Description
This course is an introduction to the concepts and models within Phast.
It will cover all areas of consequence modelling within the software, including discharge, dispersion, pool formation and evaporation, fires, explosions and toxic effects. During the course, students will be required to practice and apply their new knowledge of the software through extensive hands-on workshops.
Learning objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand and be able to use the theoretical and practical aspects of Phast. They will be able to create a range of scenarios from scratch, modelling the effects of releases of hazardous material from initial discharge, through dispersion to final flammable and toxic effects. They will also be able to review and understand results and view these in tabular and graphical form and on maps in order to assess the effects of hazardous events and mitigate their consequences.
Target group
Those who need to carry out consequence modelling calculations in the process industries including regulators and legislators, insurance companies, engineering contractors and consultants, or those who need to understand the output of a consequence model built in Phast.
| Prerequisite The course is suitable for new users and for those more experienced users who have not attended a formal training course or would like a refresher course. A basic understanding of hazard analysis and the concept of consequence modelling is required, as is some experience of the process industry. |
