Salus:
Evergreen Relief System Software
For many manufacturing processes, Relief Systems Design documentation is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring the safety of operations personnel. Common challenges for teams responsible for generating and maintaining compliant relief systems documentation include:
- Working with poorly organized process data
- Performing relief systems calculations correctly and consistently
- The time and expertise required to create studies for each relief system
- The ability to easily reference documentation in the future
To address these challenges, Smith & Burgess developed Salus, a comprehensive and robust relief system software package designed for engineers. With Salus, you can accurately and efficiently work through the lengthy task of Relief Systems Design. Regular updates ensure Salus always has the most up-to-date calculation methods, performance enhancements, features, and tools available.

Sequential Workflows
Salus provides a straightforward, sequential workflow that effectively guides the user through each step of the Relief Systems Design process. After performing relief systems analysis, users can access a digital library of up-to-date process safety information.
Evergreening Process Safety Documentation
Processes are constantly changing due to Management of Change (MOC) or capital project implementation. Salus includes a transparent system for revisioning analysis, allowing for the evergreening of process safety documentation. This system ensures the most up-to-date information is readily available for design purposes while simultaneously maintaining historical records of previous installations.
Integrated Thermodynamic Engine
A robust thermodynamic engine is integrated directly into Salus to perform standard calculations in Relief Systems Design. This engine significantly enhances efficiency by providing immediate access to physical properties and automating complex estimations, eliminating the need for manual lookups and hand calculations. If you’ve ever had to look up physical properties or perform manual estimations, you'll appreciate how Salus saves valuable time and ensures consistent, accurate results.
Salus Data Insights
The Salus software package includes access to Salus Data Insights, a web-based querying tool that authorized users can use to rapidly generate tables with relief analysis information. This tool enables users to efficiently search and filter large datasets to locate specific information for generating detailed reports in various formats, such as XLSX, CSV, and PDF, offering flexibility and simplifying data manipulation.
User Feedback and Support
Users can also access feedback options to suggest new features or contact full-time Salus support engineers to help resolve common issues. Furthermore, Knowledge Base Articles detailing calculation methodologies and recurring Salus training are available to all users.
Benefits
Salus provides advantages that simplify and enhance Relief Systems Design. Salus addresses the key challenges engineers face by ensuring data accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. Discover the comprehensive benefits that make Salus an essential tool for your team.
Evergreening Advantages
All relief system information is securely stored in a central location, ensuring the use of the most up-to-date data for analysis while maintaining a complete record of previous installations. Each completed report and all the information used to generate it are readily accessible for reference via the Data Insights tool. This centralized storage system provides quick access to the most current data and maintains a comprehensive archive of previous records, enhancing the tool's reliability and ease of data retrieval.
Quality Assurance and Consistency
Salus complies with all relevant codes and standards and has built-in calculation methods to ensure a consistent analysis. The software is regularly updated to incorporate industry standards and best practices, providing users with reliable and validated analysis tools. By automating complex calculations and standardizing procedures, Salus ensures all analyses are performed consistently and accurately. Additionally, the built-in quality checks and validation routines help maintain the integrity of the data, giving users confidence in the results generated by the software.
Data Insights to Resolve Concerns
Salus includes "Data Insights." Data analytic tools allowing users to instantly obtain queries of relief system study results to identify high-risk systems and major load contributors. These tools also allow users to instantly obtain a complete list of all equipment and systems with deficiencies in the relief system or to identify equipment or systems that may be directly impacted by any modifications to a related system.
Built-in Calculations
Built-in calculation methods allow for rapid required relief rate determination, relief device sizing, and hydraulic calculations. Our built-in thermodynamic engine supports various calculations, including required relief rate determination, relief device sizing, and inlet/outlet piping hydraulics. The fluid physical properties are displayed for each calculation, enhancing the efficiency of the analysis process.
System-Based Analysis
Salus uses a system-based approach, attaching all scenario identification and subsequent calculations to the protected system rather than the protecting relief device. When defining the system, the user specifies the protecting relief devices, protected equipment, and associated entities (control valves, pumps, etc.) relevant to the analysis. This allows for significant time savings when performing Management of Change as all system connections are available for quick reference.
Sequential Workflow
Sequential workflows guide the user through the analysis, ensuring a comprehensive and organized approach. Additionally, a localized help manual is readily available to guide you through each step of the analysis.
Salus Training for Engineers
Complimentary training is provided quarterly to assist new and returning users with learning and relearning Salus. These training sessions ensure that personnel at your site can effectively use Salus.
