ARSST (Advanced Reactive System Screening Tool)
"To enhance reactivity hazard evaluation, Kaypear Engineering has established an ARSST testing facility at its head quarters"
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
ARSST is a low thermal-inertia calorimeter. The data obtained from the calorimeter does not require scale up or correction of thermal inertia.
ARSST data can help quickly and safely identify potential chemical hazards in the process industry. It gives an experimental knowledge of the rates of temperature and pressure rise during run away reaction. It also provides relaible energy and gas release rates which can be applied directly to full scale process conditions.
ARSST data usage can be directly used for most process upser condition like loss of cooling, loss of agitation, fire induced decomposition, accumulation or mischarge of reactants.
ARSST test can be performed in batch, semi-batch and injection type of reactions. The calorimeter can simulate plant conditions and a test protocol needs to be developed with process knowledgeable person. Contact us at safe-test@kaypear.com
ARSST data assists with quickly screening for hazardous chemical reactions and estimates key process safety parameters including 1) vent sizing 2) temperature and pressure rise rate 3) adiabatic temperature rise 4) heat of reaction and 5) time to maximum rate
The data can be used for more than screening and not limited to the following: design and engineering, temperature of no return, vent sizing,
Yes. Kaypear can do ARSST testing.
