Chemical Reactivity Management

Our software tools are the industry standard for performing pressure relief design for reactive systems. In July of 2002, the AIChE Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems Users Group selected our relief design software (SuperChems) as a replacement for the SAFIRE computer code. SuperChems Expert has been the subject of many publications and is used successfully by several major chemical companies.

Safe design of reaction containment and venting systems, depends on a thorough understanding of chemical reactivity hazards and thermokinetics. In some cases, it is necessary to verify the theory through large scale testing.

We can help you manage your chemical reactivity hazards. Our principals “wrote the book” on process safety management, auditing, and chemical reaction safety. In addition, we offer extensive computational and laboratory testing services including:

•  Reaction Calorimetry
•  RC1 (high pressure and low pressure)
•  DSC and Dynamic DSC / high pressure
•  Adiabatic Calorimetry
•  ARC
•  APTAC
•  Vent Sizing Calorimetry
•  RSST and ARSST
•  Shock Sensitivity
•  Drop weight Test
•  Flammability (Dust and Gas)
•  20 Liter sphere for Kst/Kg values
•  Minimum Ignition Energy
•  Minimum Ignition Temperature
•  Particle size analysis
•  Moisture content analysis
•  Heats of combustion
