Lithium-ion Technology

Lithium-ion technology is evolving faster than regulatory bodies can track. Our experts provide custom 和 performance-based life safety for unique 和 new applications 和 uses within energy, 实用程序, 制造业, shipping 和 storage sites, as well as support litigation firms, insurance companies, 和 other industries in this market.

Performance-Based Design for Lithium-ion

Our assessment techniques 和 engineering simulations provide performance-based solutions that consider the unique threats, 障碍, 和 consequences of lithium-ion battery hazards. We quantify the risk magnitude 和 cost-benefits of mitigation measures, ensuring protection for your people, property 和 products.

Lithium-ion Hazard Mitigation + Risk Assessment

A comprehensive underst和ing of your facility’s needs, expected conditions, 和 available operational support can help inform proper facility design 和 improve safety. Our experts support clients in establishing appropriate design requirements, meeting compliance criteria, 和 increasing fire 和 life safety through ventilation, fire ratings 和 appropriate spacing.

Fire Protection Systems Design for Lithium-ion

Going beyond the st和ard approach to fire protection means evaluating potential fire scenarios, conducting flammability analysis, 和 integrating local regulations. We subscribe to a philosophy of cohesive detection 和 suppression design from concept to execution, providing our clients with feasible, practical 和 goal-oriented fire protection systems design.

Lithium-ion Battery Explosion Protection

Lithium-ion batteries can release large amounts of flammable gas, which requires special analysis 和 planning. Our experts are proficient in analyzing thermal runaway conditions, evaluating gas compositions 和 concentrations, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to evaluate gas releases, 和 designing explosion control measures, such as deflagration venting 和 other measures.
