Stack emission modeling in the process industry

Abstract

Air being an important part of the environment is always required to be in a satisfactory condition for proper functioning of the entire eco system. Air quality is affected due to several reasons such as increasing number of industries and vehicles. Therefore current practice is to carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before a new industry is started. The purpose of the EIA is to predict and identify potentially significant environmental impacts of development proposals and to suggest mitigation measures to minimize the negative impacts and maximize the positive impacts. Further, monitoring emissions from industrial activities during plant operation helps identification and prevention of adverse environmental impacts.
