Product » FLACS


Tridiagonal Solutions brings you the most powerful tool available for Fire and Explosion modeling "FLACS". FLACS is an advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool for the modeling of ventilation, gas dispersion, prediction and consequence analysis of vapor cloud explosions and blasts in complex process areas. FLACS is used for the quantification and management of explosion risks in the offshore petroleum industry & onshore chemical industries. The development of FLACS has been carried out with the full co-operation, support, direction and funding of 10 international oil & gas companies; BP, Conoco, Elf, Exxon, Gasunie, Gaz de France, Mobil, Norsk Hydro, Phillips, Statoil and three legislative bodies, Health & Safety Executive, Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and BMFT (Germany). FLACS is the leading tool for explosion consequence prediction on offshore oil and gas installations for more than a decade. Every year FLACS is used in safety studies and risk assessments on more than a hundred off-shore facilities in most of the parts of the world.

It identifies risk prone areas, determine measures for preventing such events from happening or reducing their consequences, if they happen. Quantify the probability of explosions, explosion loads and structural response to explosions .
