Aria advises companies on how to mitigate the risk of explosion, fire, and release of hazardous materials.
- Objectives
- Relevant Software
- Partners
Control industrial risks.
Realise risk assessment studies.
Determine safety perimeters in case of a transport accident of dangerous or inflammable products.
Simulate wind field and fire propagation in case of forest fire in complex terrain.
The expertise of ARIA Technologies rests on two complementary strands: the design and realization of computer simulation systems on one hand and performing studies and offering services on the other. According to specific needs, our teams use or install the tools adapted to answer various problems: software, systems, integration tools for the company's information systems.

To meet the needs of industrialists, ARIA Technologies works in close cooperation with partners:
Our technological partners-
Environnement SA : Environnement S.A is leading international company in the instrumention and analysis and of environmental measurements. ARIA Technologies and Environment SA work in close cooperation with industrialists to provide them a complete range of services for the monitoring of air quality and follow-up of industrial emissions. For more information consult their website.
-
ALPHA MOS : Alpha MOS is an international company which offers analytical instrumentation, created to develop, manufacture and market electronic smell and taste sensors. ARIA Technologies and Mos ALPHA work in partnership to answer problems relating to odors. For more information consult their website.
-
CAP Environnement : Office of independent studies specializing in the atmospheric environment (air quality, odors, noise, electromagnetic fields…). CAP Environment and ARIA Technologies address the needs of industrialists, offices of territorial studies, local government agencies. For more information consult their website.
-
CAREPS : CAREPS is an office of studies working in association with the medical and social sectors since 1981. ARIA Technologies and the CAREPS works together to undertake complete studies of health hazards. For more information consult their website.
-
TERA Environnement : TERA Environnement is a company created in 2001 originating out of a research laboratory of the University Joseph Furrier in Grenoble, specializing in the analysis of the chemical contaminations. ARIA Technologies works with TERA Environnement for its needs; physicochemical analyses. For more information consult their website.
The main parameter in an environmental accident is the quantity of pollutant released in the atmosphere. In addition to the standard accident scenarios that project different hypotheses of emission rates, ARIA Technologies designs and implements inverse emission estimation techniques in real time by combining continuous monitoring and a rapid dispersion model in an alert system.
Calculations of dispersion of accidental releases are characterized by very short distances and time intervals, the significant role of obstacles, and specific physical behavior of heavy gases. The objective of risk assessment studies, performed both for accidental gaseous releases and fires, is to determine the probability of a critical situation (threshold exposure and concentration levels, IDLH) occurring under particular meteorological conditions.

In case of a forest fire, community safety services need accurate information of the wind field in complex terrain. ARIA Technologies merges meteorological and fire propagation models to enable a better assessment of the situation.
ARIA Technologies helps companies to develop detailed plans for transport of hazardous materials. 3D modeling techniques are applied to detailed simulations of accidents involving such transport through high-risk transit areas, such as tunnels in complex urban zones.
