  • Course Summary

    This course is the online version of the EFFECTS training. As a public virtual class, it is open to participants from different organisations, not limited to company-specific groups.

    This course is aimed at introducing the principles of consequence modelling and EFFECTS user interface and giving an overview of all the models available within the software: release, pool evaporation, fire, explosion, dispersion, damage, and combined models. The course provides a general theoretical background that is consolidated with multiple practical exercises that will be elaborated during the course. Participants are required to practice and apply their new knowledge of the software through hands-on exercises.

  • Course Objectives

      • Ensure a good understanding of the feature of EFFECTS (models, scenarios, etc.).
      • Explain the workflow in using EFFECTS.
      • Introduce various functionality of EFFECTS.
      • Ensure the attendees are capable to use EFFECTS in their projects.

  • Target Group

    This course is intended for people who carry out consequence modelling with EFFECTS, as well as those who work closely with colleagues using this software.

    It is particularly relevant for:

    • Safety engineers and consultants in risk consultancy companies
    • Engineers working in process facilities such as oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, utilities, energy transition facilities (e.g. hydrogen, ammonia, BESS, CCUS), manufacturing, and more
    • Professionals from regulatory bodies
    • Employees of engineering companies
    • Students seeking knowledge of EFFECTS

  • Prerequisites

    The course is suitable for new users and for more experienced users who have not attended a formal training course or would like a refresher course.

    • You will use your own PC and own license
    • If you do not have a license we will provide a temporary cloud license for the training, the license will be soft-key protected and stand-alone
    • It is recommended that EFFECTS is installed by a user with administration privileges
    • We will use Microsoft Teams
    • A webcam and headphone is recommended
    • Your internet connection should be stable and the bandwidth should be enough to be able to have video conferences

  • Organisational Benefits

    In addition to the professional skill development of staff, the organisation will have the capability to fully utilise this comprehensive consequence modelling tool. The EFFECTS tool will assist in carrying out safety-related studies effectively and accurately, including:

    • Process hazard analysis (HAZID, HAZOP, etc.)
    • Regulatory compliance (ATEX/ DSEAR, LPG Compliance Audits, etc.)
    • Modelling studies (explosion, dispersion, ventilation, and fire and smoke modelling studies, gas detector layout optimisation, etc.)

  • Attendees Professional Benefits

    Attendees will be able to use EFFECTS for process safety-related projects, which includes:

    • Development of new skills and knowledge
    • Development of competency to carry out various process safety-related studies
    • Ability to come up with recommendation on safety-related studies
    • Ability to practice risk planning and mitigation
