Ventilation Modelling

Our insights are invaluable in preventing the formation of flammable clouds in the event of a combustible gas release. Our expertise spans various fields of study, including wind chill analysis, helideck or crane siting, mechanical ventilation optimisation, and HVAC system design.


Gexcon’s ventilation studies go the extra mile to evaluate proposed ventilation arrangements and design optimisations to minimise the size of potentially hazardous gas clouds. Ventilation patterns yield crucial data for predicting the behaviour of gas dispersion scenarios with low momentum. For instance, a detailed prediction of the internal flow patterns in an energy centre can help determine the effectiveness of a ventilation system and allow for any potential dead spots to be identified, which could lead to the formation of a flammable cloud upon an accidental release of combustible gas.

Whether it’s operational health assessments, operational analysis, or inputs for hazardous area classification in fire and explosion risk assessments, particularly in stagnant or low ventilation areas, Gexcon ensures you receive the most optimal solutions for your plant design installation. Their expertise spans various fields of study, including wind chill analysis, helideck or crane siting, mechanical ventilation optimisation, and HVAC system design.
