Selected Case Studies


Root Cause Investigations
A leading manufacturer of water treatment chemicals was experiencing explosions in industrial cooling towers that used their product for bio-control. These explosions were unpredictable, caused substantial property loss, and had the potential for personal injury or death. The investigation uncovered an incompatible interaction between an oxidant and a processing aid used in the product formulation. Findings of this investigation gave rise to modifications of the manufacturing process, and improvements to quality assurance program. These changes mitigated the risk of future explosion, and restored confidence in using the bromine-based biocide in industrial cooling towers.
