Im Rahmen des beantragten Innovationsforums InnoBOSK soll eine engere Vernetzung zwischen KMU und Endanwendern im Bereich der zivilen Sicherheitstechnologie und -Forschung erreicht werden. Aktuell ist dieser Zugang und eine umfassende Markterkundung mit Erhebung der Forschungsbedarfe und Fähigkeitslücken für KMU aufgrund der Struktur der Endanwender-Landschaft in Deutschland mit eigenen Ressourcen kaum zu leisten. Das Innovationsclusters Zivile Sicherheitsforschung (InCluSiF) soll um ein Netzwerk von KMU ergänzt werden. Hierüber können KMU den konsolidierten, priorisierten Forschungsbedarf und bestehende Fähigkeitslücken direkt und zentral mit zukünftigen potentiellen Abnehmern und Anwendern diskutieren, Lösungen und Anforderungen aus der Praxis klarer umreißen und die Endanwender in die Forschung und Entwicklung zielgerichteter einbinden. Auf diese Weise werden
Fehlentwicklungen, „Lösungen ohne tatsächliches Problem“ und Fehlinvestitionen vermieden. Durch das Innovationsforum wird auch das gegenseitige Verständnis verbessert, und so ein schnellerer und
zielgerichteter Innovationsprozess ermöglicht. Nach einer systematischen Bedarfserhebung bei den BOS anhand einer von InCluSIF entwickelten Methodik finden im Rahmen des Innovationsforums u. a. Workshops zur Skizzierung von neuen Lösungsansätzen (Verwendung von ko-kreativen Methoden, Design
Thinking u.ä.) statt.
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is an industrial scale starting material e.g. for polymer production (PTFE, FEP). When ignited the chemically unstable TFE is capable of decomposing in an explosive way. Explosion propagation through pipe systems of production plants have led to damage and fatalities within the last seven decades.
Incident analyses identified compression heat a relevant source of ignition. Chemical plants consist of pipes, vessels, separating valves, strainers and other components. Before restarting the process after maintenance work, different parts of the plant components could be filled with TFE, nitrogen or air at different initial pressures ranging from vacuum or atmospheric to TFE at operating pressure. Valve opening procedures may cause a temperature increase in the gas phase. Compression takes place at polytropic conditions. Heat losses cannot be neglected. The temperature development in the gas depends upon the surface to volume ratio of the enclosure, geometrical influences, the state of gas flow, how fast the valve opens, and the heat capacity of the gas being compressed.
Laboratory scale tests (Meyer, 2009) revealed ignition of TFE/air due to compression heat. Tests in pipes of 28 mm inner diameter, i.e. already industrial scale, were performed by (Kluge et. al., 2016). In the present contribution initial test results from a 63 mm pipe will be compared with existing 28 mm pipe data. A description of the experimental setup as well as an explanation of the hazard diagram will be given.
Furthermore, a method allowing for the identification of hazardous conditions will be discussed.

Therefore the temperature development in the gas depends upon the surface-to-volume-ratio of the enclosure, geometrical influences, the state of gas flow, how fast the valve opens and the heat capacity of the gas being compressed.
In the present work initial test results from a 2.5” pipe will be compared with existing 1.1” pipe data. Geometrical effects will be briefly discussed as well as some first results concerning the influence of orifices are reported. Furthermore a method allowing for the identification of hazardous initial conditions is discussed.
During manufacturing and production processes of pyrotechnic compositions, semi-finished devices and regular pyrotechnic articles an inadvertent reaction or even explosion cannot be fully excluded. The optimization of the design of the involved single work processes can only reduce the risk of such a scenario. For doing so, one must consider the respective properties regarding thermal, mechanical, chemical and electrostatic sensitivities of the compositions being processed. One major key parameter in reducing the risks of such an event is to minimize the consequences, if the likelihood of this event cannot be further reduced.
Minimizing the consequences in cases of unintended explosions during production processes comprises of construction measures regarding buildings (different walls, orientation etc.), increasing safety distances to other buildings, and lowering the maximum net explosive masses and the number of people per room or production process.
Important criteria for defining and setting protection measures are the so-called ‘hazard groups’ (in German ‘Gefahrgruppen’), net explosive masses and the main impacts or hazards (such as blast pressure, heat/radiation and debris).
This paper aims at presenting some approaches used in Germany to minimize the impacts of possible reactions or inadvertent explosions during production processes of pyrotechnic compositions and articles in work spaces. This includes also the determination of safety distances and discussions on reducing thermal impacts.
