Offshore platform in Iran

Effects of accidental explosions

Principia has often simulated the effects of impacts, deflagrations, and detonations on different structures.

In this particular project, we simulated a whole series of postulated explosions in an offshore platform of the South Pars field in Iran to determine the overpressures generated at each point of the facility.

The objective pursued was to verify the isolation of the various modules of the platform, and to assess the survivability of specific equipment, in the course of the postulated accidents.
