The Explosions extension brings more detailed and extensive consideration of explosion consequences in comparison to the standard versions of Phast and Safeti.
It has advanced vapour cloud explosion modelling capability that considers flammable cloud interaction with congested regions within process plants in all three dimensions (3D). This allows for a more realistic consideration of the explosion hazards.
A key feature of this extension is the ability to plot combined effect contours from multiple scenarios. This makes it easier to visualise, communicate and interrogate results associated with a range of hazards.
Combined effect contours can be plotted for overpressure, impulse, thermal radiation and toxic concentrations, facilitating the layout and design of equipment and buildings.
The Explosions extension uses both the Baker-Strehlow-Tang (BST) and Multi-Energy (ME) explosion models to provide options for modelling vapour cloud explosion hazards.
The extension allows for the design of buildings in accordance with guidance such as Chemical Industries Association (CIA) and API Recommended Practices 752 and 753.
The Safeti Explosions extension allows you to define building categories with different vulnerabilities, providing a more accurate QRA.
In addition to standard risk results, the extension provides exceedance curves and risk effect contours to support risk-based decision-making.
Plans are available for local installation on your PC or pre-installed virtual machine. Access is available from 1 day to 1 year for one single user.
This is an extension module and requires a valid version of Phast or Safeti.
Recommended when there is need for multiple users at the same time.
Access for multiple simultaneous users where the product license is installed on a network server and software installation on the individual user's machine.
This is an extension module and requires a valid version of Phast or Safeti.
The Explosion extension do not model escalation effects. The Explosions extension can only be used for offshore cases with simple geometry when dispersion can be reasonably predicted by the software and explosion strength can be estimated using GAMES correlation or supplied by the user. Even so, the predicted results of an explosion have no consideration of shielding by blast walls and other obstructions.
The Explosions extension is required to produce impulse information from explosion scenarios. In the process industry, both impulse and overpressure are typically used in building design.
