Inherent safety as a vision
Industrial processes and plants are safer today than ever before. Nevertheless, process and plant safety has enormous development potential. At the CSE Center of Safety Excellence, we live the vision of inherent safety on a daily basis, of intelligent technology that detects faults before they become acute and independently corrects them.
To achieve the goal of “zero emissions”, we conduct research and development in the companies and facilities under the umbrella of the CSE Center of Safety Excellence, promote the training and continuous education of technical experts and transfer our experience and knowledge in the project business to industrial applications.
Take part!
