DESCRIPTION OF SAMPLE STUDIES
Boiler Flame Detection:
A simple flame detection sample utilizing a 3D STL model, point-source fire modeling and the geographic coverage method.
LPG Sphere Flame Detection:
A geographic coverage model for a single LPG storage sphere. This study demonstrates how geometric primitive shapes can be used to construct 3D models inside of Kenexis® Fire & Gas Mapping (formerly Effigy®) for use in fire and gas mapping.
Refinery H2S Gas Scenario Coverage:
An example of how the gas scenario method can be used to model coverage of fixed H2S detection systems for a refinery sulfur recovery unit.
Offshore Wellbay Fire and Gas Mapping:
A complete example of fire and gas mapping for an offshore wellbay. This study demonstrates use of both the geographic and scenario coverage methods for fire and gas detection. Fire coverage calculations are performed using the plume fire method and gas coverage calculations are performed on a volumetric basis. This study used a combination of geometric primitives and multiple 3D CAD files to create the space being mapped.
Airplane Hanger Flame Detection:
Demonstrates how Kenexis® Fire & Gas Mapping (formerly Effigy®) can be utilized in applications outside of chemical processing industry. Performs geographic flame detector coverage for an airplane hanger.
