Irene Pro is a comprehensive and user-friendly analysis and calculation solution for gas networks. Developed by Kiwa, Irene Pro serves as an essential tool for numerous network operators in the construction, management and maintenance of gas networks.
The resistance against permeation of gases and water through pipe walls and other separation components such as films, is for many practical applications a very important property. In this area, Kiwa Technology has gained vast knowledge and experience.
In Germany, plastic products of all kinds as well as rubber products that come into contact with drinking water must meet the hygienic and toxicological requirements of the guidelines of the Federal Environment Agency test (UBA). This is described in the elastomer guideline as well as in the KTW guideline.
No two buildings are exactly alike. Many have similar functional requirements, but each is unique; incorporating different materials, layouts and occupants. Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance can apply fire engineering techniques, along with their exacting knowledge of standards and design acumen, to advise on robust and cost-effective fire safety engineering solutions.
The quality of (city) heating networks depends to a significant extent on the quality of the connections in the pipelines. Leaks that allow water ingress, which often occur in sleeve connections, can lead to degradation of the insulation with all the resulting effects on thermal insulation performance
Kiwa Technology carries out feasibility studies to support gas traders, fleet owners and governments; to facilitate investment, safety, and provide an overview on the possibilities of alternative fuels CNG, LNG, H2 and CH2. To serve this objective, the study covers various aspects of the business concept development.
Kiwa Technology investigates the cause of all types of accidents involving gas. These investigations are required in order to continue to use gas safely and also in order to assign responsibility for damages to the right parties.
Problems in pipelines are often caused by the joints. Kiwa Technology has built up vast experience. For example, we have used our expertise in the area of plastic welding (of PE, PEX, PA, PP etc.) and other jointing techniques for years to support our consultancy regarding research and development projects.
It is always better to prevent a fire than react to one – this simple mantra is the cornerstone of successful fire safety management. But sometimes fires do occur, and it can be a devastating prospect, but with the expertise of the Kiwa Fire Safety Compliance professionals you're in safe hands.
When the composition of the gas is crucial. Particularly when the calorific value or Wobbe index needs to be identified. In addition, it is important that the gas is free of detrimental trace components. The possible presence of certain trace components depends strongly on the origin of the gas.
If you have, or are developing, a new product in the area of heat energy distribution, such as delivery sets or heat pump systems, you obviously want to be sure that this product is as good as possible and that it complies with all the relevant standards.
Natural gas, hydrogen gas and many other gases are naturally odorless. This can cause dangerous situations, for example if a leak or other incident occurs. Gases that are distributed via the Dutch gas network must therefore be scented with a so-called odorant.
The energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex. In the past, all users were purchasers of electricity and gas or heat. Now a much greater variety of technologies is available such as heat pumps, home heat and power plants, solar-powered boilers and wind turbines.
Kiwa offers testing and development services of automotive components for LPG, CNG, LNG and hydrogen, as well as cyclic and climatic tests. We mainly test pressurized components and electronics.
Benchmarking is one of the possibilities for improving the quality of your organisation and/or processes. If you wish to achieve the objectives that you have set, for example, for your asset management, you will have to translate them into specific, measurable, objective and consistent indicators.
Infrastructure consultancy with a focus on all sorts of pavement constructions. From municipal roads to container terminals, from dike revetments to airports. We are experts in constructions and paving materials like asphalt concrete, concrete and block paving.
To reduce carbon emissions the global community increasingly strives to generate energy using renewable sources. In many European countries electricity generated by wind turbine generators (WTG’s) already accounts for a significant part of the available green energy.
