The Platform

The engineer makes the decisions. The platform carries the work between them.

Consequence modelling has always been the slow, expensive part of a safety study. Geometry is rebuilt for every tool. Results are carried by hand from one program to the next. The report is assembled at the end. The physics may be sound, but the process is long, and every manual step is a place where an error can enter.

AgniKawach was built to remove that friction.

What you can study

A single loss of containment can develop in several directions at once

Which way it develops depends on whether the release finds an ignition source, and when. AgniKawach covers the full set.

Loss of containment

One event. Everything to the right is a way the same release can develop, and a safety case has to consider all of them.

  • Immediate ignition

    The release burns where it escapes.

    • Jet fire

      Ignited pressurised release

    • Pool fire

      Burning liquid spill

  • Delayed ignition

    A cloud forms first, then finds a source. What the cloud is sitting in decides which of the two you get.

    • Vapour cloud explosion

      Blast overpressure in congested plant

    • Flash fire

      Transient vapour cloud burn

  • No ignition

    The cloud disperses. For a toxic material this is the governing case, not the mild one.

    • Gas dispersion

      Flammable and toxic clouds, including dense gas behaviour

    • Cryogenic release

      LNG, hydrogen and other cryogens, where phase change governs the spread

And then it starts again

A fire that reaches another vessel is a new loss of containment. This is where a single failure becomes a plant-wide event, and it is the part simple methods leave out.

  • BLEVE and fireball

    Vessel failure under fire

  • Structural escalation

    Effects on adjacent equipment

Hazard diagrams are schematic representations of each outcome type, not simulation results.

All of them from one description of the facility and one description of the release, with the risk assessment following from the results rather than being assembled separately.

Levels of analysis

Two levels of analysis, one platform

Not every question deserves the same answer. Screening a hundred possible releases across a plant is a different task from producing the detailed case for the one that governs the risk.

AgniKawach provides both in the same place. Fast analysis for screening and for the frequency work that a quantitative risk assessment needs. High fidelity computational fluid dynamics for the cases that carry the decision. The engineer moves between them without rebuilding anything.

Delivered through a browser

There is nothing to install and nothing to maintain. Computing capacity scales with the work rather than sitting idle between studies. Teams share a project rather than passing files. Improvements reach every user at once.

Data is held with isolation between clients, encrypted in transit and at rest, and with residency in the region the customer requires.

Reports in the format your regulator expects

A safety study is only finished when it is accepted. AgniKawach produces the reporting output that the relevant framework requires, with the record of what was run carried inside it, so a reviewer can establish exactly what produced a given result.

Our approach

What we decided to build differently

  • Built for modern computing

    The platform is designed from the start for graphics processor computing and adaptive meshing, rather than adapted to it. That is what makes high fidelity analysis practical inside a working week rather than a working month.

  • Physics that reflects the real site

    Weather, terrain and plant congestion all change where a hazard goes. The platform is built to account for real site conditions rather than generic averages.

  • Evidence, not assertion

    Every capability is validated against experiment before it is released, and the evidence is published.

    Quality and Validation

  • Assistance where it belongs

    We use machine assistance to speed up setting up a study and drafting a report. The physics remains the physics.
