Some questions :

Is the "mbar" in gauge or abs ? Dealing with low pressure setting shall pay extra addition to the unit.

In gauge

Is the superimposed back pressure vary from 0 to 65 mbar (g or abs ?) ?
What caused this superimposed back pressure ?

The superimposed back pressure is beacuse of the outlet of the Breather valve is coonected to flare header

What is the design condition (vacuum / overpressure) of storage tank ?

The design conditions are 180 mbarg/-10 mbarg.

You stated that "...not acceptable to Process engineer...". What are the problems ? The informations may not lead me to drop any comments

The problem is with the elevated set point because the Breather valve vendor says the valve will releive only at 155 mbarg(90+65) rather than @ 90 barg setpoint

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit pressure relief valve test equipment.

Not sure if the set pressure "C" can be reduced ?
Not sure if the superimposed back pressure can be reduced ?

I am afraid that is not the issue

You stated that "...problem in selecting a suitable Pressure and Vacuum relief valve...". There are plenty of PVRV works in the same way. The pressure setting is not extra ordinary. Is it the problem with PVRV or the setting of PVRV ?

The issue is about selecting a suitable Breather valve; i.e., in the case of a PSV the effect of superimposed back pressure is minimised by the bellows design; this is not possible with conventional breather valves which do not have bellows.

SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION FOR A SUITABLE BREATHER VALVE DESIGN WHICH COULD COUNTER EFFECT THE SUPER IMPOSED BACK PRESSURE.
This will enable us to retain the set point @ 90 mbarg.

A breather valve is a pressure and vacuum relief valve used to protect tanks from over-pressure and vacuum conditions caused during filling and emptying. It balances pressure and vacuum fluctuations by venting vapor when the tank reaches a preset pressure limit, and allows air in when vacuum occurs. This prevents tank explosions and collapse while also reducing evaporation loss. Breather valves consist of an inlet and outlet valve that open independently based on tank pressure and vacuum to regulate the flow of vapor and air into and out of the tank.
