Hydrogen Plants

Hydrogen's wide flammability range and low ignition energy demand specialised consequence modelling.

Green and grey hydrogen production and storage facilities with unique flammability and embrittlement hazards.

Key Challenges

●Wide flammability range and low minimum ignition energy of hydrogen
●High-pressure storage and embrittlement-related integrity concerns
●Vapour cloud explosion modelling specific to hydrogen's buoyancy and diffusivity
●Emerging regulatory frameworks for green hydrogen facility siting

Early-stage hazard identification study performed at concept or pre-FEED stage to flag major hazards before detailed design.

Full quantitative risk assessment including dispersion, fire and explosion modelling, individual and societal risk contours.

Quantified fire and explosion risk assessment for offshore and onshore facilities handling flammable inventories.

Dispersion, fire, explosion and toxic release modelling using validated software to quantify physical effect zones.
