Key benefits:
Produce more accurate results through realistic geometry
Geometry plays a significant role in consequence analysis, especially when it comes to explosions. FLACS-CFD accounts for detailed geometry aspects, including equipment layout, site congestion and topography details.
Generate reliable results by including environmental conditions
Weather and other environmental conditions can influence the outcome of your analysis. Input data based on your facilities’ surrounding environment to account for various wind directions and speeds as well as atmospheric stability.
Access to a large chemical database
Choose the chemicals you want to analyze through FLACS-CFD’s chemical database with just a few clicks. The software includes approximately 1,800 chemical components from the DIPPR® database.
Communicate your results effectively
Create 3D graphical displays and videos to show the effects of unintended releases. Produce visual results that can be clearly understood even by non-technical professionals.
Trustworthy based on years of validations and continuous improvements
FLACS-CFD has been extensively tested and validated for more than 40 years. Gexcon continuously develop new physical models following analysis of mid and large-scale experiments. The validation group rigorously reviews experimental data through the automated validation framework developed for the different FLACS-CFD modules to demonstrate consistency with actual experiments.

Applicable in all project phases:
1. Design/ Pre-FEED
Assess the safety of your facility and produce optimal safe design at an early stage.
Frequently used on large capital expenditure projects for optimal facility layout design.
2. Construction
Reduce CAPEX and OPEX by preventing over-design of safety/ mitigation measures.
Ensure proper preventive and mitigative measures from ignition sources.
3. Operation
Increase assets’ uptime through risk assessment during simultaneous operations.
Assert safe operational performance by simulating worst-case scenarios.
4. Modification
Understand the impact of hazards on your site modifications.
Evaluate the impact of adding/modifying equipment at your facility.
