CSE multi-disciplined analytical engineering approach is uniquely qualified to perform root cause analysis of fires/explosions. CSE's staff includes chemical, mechanical, fire protection, industrial and civil engineers offering a powerful combination of experimental and analytical methods, along with advanced computational tools to perform state of the art failure analysis and computer generated incident reconstruction.

CSE has the capability of incorporating various Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes for fire and near field vapor cloud dispersion modeling. CFD codes allow effective recreation of ignition sources and fire scenarios from both vapor releases and slow growth fires. Vapor cloud releases can be dynamically modeled to determine dispersion rates, concentration profiles (including flammable limits for electrical classification and other ignition source placement issues), in addition to chemical exposure limits for workers.

Industrial/process analysis experience includes: chemical reactors and reaction process, industrial furnaces, solids transport and packaging units, electro-plating processes, environmental combustors, gas turbines, gas distribution pipelines, along with general manufacturing and warehousing fires/explosions.
