    Phast Model Enquiries!

    - Phast is a consequence modeling tool that assumes ignition everywhere and models all possible effects in parallel, rather than calculating likelihood. It is up to the analyst to evaluate which effects are most credible based on each case. - Additional materials can be added to Phast's default list, but the user must provide any missing property data needed to model the new material. It is a judgment call whether to include all mixture components, but generally just the most representative ones are needed. - The main components in a mixture can be assumed to be conservative for modeling in Phast, even if some minor components are not displayed.

    Adding material from DIPPR database in Phast 7.pdf

    Vicard,
    Thank you for contacting DNV GL Software Support.
    1. Phast is a pure consequence modeling tool so it does not calculate the likelihood of the
    consequences. It simply gives all the possible effects, and each of them are modeled in
    parallel. For fires and explosions, it assumes the ignition is everywhere as the probability of
    ignition is not modeled. The user, as the analyst, has to evaluation which effects are more
    possible, for example, if there is any immediate ignition to cause jet fire, if there is any
    possibility for a delayed ignition in the path of the flammable dispersion cloud to cause a flash
    fire, or a possible explosion if there is congestion. Therefore, this is really a question to the
    analyst to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
    2. You may add new components to the default materials list, and I have attached a document
    on the topic. Note the new materials you added this way may not contain all needed property
    data, and you will need to fill in all the missing data to be able to model it in the software, as
    DNV GL has already provided all data we have and we are not able to assist on finding missing
    information. Whether to include all components is also a judgement call, but the general rule
    here for the mixture is to make it simple by just keeping the most representative components,
    and I would perhaps just exclude them if their presence in the mixture is negligible.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    for DNV GL USA, Inc.

    Subject: Case 254563: Phast Model Enquiries!
    Importance: High
    Good-day,
    Hope you are doing well. My main aim was to obtain pool fire scenarios for different vessel volumes.
    However, as I conducted my different scenarios for different vessels for pool fire, I saw that the other
    cases such as ‘Explosion, Jet Fire, and Flash Fires” were also displayed in the result. Therefore:
    1. Does the result indicate that other consequences are likely? If so, how do you determine which is
    most credible?
    2. Secondly, I understand that Phast does not display all component for Materials, however, can it be
    assumed that the main components are conservative for modelling? For example, in my mixture –
    there should have been components such as i-pentane, 2,2-dimethylpropane, etc.
    Kind regards,
    —
