In sanitary processing systems, it's essential to understand the distinct roles of back pressure regulators (BPRs) and safety relief valves (SRVs). BPRs maintain a set upstream pressure by continuously controlling fluid flow, ensuring consistent system performance. In contrast, SRVs act as safety devices, rapidly venting excess pressure only during overpressure events to protect equipment. Choosing the right component is crucial for both operational efficiency and safety.
