T2 Laboratories: Industrial Process Safety a Critical Consideration When Scaling Up Production
Success in business often starts out with a well-intended idea. In the case of T2 Laboratories, a growing market for the gasoline additive methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MCMT), inspired the company owners to leverage their chemical industry experience to generate profits.
Although neither of the T2 owners had previously worked with reactive chemical processes, a customer of theirs asked them to produce MCMT. After thinking about it, they felt it was the smart and prudent move to start small and then build up.
Between 2000 and 2001, T2’s owners ran 110 test batches of MCMT in a one-liter reactor. They suffered growing pains during those test batches, but overall the tests encouraged them to press on with development.

While Layers of Protection should remain functionally independent from each other, it’s also important streamline the management of process safety.
