The RC1e Process Safety Workstation is a semi-automated system that, in combination with iC Safety software, can be used to investigate thermal and hazardous risk of a wide range of chemical processes. Enhanced reaction control reduces the risk of large-scale failures that endanger lives, equipment and profits. A precision thermostat instantly determines all critical process parameters. The RC1e provides quality data on both desired outcomes and undesired reactive potential to identify and mitigate thermal risk. By collecting realtime heat-flow data and recording a chemical’s reactivity potential, runaway reactions are anticipated and can be avoided through appropriate process development and safety measures. — Mettler Toledo, Schwerzenbach, Switzerland
