The second part of the SH2IFT (safe hydrogen fuel handling and use for efficient implementation) project explores a risk-based approach for operational safety.
Research Projects
Gexcon has long been dedicated to research on assessing and mitigating the impacts of major industrial incidents.
We actively contribute to research that advances process safety knowledge and technology, helping to enhance safety measures, minimise risks, and prevent incidents.
Our commitment extends to driving continuous improvement in safety practices, creating safer environments for people, assets, and the planet.
Our recent work addresses hazards from emerging technologies in conventional and renewable energy, including hydrogen safety, biofuels, solar panel production, vapour cloud explosions (VCE), rapid phase transitions (RPT), and the production, storage, and use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Key Projects
SAFEN
SAFEN aims to establish the knowledge required to develop risk-based methodologies enabling cost-efficient safety design for hydrogen, ammonia, and CO2 facilities.
HySEA
Pre-normative research on vented deflagrations in enclosures and containers for hydrogen energy applications.
Large-scale DDT Testing – RPSEA Project Award
The project’s objective is to identify the triggers for deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT), explore mitigation strategies, and improve the accuracy of predictive tools for enhanced safety.
