ADEPP Academy

What ADEPP Academy does

ADEPP Academy is a UK-based, founder-owned software and services firm founded in 2007 (building on the 1994 original development of the ADEPP software in France) that commercializes proprietary process-safety and risk-management technology for hazardous industries. Its core product, ADEPP (Analysis and Dynamic Evaluation of Project Processes), is an object-oriented software package that integrates dynamic consequence simulation — modeling jet fires, pool fires and three-phase vapor-liquid separators — with combined event tree and fault tree analysis for the quantitative determination of Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) and performance standards. The platform is delivered via two core modalities: the ADEPP HSE-Toolkit (a customized dynamic simulation toolkit) and ADEPP Monitor (an online platform for managing SCE matrices, performance standards, action tracking and audit trails across HAZOP, HAZID, SIL, HSEMS and Bow-Tie studies). It is complemented by derivative products including ADEPP HSE Case, ADEPP Maintenance Manuals and ADEPP Process Data Audit, plus a C1–C14 catalog of specialized HSE training courses priced at €1,900–€3,500 per attendee.

The company sells to enterprise clients in oil & gas (offshore and onshore), petrochemicals, refineries, power generation, heavy industries (steel, marine terminals, space), railway operators, government/regulatory bodies, law firms and insurance carriers — relying on direct specialist engagement (on-site or remote) supplemented by downloadable product demos and online course delivery. Technical assistance, code-based and risk-based consulting, and R&D collaboration in technical safety, process safety, RAMS and dynamic simulation constitute additional professional-services revenue alongside subscription access to the ADEPP Monitor platform. The product integrates with established process-simulation tools including DEGATEC, CHARM, PHAST, LOGAN and CAMEO, positioning ADEPP as a federating HSE knowledge layer rather than a standalone simulation engine.

ADEPP's commercial footprint is global in claim but small in scale, with 11–50 employees, no disclosed external funding, no acquisitions, and operations anchored in London (HQ at 29 Harley Street) and France. ISO 9001-aligned quality processes and APP-protected intellectual property in France underpin the offering, which is led by co-founders Dr. Fabienne F. Salimi (President) and Frederic Salimi. The firm has not disclosed revenue, ARR or recent growth metrics in available materials.
