Air quality modelling as a tool used in selecting technological alternatives for developing a new abrasive facilit

Abstract

Production of abrasive compounds employs the use of various organic materials as adhesives or as conditioners. During the baking process, a significant amount of air pollutant substances, including various forms of organic compounds are emitted in the atmosphere. Selecting the most suitable technological process is a procedure that involves a cost benefit analysis as well as procedures forcomplying with BAT requirements (best available techniques). Assessing the resulting environment quality in the vicinity of a new facility is also important, IPPC Directive clearly specifies that a new facility must not induce changes of the quality of the environment. This is highly dependent on local meteorological and topographical conditions. The ISCST3 model was applied to assess the atmospheric dispersions associated with several potential technological designs, and compare their impacts on the environment.
