SuperChemsTM Overview                  Product Information

Click to enlargeSuperChemsTM is the only fully integrated software application for quantitative risk analysis (QRA) that contains a fully validated set of models and tools to proceed seamlessly through the analysis from the source term to the final risk results. This advanced tool will display consequence and risk results overlaid on GPS maps of the facility under review. SuperChemsTM provides a huge improvement in the efficiency of conducting QRAs as well as superior presentation of results.

This versatile application is also the industry gold standard for design and evaluation of emergency relief systems, including vent headers and flares, and thermal hazards assessment of reactive chemicals. Its rigorous modeling capabilities enable companies to conduct detailed consequence and risk analysis in order to make technically sound risk based decisions.

As an equation-of-state-based program, SuperChemsTM provides several benefits over existing non-equation-of-state-based methods for systems involving:

  • Reactions with supercritical components
  • Solution effects
  • A priori determination of phase splitting

    SuperChemsTM is available in two editions: for DIERS and Expert. Its powerful engine has a proven record of handling numerous complex and unconventional systems that are not readily provided by other tools.

    SuperChemsTM for DIERS edition is particularly designed for the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) user group within the AIChE. Implementing DIERS two-phase technology and being empowered by SuperChemsTM solid engine, SuperChemsTM for DIERS is currently adopted as an industry standard tool for handling complex reactions systems and designing practical relief systems.

    The SuperChemsTM Expert edition is the most advanced tool of the entire SuperChemsTM suite. It provides additional capabilities that are not readily available in any other relief design and consequence- analysis packages. Besides all capabilities available in the Professional and DIERS editions, the Expert edition is loaded with many advanced dynamic simulation, reaction kinetics, and vapor-liquid equilibrium options. The QRA module was the major addition to SuperChemsTM. Users now have a full-blown QRA engine to define population; analyze failure frequencies; assess dependent failures; generate iso-risk contours; construct F-N curves; and perform consequence modeling, all within a central application. All consequence models are linked directly to user defined site map with enhanced graphics, contours and plots.

    SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    SuperChemsTM runs on any Windows-compatible machine running Click to enlargeWindows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. It requires about 64 MB of hard-drive space.
    SuperChemsTM does intensive calculations and thus requires a machine with a clock speed of 500 MHz. We, however, recommend a machine with a clock speed of at least 1 GHz.
    SuperChemsTM has been developed in conjunction with ioMosaic’s full range of Safety and Risk Management services. We are committed to helping our clients achieve maximum operational effectiveness, profit protection, and business value through innovative and technically rigorous approaches to process safety design.
