Adiabatic Calorimetry
Adiabatic calorimeter testing provides data for relief system design, safe scale-up of chemical processes and changes to process recipes. FAI has been the industry leader in adiabatic calorimetry since the concept of DIERS testing was first introduced in 1985. Safe process design requires knowledge of chemical reaction rates, character and energy release - all of which can be obtained from a low phi factor adiabatic calorimeter such as the VSP2 or ARSST.
The VSP2 (Vent Sizing Package 2) and the ARSST (Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool) provide thermal data required for safe scale-up of chemical processes and changes to process recipes. A variety of process upset conditions can be tested to satisfy hazards identified by a PHA or HAZOP study. The low phi factor allows the heat and gas generation rates to be measured which leads to the appropriate design of emergency pressure relief systems.
