Hazardous Fluid Safety Experts
WHA International, Inc. has decades of hands-on experience with oxygen, hydrogen, and other hazardous fluids. Our technical team has both the specialized expertise and the unique facilities required to work with pressure systems of all kinds — including those using reactive or toxic gases and fluids.
Specialized Capabilities
We investigate fires, explosions, and failures of systems and components using oxygen, hydrogen, other hazardous fluids, or pressure equipment. From small medical oxygen equipment to large petrochemical plant explosions, we have the expertise and tools to determine what went wrong.
Failure Analysis
Our experienced team has investigated hundreds of fire and failure incidents related to pressure systems and hazardous fluids.
Technical Training
We teach the safe use of oxygen and hydrogen as well as special topics like composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs).
Hazard Analysis
We leverage decades of failure analysis and testing to understand hazards, mitigate risk, and improve systems safety.
Custom Testing
Extensive testing and research have gone into our testing program, featuring unique hazardous test capabilities at our remote test site.
Remote Testing Capabilities
Our unique custom test program features reinforced test cells, bunkers, and outdoor test areas located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. These facilities are specially equipped for dangerous high-energy testing with kinds of hazardous fluids.
We also maintain a unique industry liaison relationship with NASA’s White Sands Test Facility, providing testing solutions that exceed our own in-house capabilities.
