EPCON CHEMPRO is a premier process safety and risk analysis software platform. It provides an integrated set of tools for quantifying process risk, evaluating the consequences of chemical releases, designing safety systems, and ensuring compliance with industrial safety regulations (OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, SEVESO III). The software enables engineers to model fire, explosion, and toxic dispersion scenarios to protect personnel, facilities, and the surrounding community.
Primary Users
EPCON CHEMPRO 9.2.1.25173 is a specialized engineering software suite designed for Process Safety Engineers, Risk Analysis Specialists, Loss Prevention Engineers, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Managers, Plant Operations Managers, and Regulatory Compliance Officers in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries.
Key Features & Capabilities
Consequence Analysis & Modeling: Advanced physics-based models for simulating flammable gas dispersion, pool fire (jet, pool), BLEVE/fireball, vapor cloud explosion (VCE), and toxic gas release scenarios.
Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA): Integrated framework for calculating Individual Risk (IRPA), Societal Risk (F-N curves), and Potential Loss of Life (PLL) based on event frequency data and consequence modeling.
Safety System Design & Evaluation: Modules for designing and evaluating pressure relief systems, flare headers (FLARENET), blast resistant structures, and gas detection systems.
Source Term Modeling: Calculates release rates for liquids, gases, and two-phase flows from pipes, vessels, and relief devices under various failure scenarios.
Comprehensive Chemical Database: Built-in database with critical chemical properties (toxicity, flammability, reactivity) for thousands of substances required for accurate scenario modeling.
Mapping & Geographic Integration: GIS-like functionality to plot impact zones (thermal radiation, overpressure, toxic concentration) on site maps and plot plans, visualizing risk contours.
What’s New in Version 9.2.1.25173
This service release focuses on enhanced modeling accuracy, regulatory updates, and user workflow efficiency.
Updated Dispersion & Explosion Models: Incorporates latest research and empirical data into the DEGADIS (dense gas dispersion) and TNO Multi-Energy (vapor cloud explosion) models for improved predictive accuracy.
Enhanced Regulatory Reporting: Updated templates and calculators for compliance with the latest amendments to EPA Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule and OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements.
Improved 3D Visualization: Upgraded tools for visualizing release plumes, explosion overpressure waves, and fire radiation effects in a 3D plant environment for more intuitive communication of risks.
Streamlined Data Import/Export: Better integration with process simulation data (from SiNET) and CAD plant layouts for faster model setup.
Performance Optimization: Faster calculation speeds for large, complex sites with multiple concurrent release scenarios
