Full situational awareness is critical when responding to unanticipated chemical releases at an industrial worksite or accident. You need up-to-date information to quickly protect workers on site, emergency responders, and if needed, residents of surrounding communities. Real-time plume modeling—gathered directly from data in the field—can help you make better, faster and more informed decisions and deploy your resources effectively and strategically. How Our Solution Works Blackline Safety has partnered with Vlahi, a market leader in plume dispersion modeling software, to deliver best-in-class fence line and perimeter monitoring, and chemical threat analysis. We combine: Real-time, location-stamped sensor gas readings from Blackline Safety’s cloud-connected G7 EXO area monitors and G7 wearables gas detectors Vlahi’s web-based and smartphone-based CERES plume modeling software Live weather data through IBM weather or on-site meteorological stations Together, they are used to estimate and monitor a released gas's downwind concentration to predict the gas plume's size, speed, and direction of spread. Better Information, Better Incident Management Real-time gas plume monitoring leveraging connected gas detectors and weather data is an essential emergency response tool to help: Identify the type and concentration of a gas release Determine its point of origin Calculate the flow rate Monitor and direct first responders Analyze windspeed and direction to predict potential offsite impacts Make informed decisions on whether evacuation or shelter-in-place orders are needed As winds shift and conditions change, so does the plume dispersion model,
