 A range of tests for thermal screening including DSC, ARC, Carius Tube, VSP, Heat Flow Calorimetry provides reaction information early in the development process to improve the chemical workflow. This data can be used to characterize, optimize and understand process parameters in a controlled, accurate and reproducible environment.

 The test is performed at two controlled relative humidity conditions, an upper humidity of 50% and a lower humidity of 15%, in order to see the changes in resistivity as humidity falls.The Charge Relaxation Time compliments the Powder Volume Resistivity measurement as it indicates how long a material can retain its electrostatic charge.

 Consequence modelling is an important step in the quantitative risk assessment of a business project. Through this process, experts get significant information on the effects of a loss of containment event. It is used to deal with a wide range of threats such as fires, thermal radiation, explosions, flammable gas dispersion, etc. Furthermore, consequence modelling is used to forecast the behaviour of a harmful release and helps experts to know the possible impacts caused by the release.

 In several industries, possibilities of accidental release of toxic or flammable materials are always higher. Loss of containment (LOC) events can take place at any time. It will cause great damage to employees, people and the surrounding environment. So, one needs to understand LOC events from A to Z as it will minimise the future occurrence of unpleasant events.

 HAZOP study is the analysis of the degree of resistance of an object to artificially modelled deviations.  For example- natural disasters, system failures, emergency operation, undesirable actions,  the impact of degradation mechanisms, etc. It is advised to conduct this analysis at the early  stages of design when the possible behaviour of the system is laid.

 It is worth noting that Member States can be prosecuted by the European Union for non-compliance with the ATEX Directive. Companies can be prosecuted by the Member States themselves for non-compliance with the local legislation- in the UK this would, obviously, be DSEAR.

 The UK Government, by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has combined the relevant parts of both  Directives into the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.  These were then modified to bring in (from CAD) storage of gases under pressure, and liquids corrosive to metals.

 However, it can also be seen that the risk of an explosion to persons is not 'European Union-specific'.  Companies in other countries can have the same, or at least similar, risks. Hence why a better term for  an ATEX risk assessment may be SAPIFE: a 'Structured Assessment for the Prevention of Industrial (flash)  Fires and Explosions'- SAPIFE.

 There is also another Directive – the Chemical Agents Directive (CAD). This is another means of preventing injury to employees. However, whereas the ATEX Directive tends to concentrate on the ‘workplaces’,  CAD covers everything else. Visit Now: https://sigma-hse.com/process-safety-consultancy/dsear-assessment

 ATEX' is an abbreviation of the French - ATmosphere EXplosibles - or Explosive Atmospheres. It is a Directive from Europe to ensure that all Member States create appropriate legislation so that the risks to the health and safety of employees from an explosion caused by the work activity is reduced. It is implemented to ensure that all States have a 'Level Playing Field' and all are working to the same, or similar, level of risk.
