 | ADIABATIC CALORIMETRY DATASHEET The assessment of runaway reactions and thermal decompositions is a critical part of the safe operation of a chemical process or drying operation. Obtaining laboratory data that can be directly scaled-up to the production size of most plant operations requires that both the heat losses and thermal inertia (phi factor) of the plant is replicated.
Adiabatic calorimetry is designed to provide data which can be used for consequence assessment, emergency relief system design (using DIERS methods) and accurate thermal stability assessment.

 | PREVENT A structured procedure to reduce the need for an extensive reaction hazard assessment of a process. This technique permits a faster and more cost-effective mechanism for ensuring an effective basis of reaction safety using valid and proven engineering solutions - particularly if pressure relief is to be employed.

 | REACTION CALORIMETRY DATASHEET Do you understand the thermochemistry and kinetics of your reactions? Many companies don’t and some have suffered major incidents as a result of scale-up or process modification without a basic appreciation of the reaction thermochemistry. This datasheet explains some of the benefits of Reaction Calorimetry data for process safety and scale-up.

 | THERMAL STABILITY TESTING DATASHEET Do you know the thermal limits of your materials? Almost all materials will undergo some form of thermal oxidation, decomposition or self-reaction at elevated temperatures. It is therefore a prerequisite of safe chemical manufacture and processing that the thermal stability limits of the materials are understood when working at elevated temperatures.
