A pressure relief valve includes a valve body having a main bore, an inlet bore which is connected to the main bore, an outlet bore which extends through a side of the valve body, and a valve bore which connects the inlet bore with the outlet bore. A valve member is positioned in the valve bore and is movable between a closed position in which a fluid in the inlet bore is prevented from flowing into the outlet bore and an open position in which the fluid in the inlet bore is permitted to flow into the outlet bore. The valve member is movable from the closed position to the open position in response to an overpressure event in the main bore. The valve body further includes a return bore which connects the inlet bore with the main bore.

A safety valve control system may include a remotely operable control assembly, a first transducer, a valve assembly, and a compressor assembly in communication with the control assembly. The control assembly is operable to actuate the pump and valve assemblies to supply fluid to actuate the safety valve into open and closed positions, in response to one or more signals received from the first transducer. A method of operation may include maintaining the safety valve in an open or closed position while sensing a physical property with the control system; communicating a signal corresponding to the sensed physical property to the control system; and automatically closing or opening the safety valve in response to a comparison of the sensed physical property to a pre-set condition.
