ISO accredited, ultramodern testing facility does chemical reactivity testing, combustible dust testing, specialized tests and process safety training.
Lab testing was critical in determining the causes of the 2001 acrylic reactor explosion that occurred on May 18, 2001, in Taiwan. Using calorimetric analysis of the chemical mixture, investigators were able to reconstruct the incident. ioKinetic can help. https://t.co/hiDKK5IW4c
On May 18, 2001, a 6-ton reactor at the Fu Kao Chemical Plant in Taiwan ruptured during a runaway polymerization incident, killing one man and injuring 112. Read this presentation from the @IChemE Symposium Series for valuable lessons on chemical safety. https://t.co/yfkIomH3xX
Presenting methods for assessing existing relief systems in case of contamination and/or fire exposure — specifically when sodium hydroxide and ammonia chemicals are present — using calorimetry data. Recommendations for risk management are also included. https://t.co/8jUZAN2UNs
A chemical company required an audit of their plant's flammable and combustible dust handling equipment, which typically handles organic solvents and dusts. Read this case study to learn the advantages of working with ioKinetic. https://t.co/Rwf9xI74HR
#DustSafety
In 1992, an explosion of ammonium nitrate and nitrite dust occurred at a chemical facility in France. The compressor and a portion of its discharge line at the oxidation capacity intake were destroyed. Read the BARPI incident report for lessons learned. https://t.co/Z69hubZrNr
In 1989, a cryogenic tank filled with 7,000 tons of ammonia ruptured and ignited, killing 7 and injuring 57 workers. Calorimetry data for ERS design is absolutely critical to meet compliance. Read the BARPI incident report for lessons learned. https://t.co/wfFZsBV8N5
Read this publication for guidance that can be applied to reactive systems subject to process-and-fire-induced runaway reactions, tanks that store reactive materials, and two-phase flow of reactive materials. https://t.co/KVpIWJ1oa8
#ReliefDesign#ReactiveChemicals
Have you confirmed the adequacy of all the relief devices at your facility? A chemical manufacturing company needed a comprehensive evaluation of their PRDs and unprotected equipment, including one reactive reactor system. Read about ioKinetic's approach. https://t.co/TQuaX87ijQ
ARC data is used for reactive system process characterization, pressure relief system design, defining safe upper and lower limits, and more. Take advantage of 20% off* for a limited time from ioKinetic. https://t.co/NjPd5w7lh9
