A system for venting a high-pressure flow stream is disclosed, the system comprising a device having an orifice plate 111 coupled to a plenum 102. Flow from the plenum flows through a plurality of orifices in the orifice plate into an inner cavity 141. A flow straightener 131 may be coupled to the inner cavity such that the flow from the inner cavity exits through the flow straightener; such that the device reduces the pressure of the fluid from the inlet pressure to an exit pressure. The flow straightener may be formed in a honeycomb shape. There may be a plurality of orifice plates 111, 112, 113 forming an orifice plate stack, each orifice plate having a plurality of orifices. A first orifice plate may have a first orifice (121, fig.6) having a first size, A second orifice plate may have a second orifice having a second size, A third orifice plate may have a third orifice (123) having a third size, |
