Emergency Planning

Paint Mix Area - Determined solvent and isocyanate concentrations likely to occur if process materials were accidentally spilled; CFD model developed to show how emergency ventilation would reduce concentrations below hazard levels.

Gas Release - As part of an incident investigation, used a CFD model to demonstrate how fumes from a stack release during an upset condition could enter an adjacent building through air intakes; results lead to changes in operating procedures to prevent re-occurrence.

Spill Vapors - Air concentrations of acid vapors were predicted following a simulated spill of process chemicals in a foundry etching facility.
