Fire and gas detection mapping helps facilities detect releases early to prevent potential escalation. Utilizing the extensive industry and operations experience of our staff, combined with our proprietary software tools for calculating hazard consequences and personnel risk, we create optimal, defensible detector layouts for fire and gas detectors to keep your people and assets safer.
What we offer
We employ our robust consequence-based and risk-based facility siting study (FSS) methodologies, along with our cutting-edge proprietary software suite — SafeSite3G© for hazard consequences, QRATool© for risk assessment, and F>ool© for detector location and coverage — to create optimal, defensible layouts for fire and gas detector placement.
We also perform CFD-based gas detection system studies for buildings, containers, or other enclosures (including those for electrolyzer and BESS systems). BakerRisk has performed a series of internal tests to determine the impact of wind and obstructions on detector capabilities. Internal test findings are incorporated into our models.
Safety is our #1 goal, which is why we employ knowledgeable experts like Murtaza Gandhi, who is part of the ISA TR84.00.07 working group and the principal member of NFPA 715. Our studies additionally meet vital industry standards, such as:
Our coverage strategy
Utilizing quantitative risk assessment strategies and computational fluid dynamic analyses, BakerRisk conducts these studies to assess the effectiveness of existing fire & gas detector systems, identify potential gaps, and guide strategic fire and gas detector placement.
By integrating data from consequence and risk-based FSS studies into our F>ool© model and utilizing expertise from ISA’s latest performance-based fire and gas technical report (ISA TR84.00.07-2018), our team at BakerRisk’s reports are more detailed and can help clients make better safety decisions, as well as enhance strategies for release detection in processing units, enclosed structures, and more. The F>ool© offers several key benefits for clients, including:

Latest Resources
Test programs, such as those discussed above, have provided significant validation of the current methodologies used to analyze hydrogen hazards. Despite the enormous amount of work done by BakerRisk, the ERC, and others to understand the hazards associated with hydrogen, there is still more work to be done.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
HAZOP is an OSHA-recognized Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) methodology that identifies deviations and hazards in complex industrial processes found in high-risk sectors such as Chemical, Petrochemical, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, and more.
