Description
This course provides an introduction to the concepts and models within Leak, DNV’s leak frequency database application based on the UK HSE Hydrocarbon release database. All the key aspects of setting up a frequency analysis project in Leak are covered in the course. Some of the topics included are:

• Selecting the calculation basis (hole size or release rate)
• Adding equipment items
• Determining base elements
• Defining
• Defining output categories.

During the course, students will be required to practise and apply their new knowledge of the software through a hands-on workshop.

Learning objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand and be able to use the theoretical and practical aspects of Leak. Participants will learn how to assess leak frequencies for process plants using the data and analysis tools with Leak.

Target group:
People who need to calculate leak frequencies for releases of hazardous material on process plants. Participants are likely to be from regulatory authorities, insurance industry, engineering contractors and consultants.
