Achievements

Biofuel demonstration plant

British Columbia, Canada

Project description

As part of the development of an emerging biofuel technology for a new hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) facility, a consequence model and quantitative risk assessment (QRA) were conducted to confirm the safety of the proposed site and determine its risk profile.

Total project cost

S/O

GCM Mandate

Conduct a consequence analysis and quantitative risk assessment for the HTL facility.

Deliverables

  • 2885 simulated cases
  • Safeti® software (Phast-Risk) with 3D explosion module
  • Individual and societal risk contours: FN curve (frequency and number of deaths)
  • Improved sensitivity analysis and modeling for the top ten risk factors and adapted mitigation strategies
