HazRes has developed a gas discharge and dispersion model in COMSOL which takes into account the effects of localized wind profiles and turbulence generated by buildings, structures and terrain on the dispersion of gases in question. The main focus of this work is to develop and provide clients with more accurate prediction methods relative to industrial standard software tools in modeling potential Major Accidental Hazards (MAH), gas discharge and dispersion events in order understand the risks to people and assets both onsite and offsite. This research would be of particular interest to organizations that have to conform to the Control Of Major Accidental Hazards (COMAH) Directive in the UK and Seveso II Directive in Europe.
