GexCon's investigation with Total helped determine the mechanisms causing the severe Buncefield explosion. Findings were presented at Mary Kay O'Connor Symposium October 2009.
In March 2009 NFPA published a Model Evaluation Protocol (MEP) for LNG consequence modeling. FLACS is probably the first CFD-tool to complete the MEP.
For more than 20 years GexCon has provided expert consulting services to help industries prevent or mitigate accidents. Using the FLACS CFD-simulator the governing physics for ventilation, dispersion and explosions can be modeled.
GexCon US can assist clients in determining the cause of fires, explosions, carbon monoxide and other accidents. Extensive investigation experience along with a core competency using the CFD-tool FLACS is a powerful combination.
GexCon can help clients evaluate safety issues when introducing alternative fuels or new environmentally friendly technology.
The next FLACS-I training course will be held in Bethesda 8-10 February, 2010.
GexCon paper on 2006 Danvers explosion findings soon to be published in Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industry.
Engineer is appointed member of the NFPA Committee on Carbon Monoxide Detection
Five scientific publications utilizing FLACS to be published in 2009
