Fauske & Associates (FAI) offers a wide range of services related to Dust Hazards Analysis (DHA) characterizing, preventing and mitigating combustible dust explosion, dust combustion and fire hazards.
One of the keys to safely scaling up a chemical process is managing the energy or heat flux that the intended chemical reaction produces, especially when that chemical transformation is exothermic in nature.
In response to continued rapid growth in safety needs for the chemical and nuclear industries, Fauske & Associates (FAI) offers a complete range of Risk Management Services.
Often material safety data sheets refer to the thermal stability as an intrinsic property of a substance or mixture. In fact, this is an oversimplification of a concept that must be defined in a more comprehensive way.
Fauske and Associates (FAI) has extensive experience in characterizing the explosive or flammable nature of solids, liquids, vapors and gases. With this expertise, we are proud to offer a suite of UN/DOT testing of potentially dangerous goods.
For those seeking an optimal balance between operability and cost, our Maintenance Optimization Modeling provides a simple but comprehensive solution that is based on probabilistic and statistical analysis of your most important plant assets.
Fauske & Associates proudly employs process safety professionals and industrial plant safety from around the world, speaking more than 17 languages at our laboratory headquarters in Burr Ridge, alone. We travel often and we also employ representatives worldwide for chemical & industrial testing services.
Published white papers, lectures, seminars and webinars are a vital and constant part of our outreach to customers, universities, industries, plants and government. As leaders in the world of process safety for both the nuclear and chemical/industrial sectors, we take very seriously our ability to educate and share about chemical and industrial testing services.
