Expert advice
GexCon may provide expert participation in accident investigations,
projects or meetings where gas explosion safety is an issue. This may
for instance take the form of workshops or inter-disciplinary
brainstorming sessions in order to develop a design. GexCon has
experience from explosion assessment of more than 100 platforms or
process areas and can draw on a large database of previous designs.
Particularly
in inter-disciplinary gatherings, the participation of an explosion
specialist has proved to be very beneficial - both for the particular
project as well as later projects. It is possible for the different
disciplines to gather experience even in the form of rules of thumb
through such meetings, an experience which can be applied over and over
again, and which will save money in the long run.
The
figure above illustrates two general principles for improved explosion
safety:
- do not cover vent openings
- align equipment in the direction of an explosion
Experts can, e.g. in a concept phase, contribute to explosion risk reduction by sharing this and more specialised kinds of knowledge.
