Gas Dispersion Analysis

We provide efficient and precise results to help guarantee the safety of employees and mitigate the risks of catastrophes and accidents, avoiding the leakage of indoor and outdoor gases.

Service Application

We assess the behavior of toxic and flammable gas plumes with the aim of instilling mitigating measures to help protect residential sectors from possible pollution. We help to avoid fines and assessments from environmental agencies and improve the company's image before the population. We calculate and position gas detectors to protect the environment and workers from possible leakage, accidents, and losses.

CASE STUDY

Gas Dispersion


Problem

Client needed to protect an area with gas sensors but was unsure of where to place the detectors.

Solution

DPR proposed a Gas Dispersion Study to understand how the gas plume would behave if a leak occurred in the area. DPR created a 3D geometric version of the area and simulated the occurrence of small leaks in different locations and under varying wind conditions in order to produce the gas plume.

Result

The plumes were simulated and their volumes were calculated. An optimization algorithm was adopted to find the minimum number of sensors to guarantee 100% coverage protection.
