AgniKawach™ · अग्नि कवच · Fire Shield
Model fire, explosion and toxic release before they happen
AgniKawach builds a cloud platform for consequence modelling and quantitative risk assessment, for the world’s most hazardous industries. It answers the question every such facility must answer: if containment fails, how far does the damage reach, and who is inside that boundary?
Flammable zone
Ignition possible
At or above LFL
Caution zone
Gas concentration reducing
½ LFL
Low-concentration zone
Gas diluted by air
¼ LFL
LFL = Lower Flammability Limit
Minimum concentration of gas that can ignite.
“When seconds save lives, we put world class safety modelling on every engineer’s desk.”
Why this matters
The cost of getting the answer wrong
Every year, industrial accidents take lives that better analysis could have saved. A gas release that travels further than anyone expected. A fire that radiates beyond the boundaries drawn on a plan. An explosion amplified by the very structures that surround it.
Regulators across the world require operators to study these events before they happen. Europe has its major accident hazard directives. The United States has its process safety management and risk management rules. India, the Gulf and South East Asia each have their own frameworks, and all of them are tightening as industry grows and as new fuels enter the energy system.
The obligation is universal. The tools available to meet it are not. Advanced consequence modelling has stayed expensive, slow and locked inside a small number of desktop products, so a great many facilities do the minimum the law allows rather than the analysis the risk deserves.
We think that gap between what is required and what is possible is where lives are lost.
Our mission
Make world class consequence modelling universally accessible, at the speed, scale and cost the modern hazard landscape demands, while securing sovereign capability in industrial risk simulation.
What we do
One platform for the whole safety study
The platform brings consequence modelling and quantitative risk assessment together in one place, delivered through a browser.
An engineer sets up the facility once, describes the release, and the platform carries the study through to the report the regulator expects. Fast analysis where a fast answer is enough. High fidelity analysis where the decision deserves it. One environment, one record, one report.
Time
Studies that take weeks on the traditional toolchain are completed in a fraction of the time, so more of the work is analysis and less of it is waiting.
Confidence
Results are traceable, reproducible and backed by evidence a reviewer can inspect.
Access
Delivered through a browser at a cost that puts advanced modelling within reach of organisations that could never justify it before.
Built in India, for the world
An Indian company with an international purpose
AgniKawach is headquartered in New Delhi, with offices in Chennai and Pune. We are building in India because it has one of the fastest-growing hazardous industrial bases in the world, a tightening regulatory environment and — until now — no consequence modelling platform of its own.
But the physics of a jet fire is the same in Jamnagar, Jubail, Rotterdam and Houston. What we are building is designed from the start to serve operators and regulators wherever the hazard is, and to meet the reporting requirements of each jurisdiction.
The hazard is local. The physics is not.
Who is building it
Experience from inside the industry
Our leadership has spent careers inside the fire, explosion and hydrogen safety community: developing safety modelling software, designing and running large-scale fire test campaigns, and validating simulation against experiment.
Around them sits a board and an advisory bench that includes a former Chairman of the State Bank of India, a former Chairman and Managing Director of GAIL India, a former Chairman and Managing Director of ONGC who later chaired India’s petroleum and natural gas regulator, and senior academic leadership from India’s leading technical institutions.
