Our approach to give you confidence and mitigate risk
Our work is designed to match your decision point, whether that is early screening, scale-up readiness, or relief and protection validation.
Typical process
1. Pre-assessment and scope
Clarify your chemistry, operating conditions, credible deviations, and what you need the data to decide.
2. Hazard identification and screening
Establish whether decomposition, side reactions, or instability could drive escalation, including tools such as CHETAH where appropriate, screening can involve differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or other thermal screening approaches to detect early exothermic activity.
3. Targeted calorimetry and stability characterisation
Generate decision-quality results using techniques matched to your system and risk profile this step may include calibrated reaction calorimetry (e.g. Mettler RC1) or accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) testing to quantify thermal and pressure escalation potential.
4. Pressure and relief considerations
Where relevant, focus on pressure generation mechanisms and what they imply for protection measures.
5. Clear reporting and practical recommendations
You receive outputs that support engineering decisions, change management, and safe operating envelope definition.
