Chemical Spill Modeling

ASA provides services and solutions for predicting the fate and trajectory of chemical spills. When hazardous chemicals are spilled into the environment, the primary concern is where the chemicals will go and what they may react with. ASA scientists with in-house computer modeling tools can provide rapid predictions of the trajectory, fate, impacts and biological effects of released chemical substances three-dimensionally.
ASA provides CHEMMAP™, which similar to sibling ASA model systems, SARMAP and OILMAP, has also become a world-leading chemical spill modeling tool.
ASA’s chemical spill modeling services have been applied to many chemical spill incidents varying in size and location globally.
By providing a customized version of the CHEMMAP application or a completely customized solution, ASA’s chemical spill modeling services and capabilities include:
- Impact Assessment
- Hindcast/forecast of spill response
- Natural resource damage assessment
- Contingency planning - including worst-case scenario
- Evaluation of point source discharges
- Cost-benefit analysis
- Drills and education
