Gas Dispersion and Accumulation Studies
An accidental release of flammable gas into an enclosure or into the atmosphere can present a potential fire or explosion hazard. Studies of gas dispersion and accumulation can help to specify preventive measures or hazard ranges which will either prevent gas accumulation to flammable levels or ensure protection of personnel from the consequences. Spadeadam has extensive facilities enabling the controlled release of pressurised gas (or volatile liquids, such as LNG) into the atmosphere or into enclosures. The resulting gas cloud accumulation can be measured to determine concentration levels.
Enclosures can be constructed to suit customers' requirements and during the experiments gas concentration levels can be determined with time providing information on the gas build up process. Where required, mechanical or forced ventilation can be provided.
