Oxygen failures
Oxygen is an oxidising gas. It is the cause of many incidents and accidents.
From medical oxygen equipment to industrial explosions, we have the expertise and tools to determine what went wrong.
What are the main sources of oxygen-related incidents ?
Mechanisms that can lead to ignition are mainly :
- Adiabatic compression
- Presence of particles
- Lack of cleanliness
Ignition occurring in an oxygen installation can cause chain reaction fires.
