An ISO accredited, ultramodern testing facility whose experienced professionals will help you define what you need, conduct the testing, interpret the data, and conduct detailed analysis. All with the goal of helping you identify your hazards, define and control your risk.
On January 7, 2013, a lithium-ion battery caught fire on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Watch this PStv® Safety Moment for an examination of the root causes of this incident and the implications for electric vehicles. In this video, we also present process safety design lessons learned to help you prevent future incidents.
A major petroleum company recently increased production capacity and required an analysis of its existing relief systems to validate performance and design. As a result of increasing production capacity and debottlenecking studies, several refinery units were found to be operating at charge rates higher than the design basis for the relief systems documentation.
An international oil company was preparing to startup a state of the art acid gas injection facility and needed to benchmark against current industry practices for handling large quantities of toxic gas at high pressure.
A supplier was being sued because his product, when delivered, went into the wrong storage tank. This led to a chemical reaction and release of chlorine to which the plaintiffs claimed they were exposed.
The development of accurate chemical interaction matrices can provide valuable information for the management of potential chemical reactivity hazards. SuperChems™ 1, a component of Process Safety Office® 2, provides intuitive and easy to use utilities for the rapid development of chemical interaction matrices. These utilities were developed based on known heuristics and rules for the interaction of certain chemical groupings. SuperChems also provides additional utilities for the calculation of energy release and stoichiometry of one or more chemical reactions using detailed multiphase chemical equilibrium algorithms and reacting flow dynamics. In addition to thermo-physical and transport properties databanks, SuperChems provides hazards databanks where chemical groupings and other reactivity and toxicity data are available for approx-imately three thousand chemicals. Of particular interest is version 8.5 of the hazards databanks, released in March of 2018.
