NIROPLAN brings together material scientists, application-oriented laboratory and chemical engineers, and process consultants.

The Experts

About the team

We combine analytical depth with practical implementation in the sensitive pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor industry and among others: we measure, analyse and act. Our strength ranges from immediate response in the production environment to long-term R&D projects including documentation. We work neutrally, verifiably, cost consciously and with a view to standards, sustainability and industrial applicability.

QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY:
Our quality and environmental policy is shaped by our guiding principles.

Erich Hasel
Corrosion does not begin in the material itself respectively not at the surface of the related component unmotivated, but it starts often in what remains beyond sight. It is not the stainless steel alloy that fails first, but it is attention. Where side-processes are ignored, time takes over command. Corrosion is therefore less a chemical issue than a human failure related by mistakes in component design, surface treatment, wrong material choice, production process specials, media changes, etc.

Problem-oriented rather than catalogue-based:

  • Documentation suitable for inspections and audits
  • Immediate response (initial assessment within 48 hours)
  • White papers and checklists
  • Partner network for advanced analytics
