Speaker
Aaron M. Day, P.E., Seattle Operations Manager, Trinity Consultants, Kent, WA
Current events over the past year have resulted in increased scrutiny of the
potential risks involved in accidental chemical releases from industrial
facilities. Alongside these risks, industrial facilities also need to meet
increasingly stringent standards to obtain air quality permits for regulated
emissions sources. Numerous air dispersion models are available for assessing
the potential impacts of emissions (permitted or accidental releases) on the
surrounding ambient air.
This presentation will provide an overview of dispersion modeling, discussing
reasons for conducting dispersion modeling analyses, and the advantages and
disadvantages of several of the available models that are approved by the U.S.
EPA for use in permit applications or accidental release hazard analyses,
including the ISCST3, AERMOD, CALPUFF, SLAB, and DEGADIS models.
