Is Your Facility Compliant? A Guide to Seveso / COMAH Regulations and Land Use Planning
Understand if your site falls under Seveso / COMAH and know the key steps to compliance, including land use planning considerations.
LNG facility siting: the benefits of using advanced modelling tools in your study
Advanced modelling tools like FLACS offer a more accurate, site-specific approach to LNG facility siting by accounting for factors like terrain, wind, and congestion. Compared to generic models or prescriptive distances, CFD-based studies support better-informed safety decisions, regulatory compliance, and cost-effective facility design.
