X-Suite applications
Learn how X-Suite is applied to manage safety challenges, optimise processes, and ensure compliance in high-risk industries.
Predict and manage toxic gas hazards
Approach
Model toxic gas releases and predict potential exposure zones using integral consequence modelling (EFFECTS), simulate worst-case outcomes with CFD (FLACS), and quantify the Societal and Individual Risk criteria (RISKCURVES).
Result
Enable informed safety investment decisions, support regulatory compliance, and protect workforce and the community.
Optimise facility siting and design for hydrogen infrastructure
Approach
Assess hydrogen dispersion risks (EFFECTS), simulate explosion overpressure scenarios for facility layouts (FLACS), and generate risk contours for land use planning (RISKCURVES).
Result
Support safe implementation of hydrogen systems, reduce project delays, and align with evolving safety regulations.
Prioritise safety investments to optimise costs
Approach
Combine CFD insights (FLACS) on fire and explosion impacts with risk evaluation (RISKCURVES) to prioritise mitigation measures and evaluate emergency response plans.
Result
Reduce insurance costs, optimise safety investments, and maintain high stakeholder confidence.
Plan safer battery energy storage installations that meet ALARP standards
Approach
Model toxic dispersion from thermal runaway (EFFECTS), evaluate explosion risks (FLACS), and assess various risk criteria to evaluate risk levels (RISKCURVES).
Result
Meet regulatory demands for battery safety, achieve ALARP, and ensure operational uptime.
Ensure compliance while entering new markets
Approach
Use the suite to model ammonia or hydrogen releases, meet international standards, and ensure compliance with risk thresholds for new plant designs.
Result
Secure permits faster, minimise legal exposure, and position the company as a leader in safe and sustainable operations.
The X-Suite tools
The X-Suite combines the power of FLACS, EFFECTS, and RISKCURVES into a unified solution for safety and risk management.
Each tool addresses specific aspects of consequence and risk analysis while seamlessly integrating into a comprehensive workflow. Together, they empower safety professionals to make faster, smarter decisions that protect people, assets, and the environment.
