Flow dynamics modelling is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the prediction and analysis of fluid flow in various systems. Watch a demonstration of several real-world examples predicting a broad scope of process safety problems, ranging from explosion dynamics and pressure relief stability to reaction forces on process and relief piping.
Process Safety Office® SuperChems® software overcomes shortcomings of simple relief design techniques often leading to over-design, and more importantly, sometimes leading to under-design. It is the only platform that integrates consequence and risk analysis, chemical reactivity management, and relief and flare systems evaluation and design.
Design and evaluate your full scope of relief systems — from simple pump systems, up to dynamic reactors with complex loading procedures.
Evaluate the performance of your flare network, and the effect of its design on the functionality of your individual relief devices.
The correct modelling of mixtures is at the core of relief system design for many complex systems. Process Safety Office® SuperChems® offers a suite of tools for these complex mixtures and reactions.

Your software purchase includes complimentary access to six online learning modules from Process Safety Learning® (PSL), our eLearning platform.
Identify the inputs in the basic Specification and External fire sub-menus, how vessel types impact the required inputs, and how to use various options for equipment profiles.
Sites describe the surrounding conditions in an area and should be defined for all models. Spill surfaces describe the ground surrounding the equipment where a spill could occur.
Action and Universal buttons are crucial SuperChems™ components. This module explores their functionality and how they are used for computations.
Ideal for new users, this module introduces the main components of project files and basic functionality of the toolbar, and more.
Implement databanks, apply Binary interaction Parameters (BIPS), use the Define Toolbox tab for mixtures, and create a chemical mixture.
Create a petroleum fraction and identify the SuperChems™ graphing functions needed for chemical mixtures and petroleum fractions.
Watch this video to learn about SuperChems tools you may not be aware of. Working with binary interaction parameters (BIPs) has now been streamlined and made easier. Also shown are several tips for working with the units function to simplify your tasks, such as converting units on the fly, in classic and visual versions. Have questions on data entry? Here are some ways to enhance your productivity. Also discussed are the piping layout tool and visual graph options.
When introduction of mass and energy into the receiver vessel occurs rapidly, heat exchange between the fluid, vessel walls, and the surroundings becomes negligible. This can lead to high fluid temperatures that may cause material of construction problems, and/or cause the decomposition of chemicals or mixtures containing ethylene or other reactive components. SuperChems® is a very useful and reliable dynamic simulation software that can provide insight into compression heating for simple and complex systems with chemical reactions and/or non-ideal behavior.
A large oil refinery with a very complex flare network had become so complex that the tools the refinery was using to evaluate the flows through the flare network could not adequately model the system. The facility had six separate flares, three main headers, and hundreds of relief devices that discharged into the system. As the flare system was modified over the years, multiple cross-connection points were added between the headers in an effort to balance the flow rates through the headers with minimal piping changes.
The client was storing reactive materials in vessels that could be subject to fire exposure. They wanted to be sure that the relief protection on the vessels was correctly sized, or if not, what changes were necessary for an effective relief system.
