Ecolego can be used for
Ecolego can be adapted and customised for any specific usage and needs in conducting risk assessments of complex dynamic systems.
Ecolego’s primary use has been in conducting safety and risk assessments in the Nuclear Sector, including safety assessments of nuclear facilities, medical, industrial and research facilities that make peaceful uses of radioisotopes, nuclear legacy sites and radioactive waste management facilities.
Ecolego has been applied to the mining sector when it comes to activities to be implemented at uranium (and other elements) mining and legacy sites. We offer support to clients for implementation of own models specific to the actions of a mine and its remediation.
The contaminated land market can benefit from models including assessment of impacts of chemical or other hazards to the environment. Such models can be developed and included in the Ecolego model library, for instance, for chemical transfer in connection to traditional waste management (landfills, etc.).
Simulation Modelling and Risk Assessment Software
Ecolego is a software tool for development of mathematical models of dynamic systems and processes and performing deterministic and probabilistic simulations with the models. The models can consist of analytical expressions, systems of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) or a combination of the two. Ecolego includes state-of-the-art numerical solvers for numerical solution of the systems of ODEs. It incorporates an engine for performing probabilistic propagation of parameter uncertainty through the models using Monte Carlo and Latin Hypercube sampling, which can be used for performing uncertainty and sensitivity analyses.
Ecolego Applications
Ecolego is well-established in the international market with customers throughout the world. The following are a few of the projects references to which Ecolego has been applied:
- Swedish near-surface and geological repositories
- Finnish geological repository
- Fukushima, Japan
- Ukrainian Pridniprovskiy Chemical Plant
- NORM and legacy uranium sites in Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc.)
- Oil, Gas and Mining industries in the Middle East (UAE) and Africa (South Africa)
Software
The Ecolego software includes optional specialized toolboxes. We also provide the Ecolego Player, free software that allows the user to browse the model, inspect equations, and re-run simulations.
Our Services
Ecolego Team provides the following paid services related to the Ecolego.
Consultancy
We offer technical assistance in the fields of environmental risk assessments, simulation modelling, safety assessments in radioactive waste management and radiation protection.
Clients may have specific uses of Ecolego which require an adaptation or special modification to the software. Contracts can be arranged with clients to perform these specific adaptations to meet specific customer demands.
Read more about our ServicesTraining
Individual and group training on Ecolego and use of specific models are offered at a fee. This training offering is in addition to the free online training offered as part of the licensing package. Such training is organized according to specific client requests and can take place at AF offices or at client premises.
