The present paper demonstrates and discusses the development of a coherent technology for fire safety assessment in the oil and gas industry based on the Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) by Magnussen. It includes a brief review of the concept and its physical basis which is implemented together with other models into a dedicated fire simulation tool, KAMELEON FIREEX KFX®.
