Frank Havemann — Founder, FRALEX ESS

25 years in the field. Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Offshore, Chemical. 6,000 live interventions on pressurized systems.

I built FRALEX ESS because no existing standard tells you whether you can intervene on a 30-year-old corroded pipe under 70 bar — while it's still running. That decision gap is where accidents happen.

FRALEX ESS is the engineering standard I wished existed when I started. 27 volumes, built alone, over 12 years.
