Free FM-VIEWER for Firefighting Simulation Program was released on November 15 2021.

In addition to this, we provide demo movies showing actual use of FM-VIEWER for further your understand on our simulation programs.

The movies of the following four programs have been prepared. Click here to watch the movies.

• Heat radiation simulation
• foam monitor mapping software (Trajectory simulation)
• Water monitor mapping software (Trajectory simulation)
• Tank fire extinguishing simulation

Simulation results by these programs are used for firefighting simulation for customers’ own plant layout, simulation training tools for firefighting activities in various situations such as changes in wind direction and speed etc.

Please watch the movies at first so that you can easily understand the contents of our program and functions, operability and expressiveness of FM-VIEWER.
Also, you can imagine what you can do by FM-VEWER and will find the value of them. 

Free FM-VIEWER for Firefighting Simulation Program consisting of “Heat Radiation Simulation” and “Water/Foam Monitor Mapping Software (Trajectory simulation)” is released in November 15,2021 so that you can experience what firefighting simulation results against plant fires look like more closely.

1. The feature of FM-VIEWER

Various situations can be simulated by changing the following simulation conditions.
In addition, the improvement of operability with control panels and smooth operation on screen by display of operation instructions are realized.

(1) Possible changes in simulation conditions (main ones)

- Atmospheric conditions (wind direction, wind velocity)
- Foam and water discharge nozzle directions
- Spray angle of water discharge nozzle
- Height of heat receiving surface
- Heat flux levels to be shown on contour maps etc.

(2) Provision of the control panel

- Improvement of operability by button operation
- Display of operation instructions (Hover over buttons etc.)

2. Simulation based on customer’s plant layout

Please contact us, if you would like to simulate based on your plant layout and fuels with extra cost.

For simulations for allocation of the firefighting equipment by us, the following data and conditions are required.

(1) Datasheet and characteristic curves of firefighting equipment owned by you
(2) Data of the fuels handling in your premises
(3) Tank datasheet
(4) Plant layout drawing (.dwg)
(5) Tanks on fire, fire pools of fuel spillage
(6) Atmospheric conditions (wind, temperature, humidity etc.)

Based on these data and conditions, we will simulate to decide the suitable locations of foam/water monitors, large-capacity foam monitors, fire trucks etc., and then we will provide simulation results as electronic data.

It is possible to simulate under the conditions described in the above item 1 with FM-VIEWER by yourself.

Please note that it is limited to change simulation conditions other than the ones described in the above item 1.
Especially it shall be noted that fuel oil data, discharge characteristics and allocation of firefighting equipment cannot be changed by FM-VIEWER.

If you would like to consider changing these conditions, please contact us.
We will provide renewed simulation results after re-examination with extra cost.

3. End of sales for FIRE MARSHAL

After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the sales of the simulation software (Product name: FIRE MARSHAL) and to provide FM-VIEWER.

First of all, please explore FM-VIEWER with Sample Simulation Results and enjoy various situations.

FPEC performs simulation for disasters not only outdoor but also inside of the building. such as explosion, fire spread, smoke generation and dispersion, leakage and gas dispersion.

FPEC has deep knowledge and abundant experience about petrochemical plant disasters and fire prevention systems, which allow us accurately understanding on what a customer is requesting us and reflecting them in the numerical analysis model. We will discuss with a customer with technical terms commonly used in petrochemical plants, not only with technical terms specific to numerical analysis.

In addition to the standard output such as movies and gradation maps like below figure-1, we also submit in a contour map as below figure-2 , that makes it easy to use the simulation results.
Our proposed concentration map is created by AutoCAD, based on the calculation results obtained by numerical analysis. 

Each color shows a range above a certain level of the concentration and is very clear, so we think it is very effective in use. 

We, FPEC can carry out disaster simulation in series on the sequence from the initial events, such as leakage and evaporation to gas diffusion, fire and explosion, and can evaluate the Severity of each disaster.
The following is the sample list of the evaluation item per each step of disaster scenario.

Also for VCE (Vapour Cloud Explosion), we can evaluate the Severity of pressure wave based on the scenario.
We also can conduct QRA to extract disaster scenario of high risks, and according to the scenario, we will carry out the evaluation of its Severity.

Our Dispersion Simulation Program is capable of simulating the dispersion of gas which may have a harmful effect to human body.

We recently added a new function of radioactive material dispersion to our program.
This program has been recognized and used by Kanagawa Prefectural Government from 2015.
