Objective Process industry is challenged to produce higher product yields at lower costs and less waste while maintaining safety. Sustainable growth requires more partial oxidation of hydrocarbons and biomass. Such developments will increase explosion risk. Risk can be reduced by reliable process design and control tools, which in turn depend on experimental data and models related to extreme process conditions. Presently such data are almost non-existent. SAFEKINEX is an RTD project aiming to fill this gap, through a combination of detailed chemical kinetic insight and a hierarchy of computer models. Experiments up to 500 C and pressures up to 100 bars, will enable development of appropriate explosion safety prediction tools. The end results of the project will include an Expert System for explosion hazards in hydrocarbon-oxygen containing systems and a computational fluid dynamic package to examine the effect of plant environment on these indices.
