International Software Summit 2025 - Kuala Lumpur

Phast, Safeti, KFX and EXSIM are industry-standard tools for safety and risk analysis for major hazard facilities. This presentation will highlight key updates from the past year and outline our roadmap for the year ahead. Topics include consequence modelling with Phast CFD, transport route model enhancements, IRPA in Safeti, integration of CFD data into QRA, solid explosion modelling, improved pipeline release modelling, and the latest developments in KFX/EXSIM. These advancements support more accurate, reliable, and comprehensive safety risk analyses to meet evolving industry needs.

CCS is advancing rapidly, with over 500 projects underway globally. This presentation addresses safety considerations for managing large quantity of CO2 and showcases advanced dispersion modelling techniques for both atmospheric and subsea releases to support safe CCS projects.

Phast, the industry-standard consequence modelling software, is trusted by over 1,000 companies worldwide. For over 40 years, its models have been rigorously validated through large-scale testing at DNV’s Spadeadam site. This presentation highlights validation efforts for hydrocarbons, hydrogen, CO2, and more, ensuring accuracy and reliability across applications.

Ammonia is a key hydrogen carrier and alternative marine fuel, but its toxicity presents safety challenges. This presentation outlines recommended methodologies for accurate ammonia dispersion modelling and mitigation using water curtains, based on findings from DNV’s latest ammonia Joint Industry Project (JIP) with industry partners.

Traditional consequence modelling in QRA typically relies on empirical models with free-field assumptions. While effective in many scenarios, this approach can lead to overestimated or inaccurate results when obstacles, complex terrain, or mitigation measures significantly influence outcomes.

CFD-based consequence modelling addresses these limitations by accurately representing such complexities. By integrating CFD results into Safeti QRA, risk analyses can be made more accurate. This presentation will outline the integration process and illustrate its benefits through a case study.

Process safety engineers responsible for operational process safety often need quick and reliable estimates of hazards arising from loss of containment. Phast Online, a web-based, intuitive, and easy-to-use consequence analysis tool, is designed to meet this need. Powered by Phast, it delivers fast and trustworthy results to support safe and efficient decision-making. This presentation will highlight the technology, workflow, and practical use cases of Phast Online, showcasing how it adds value to safe operations.

The new Synergi RBI 6.0 - combining onshore, offshore, AST, and power plant RBI with Windows desktop, Web server, and SaaS subscription

As hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture projects scale up, ensuring reliable and cost-efficient operations is critical. Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) analysis provides the performance forecasting needed to balance CAPEX and OPEX, maximize uptime, and guide key decisions across the entire asset lifecycle—from concept and design through operation to decommissioning. DNV’s Maros and Taro software, long proven in the oil and gas sector, now bring these capabilities to the energy transition space, enabling informed investments and robust, low-carbon infrastructure.

This paper presents a reliability analysis of decarbonization within Power Management Systems. With the growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental concerns,  decarbonization efforts have become paramount across various industries. The study employs advanced reliability analysis techniques to assess 3 cases on effectiveness and performance of decarbonization strategies, aiming to enhance operational efficiency while reducing carbon emissions. The study highlights challenges, proposes mitigation strategies, and provides insights to guide stakeholders in enhancing efficiency, reducing emissions, and advancing sustainability goals. 

What's coming in 2026.

This session demonstrates how DNV’s MAROS software was applied to perform a Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) study for a large-scale green hydrogen facility. The talk covers modeling approach, key assumptions, and insights on optimizing design for production availability, showcasing MAROS as a powerful tool for complex energy projects.

Join our Product Manager for an interactive, hands-on session showcasing the latest enhancements in our RAM software. Participants will explore how to:
  - Use the latest mechanism to model switchover and restart delays
  - Use improved dashboards to track and analyze spare-parts movement.
  - Gain clearer insights by separating logistics impacts from mean-time-to-repair results.

You’ll get practical guidance directly from the product team and a chance to shape the discussion with questions submitted ahead of the event. This is an opportunity to practice the new features on real use cases and see how they can improve the usability and experience with the latest release.
