Explosion Modeling
We offer computational fluid dynamic models of releases for overpressure, thermal radiant, and toxic concentration plumes.
- Electrolyte, washer fluid, refrigerant releases
- Battery Pack thermal runawayhttps://websites.godaddy.com/
- Bag house release
- Tanks (flammable liquid & gas, cryogenic), pressure vessels (reactors, boilers, HPS, flash drums, fin-fans), rotating equipment (compressors, pumps, co-gens), etc.
Electrical Area Classification
We provide 2 dimensional (bubble) maps. I pioneered this effort in EV Automotive industry for two clients. The value of the visual EAC 2D maps, aids in clear identification of the hazardous area for greenfield design considerations and future expansion evaluations.
- Class/Division or Zone analysis for flammable material and combustible dust
- Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE), Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC)
- KST (explosion pressure), Pmax (max dust pressure) for combustible dust analysis
- CAD, REVIT drawings
Hazardous Chemical Classification
We analyze all chemicals for use and storage inside a building to classify per International Fire Code (IFC) and International Building Code (IBC). The format, HazReps prepares is user friendly for Fire Marshals and has been field tested with AHJs with positive results.
- Classification of chemicals
- Prepare Hazardous Material Inventory Sheet (HMIS) for building permits.
- Max Allowable Quantity (MAQ) analysis
- Hazardous (H) Room requirements analysis
- Greenfield/Brownfield consultation
- Provide sustainable HMIS program for clients to align with annual HMIS permit revalidation.
