An existing plant that traditionally manufactured water-based products containing very minor quantities of flammable materials was being repurposed to manufacture a hand sanitiser that contains a significant proportion of (highly flammable) alcohol.
This product was to be brought online rapidly, to meet the urgent international requirements due to the 2020 Covid-19 crisis.
The use of FLACS-CFD, combined with Gexcon’s experience and engineering judgment, permitted the client to clearly demonstrate that the proposed approach of using dilution ventilation combined with training and strict operating procedures would allow the product to be manufactured safely.
What you will learn
In this case study, you will learn:
- Dilution ventilation can be used as a basis of safety based on vapour dispersion modelling with a CFD tool
- The required ventilation rates can be obtained through the modelling results
- Safety can be further guaranteed through the BowTies study by determining additional required measures
