What We Do
We help you identify, quantify, and control combustible dust and explosion risks across your operation. Our consultants blend field experience with deep engineering to turn standards into decisions, and decisions into safe, reliable design.
Engineering
Design reviews, protective layer selection, and system integration across venting, suppression, isolation/containment, and detection—aligned to NFPA/EN/CSA requirements and your internal standards.
Protection Strategies We Design
- Explosion Venting (standard & flameless)
- Explosion Suppression (powder & hot-water)
- Isolation & Containment (mechanical, structural)
- CO / Process Gas Detection & Panel Integration
Standards We Align To
- NFPA 68 — Deflagration venting
- NFPA 69 — Explosion prevention/suppression
- NFPA 652/654/61 — Combustible dust fundamentals & industry specifics
- EN 14491 — Dust explosion venting
- ATEX/CE — Components for explosive atmospheres
Clarity first. Then design.
Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA)
Code-aligned hazard mapping and recommendations covering materials, processes, and housekeeping/ignition controls. Outputs feed directly into engineering and capital planning.
- Discover — Process data, Kst/Pmax, drawings, and operating constraints.
- Analyze — Hazard identification, ignition sources, risk ranking, and layer selection.
- Recommend — Prioritized actions, owner assignments, and timelines.
- Document — DHA report, management system tie-ins, and inspection intervals.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Structural verification for vessels, doors, flanges, and anchors under blast load. We model non-linear materials, gasket compression, bolt stretch, and pressure-time impulses, so decisions are backed by numbers—not guesswork.
| Package | Scope | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Vessel/Panel Check | Shell, nozzle, and reinforcement under P(t) | Stresses, factors of safety, reinforcement details |
| Door/Flange Assembly | Gasket compression, bolt preload/stretch | Leak risk, bolt sizing, seating stresses |
| Anchorage & Supports | Baseplates, anchors, and frames under impulse | Anchor spec, plate thickness, weld details |
Project Management
Scope, scheduling, contractor coordination, and commissioning—through qualified partners we deliver installation and certification, then hand over with full documentation.
- Vendor coordination (mechanical, electrical, controls)
- Site readiness checks and shutdown planning
- Quality, turnover, and compliance packages
- Training and inspection plans
Deliverables
- DHA Report & Recommendations
- Engineering Basis & IFC Drawings
- FEA Package (as required)
- Commissioning & Test Plans
