QEM Solutions were asked to assist Aggreko in the development of the type QSK-19 330kW Generator set with respect to completing a risk assessment to help demonstrate compliance with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR).
QEM carried out a full review of the apparatus in accordance with IGEM/SR25 to assess the possible risk in accordance with DSEAR. This included both desk based and on site validaion of the equipment and operations.
Following the DSEAR risk assessment various points were identified that, if incorporated into the 330kW QSK-19 generator design, will further reduce the risk of fire and/or explosion that is always a potential with hydrocarbon powered equipment.
