Solution: Dispersion Modelling

Country: Canada

In order to determine the dispersion characteristics for venting H2S gas from the flare on a well site United Safety developed a dispersion model and analyzed results based on the tolerability criteria for the gases released. The end result was a clear understanding of the gas released and its potential impact.

Challenge:

To determine the dispersion characteristics for venting H2S gas from the are on a well site.

Solution:

Developed a dispersion model simulating effects under ‘worst case’ atmospheric conditions.

Result:

A clear understanding of the dispersion characteristics of the released gas and its potential impact.
