Shell FRED | Fire, Release, Explosion and Dispersion Simulation Software

Unique value proposition (UVP)

Shell FRED is a fire, release, explosion and dispersion consequence modelling tool developed by Shell and available exclusively through Gexcon. The software has been developed to provide accurate results and actionable outputs. Key benefits - Create infinite mixtures, and accurately model their behaviour - Trustworthy with over 40 years of validation - User-friendly interface–short learning curve - Present your results clearly Use Shell FRED across various industries, such as LNG, petrochemicals, hydrogen, carbon capture, ammonia, etc. The software can be used to analyse release consequences in a wide range of facilities, such as production, storage, transporting vehicle, or distribution terminal. It is applicable throughout the design, construction, operation, and modification phases.

Key Benefits

  • Shell FRED's 40 years of validation ensures reliable risk assessment, enhancing safety compliance across industries like LNG and hydrogen.
  • The tool's capability to model infinite mixtures allows for precise consequence analysis, reducing operational risks in facilities from production to distribution.
  • Its user-friendly interface minimizes training time, enabling faster implementation and decision-making during design and operational phases.
