ACE provides dispersion analysis services, using a 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) analysis engine, to address industrial
releases at locations such as petrochemical facilities, offshore gas and oil rigs, and LNG floating storage and regassification units.
ACE has the capability to analyze buoyancy effects, density change(evaporation), and heat transfer. Our CFD dispersion model uses an exact
representation of the facility layout and local environmental factors to model your specific release scenario. The chemical dispersion
models are time-based and include obstacle/flow interaction. Producing a complete time-history of your dispersion event.

Our staff can formulate probable release scenarios and determine resulting concentration levels of interest. These may include
toxicity and flammability levels. In the event the dispersion is flammable and travels into a congested area, the resulting information can be
easily imported into our 3-D CFD explosive software, CEBAM. This seemless integration will provide you with high end results without the need to
construct both dispersion and explosion models.
