Plant Accidents

Plant accidents occur at facilities which process chemicals, oil and gas, petrochemicals, manufacturing plants and other industrial locations.  When an accident or plant incident occurs, Fast Response Accident Investigation (FRAI) is extremely important.  FRAI and metallurgical failure analysis can often result in correct answers to "why" and "how" questions concerning a plant accident. Dr. Jerner and J.E.I. Metallurgical, Inc. have performed accident investigations on hundreds of plant explosions, fires, chemical spills, environmental releases and equipment failures. 

Metallurgical failure analysis and/or root cause analysis is often required to provide the answer to plant fires, explosions, chemical releases and plant accidents. For more information about J.E.I. Metallurgical, Inc. accident investigations related to plant accidents follow the links to the plant type or category listed below.
