Analytical Services

Our Analytical services include state of the art material characterization, thermal analysis, Mass Spec, organic elemental, atomic spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, refinery support, distillation, electrochemistry, polymer analysis, X-ray diffraction, structural properties, microscopy, surface analysis, NMR, and optical spectroscopy.

Large Scale Testing

Our professionals have carried out large-scale hazard tests to verify the magnitude of the hazard in commercial scale systems. For such tests, we develop the test plan, oversee the field testing, interpret the test results, and prepare a summary report. For example, we functioned in this capacity on a series of large-scale propane tank BLEVE tests for NFPA. We also conducted blow-down tests of silane tube trailers, for a group of manufactures.

Scale-up Calculations

Our software tools are the industry standard for performing reactive system pressure relief design. 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.
