Industries We Serve
Any facility that stores or processes a flammable or toxic material in quantity needs consequence modelling
And in most jurisdictions the law requires it.
Who uses AgniKawach
Five kinds of reader, one requirement
Risk and safety consultancies
The engineers who produce most of the world's consequence and risk studies, for whom licence cost caps how much work each engineer can deliver.
Plant operators
Refineries, terminals, chemical plants and distribution networks with a statutory obligation and an existing budget for it.
Engineering and design firms
Consequence modelling drives siting, spacing, blast protection and fire protection specification.
Regulators and emergency planning authorities
Including hazard mapping during an incident, which the traditional toolchain cannot support.
Universities and research institutions
For teaching and research on the platform engineers will meet in industry.
Sectors
Where we work, and what governs the risk there
Jet fire
Oil and gas
Refineries, pipelines, upstream facilities onshore and offshore.
Jet fire
Gas distribution networks
City gas distribution, transmission pipelines and compressed natural gas stations, where the network runs under streets and the risk assessment is required before it is laid.
Vapour cloud explosion
Petrochemicals and chemical parks
Large integrated sites where one release can escalate across a plant, and where congested layouts amplify explosion effects well beyond what simple methods predict.
Dense gas dispersion
Fertilisers and agrochemicals
Anhydrous ammonia storage and handling, which is both toxic and, in a large release, a dense gas.
Cryogenic release
LNG and cryogenic terminals
Import, storage, regasification and transfer, where phase change governs the outcome.
Flash fire
Hydrogen and green ammonia
Electrolysis plants, pipelines, storage and refuelling. Hydrogen behaves unlike the fuels most existing tools were built around, and the world is about to build this infrastructure at scale. The safety case has to be built alongside it.
Pool fire
Ports, terminals and bulk storage
Bulk liquid terminals, tank farms, chemical warehousing and bunkering. Large inventories held close to people, and often close to each other.
Escalation
Power generation and energy storage
Gas and thermal generation, and battery energy storage, where thermal runaway is the concern.
Pool fire
Pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals
Solvent fires, toxic releases and combustible dust.
Flash fire
Semiconductors and electronics
Fabrication plants running silane, hydrogen and toxic specialty gases inside occupied buildings. The inventories are small and the consequences are not.
Toxic dispersion
Food, beverage and cold chain
Anhydrous ammonia refrigeration in cold stores, dairies, breweries and processing plants — one of the most common toxic release scenarios in industry.
Dense gas dispersion
Water and wastewater treatment
Chlorine and sulphur dioxide held at treatment works, usually inside a populated area, where the receptor is the neighbourhood.
Explosion
Mining, metals and cement
Smelter and furnace fuel gas systems, bulk oxygen and ammonia, and combustible dust in handling and milling.
Fireball
Defence and energetic materials
Propellant storage, explosive handling and related facilities. Private deployment is available where it is required.
Toxic dispersion
Nuclear facilities
Conventional chemical hazards on nuclear sites, including chlorine, ammonia and hydrogen handling.
The frameworks we build for
The same questions, asked differently in each jurisdiction
Consequence modelling requirements differ in detail across the world but ask the same questions. AgniKawach is designed to produce output that fits the framework in front of you.
- Europe
- Seveso and COMAH major accident hazard requirements.
- United States
- OSHA process safety management and EPA risk management planning.
- India
- PNGRB quantitative risk assessment and emergency response requirements, PESO major hazard installation requirements, OISD standards, and national disaster management requirements.
- Gulf, Asia Pacific and elsewhere
- National major hazard frameworks, and the international standards commonly applied alongside them.
Where a jurisdiction has its own reporting format, our aim is to support it directly rather than leave the engineer to reformat by hand.
