Classification: CPC F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a high-vapor-pressure (HVP) material (300) comprising a plurality of component hydrocarbons;
a containment vessel (103), wherein an evacuated portion of the containment vessel (103) has a vacuum pressure low enough to cause the HVP material (300) to flash to an HVP vapor when the HVP material (300) is introduced into the evacuated portion of the containment vessel (103);
a Process Relief Device (PRD) (106) configured to introduce a process relief mass (503) into the containment vessel (103) from a process relief event occurring outside the containment vessel (103), and mix the process relief mass (503) with the HVP material (300) vapor in the containment vessel (103); and
a plurality of individual energy absorption processes configured to distribute energy from the process relief mass (503) over time within the containment vessel (103) as the plurality of component hydrocarbons respectively condense to liquid phases.
