Determine the extent of facility consequence magnitudes with precision. By seamlessly combining source term models and hazard models, Kenexis^® Consequence Modeling allows process safety professionals to accurately map the footprint of toxic gas clouds, flammable gas clouds, thermal radiation effects, and explosion overpressure (blast waves).

Powered by CANARY by Quest™

Kenexis^® Consequence Modeling leverages an industry-leading software engine to deliver robust thermodynamic calculations and fluid release simulations, allowing you to enter and run complex cases in a matter of minutes.

Core Capabilities

Advanced Multicomponent Thermodynamics
Build custom mixtures that reflect your real-world processes. Our engine supports mixtures of up to 10 components, drawn from an extensive built-in database of over 250 components.  Kenexis^® Consequence Modeling effortlessly handles complex materials, including:

• Liquefied gases
• Light hydrocarbons
• Heavy hydrocarbons and aromatics
• Toxics
• Refrigerants

Dynamic Fluid Release Simulation
Integrate multicomponent thermodynamics directly into time-varying fluid release simulations. Kenexis^® Consequence Modeling accounts for complex physical behaviors, including:

• Two-phase flow and flash vaporization
• Aerosol formation and liquid rainout
• Vaporization from liquid pools (factoring in pool spreading, heat transfer effects, and impoundment)

Comprehensive Consequence Models
The data generated by our fluid release simulations forms the foundation for highly accurate hazard models. Kenexis^® Consequence Modeling includes dedicated models for:

• Vapor cloud dispersion

• Jet fires and Pool fires

• BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions)

• Vapor cloud explosions

Customizable Hazard Endpoints
Define the exact hazard thresholds your study requires. Users can easily set endpoints for Gas Concentration, Radiant Flux, and Overpressure.
