Mathematical modeling and simulation are valuable tools for the quantitative safety investigation of chemical processes and for training the plant personnel to deal with hazardous situations. However, the wide dissemination of such methods is limited by comparatively high development costs. The simulation system described in this paper incorporates all the required knowledge that makes the simulation technique available to a broad spectrum of users. The program also provides an easy‐to‐use man/machine interface for engineers and chemists enabling them to carry out complex simulations after a short period of learning.
