Petrochemicals & Chemicals Safety Software Solutions | Gexcon AS

Protecting people, the environment and assets for the petrochemical and chemical sector

With issues around sustainability and decarbonisation dominating the petrochemical and chemical industries, managing risks within safety limits set by national and international regulations continues to be of paramount importance.

Gexcon can support the implementation of safe and error tolerant large-scale industrial processes as the transition to a circular economy gathers pace.

Our advanced engineering software solutions can mitigate risks from hazardous materials across the supply chain from production and manufacture to transportation and storage.

As processes typically involve high temperatures, high pressures and reactions, our software tools can support facility operators and engineers to deliver strategies against toxic risks.

Accurate near-field modelling can be used to improve ventilation in enclosed and open areas as well as improve detection times from leaks.

Our software also means the safe realisation of projects and avoids costly, over designed systems, excessive installation and maintenance.
