Knowing how far a release travels, how hot a fire burns and how far an explosion's overpressure reaches is what makes layout, siting and emergency planning decisions defensible. Cerasus models the physical consequences of loss-of-containment events for the plants in Qatar's climate and terrain.
Consequence analysis models the source term (release rate and phase), dispersion (toxic and flammable clouds), fires (jet, pool, flash, fireball/BLEVE) and explosions (vapour-cloud overpressure), and maps the results as hazard footprints at defined thresholds — for example 4.7 kW/m² thermal radiation or 0.07 bar overpressure.
Results feed facility siting, occupied-building assessments, hazardous-area classification checks, flare radiation checks, emergency response plans and QRA.
Continuous and instantaneous releases; dense and buoyant gas dispersion for site-specific weather classes.
Jet, pool and flash fires; BLEVE / fireball; thermal radiation contours.
Vapour-cloud explosion overpressure (TNT, TNO Multi-Energy, BST).
API RP 752/753/756 assessments for control rooms, workshops and portable buildings.
API 521 radiation and dispersion checks for flare and cold-vent design.
Hazard footprints and escape-route checks for ERP and muster-point review.
Select representative loss-of-containment cases from PHA and hole-size rules.
Source term, dispersion, fire and explosion for site weather and terrain.
Plot contours on plot plan; identify impacted buildings and equipment.
Siting, layout, protection and ERP recommendations with priorities.
