FLACS version 9 released on Linux and Windows
We are glad to inform you that the day has come when GexCon is ready to release FLACS v9, the first version of FLACS on both Windows and Linux. Except for missing utility programs on Windows (which will be added within a few weeks), the two versions should be identical. Both versions have been extensively tested at GexCon, and test users are very satisfied with the improvements.
FLACS v9 has been tested on the following platforms:
FLACS在十個國際石油和天然氣公司的全面合作、支持和指導及資助下完成開發(BP, Conoco, Elf, Exxon, Gasunie, Gaz de France, Mobil, Norsk Hydro, Phillips, Statoi)l和三個立法機構，Health & Safety Executive, Norwegian Petroleum Directorate和BMFT (德國)。他們意識到需要有一個工具，能夠讓他們在設計加工區域和海上平台時，將氣體爆炸之風險降至最低。氣體安全計劃籌劃指導委員會，經過16年的開發研究以確保模擬程序符合實際需求。
FLACS程序已經用於世界超過300個平台、加工區域的設計及爆炸風險控制。在North Sea, BP, Mobil, Norsk Hydro和Statoil等地區，使用這套軟件來設計新平台並評估已有的裝置。FLACS已應用於Piper Alpha和 West Vanguard海上事故的公共調查，及評估荷蘭Beek陸上加工廠蒸汽雲團爆炸事故的模擬分析。
