Explosion Modelling

Understanding explosion hazards from flammables is crucial for risk assessment in your facilities.


At our core, we are a team of experts who have devoted extensive time and effort to comprehensively study and evaluate the intricacies of explosion dynamics. We have explored a multitude of factors that impact explosions, including various fuel types (including mixtures), gas concentrations, ignition points, congestion levels, confinement conditions, and the efficacy of mitigation measures such as water deluge or inert gas.

We are here to help you assess the explosion-related risks specific to your facility and, more importantly, to aid you in devising robust safety measures that align with regulatory standards. Whether it is reducing consequences to an acceptable level or minimising and even eliminating explosion risks through adaptations or contemporary designs, we are your partners in safety.

Our ability spans a wide spectrum, ranging from the use of simplified modelling approaches like Shell FRED to more detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis like FLACS. We employ these tools to conduct specialised explosion case studies and standardised explosion analysis, ensuring that your facility still is secure from explosive hazards.
