Fauske and Associates (FAI), a world leader in the field of process safety management to the chemical and nuclear industries, today announced off-the-shelf availability of its Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool (ARSST) to its customers in Europe and elsewhere.
ARSST, which incorporates the most recent advances in adiabatic calorimetry, is a reliable and cost-effective calorimeter that can quickly and safely identify potential thermal reaction hazards in chemical processing, transport and storage.
The product of extensive research into runaway chemical reactions and their impact on process system dynamics, the ARSST design allows users to quickly get reliable adiabatic pressure and temperature rate data that are difficult to obtain with other commercially available instruments.
Also FAI patented flow regime detector can distinguish between foamy and non-foamy reactive behaviour.
The standard hardware configuration consists of a personal computer with ARSST software, an electronics control cabinet and a safety containment vessel with a test cell enclosed.
Optional equipment includes a flow regime detector, dual thermocouple option, high pressure vessel, and an external safety relief valve for regulation of containment pressure.
"Smaller chemical facility operators in Europe and elsewhere did not have access to simple and affordable tools for implementing established protocols in relief system design until Fauske and Associates introduced the Reactive System Screening Tool (RSST) in the early 1990s", said Kris Fauske, FAI vice-president of operations and chemical systems.
"Current users of the older RSST system can now upgrade to the newer ARSST system by simply purchasing new control software, a control box and data acquisition card.".
