Complete Emission Measurement Technology, 8014933 EMISSION MEASUREMENT INFORMATION Complete Emission Measurement Technology from SICK Single-source technologies and solutions for now and in the future emissions monitoring Complete Emission Measurement Technology from SICK Emission monitoring from SICK: global solutions for a globally relevant topic Effective climate protection as well as the maintenance and restoration of a clean environment are among the greatest challenges facing today's global community. Efficient energy management must be implemented in all emis- sion-relevant industries and regions – especially those with intensive energy requirements as well as densely populated centers worldwide. The goal of reducing air pollution to the lowest technically feasible level is primarily achieved with state-of-the-art waste gas purification processes. Emissions must be determined both in terms of quantity and quality as well as minimized in a targeted manner. This can be achieved with proactive plan- ning of industrial plants and continuous monitoring of emissions. Continuous emission measurement is used to determine the emission behav- ior of industrial plants. SICK is the only manufacturer worldwide in this industry with decades of experience offering a complete range of emission measure- ment technology. We use proven measurement principles and innovative tech- nologies to ensure solutions for now and in the future – even under increasing environmental and safety-related requirements. Make your significant contribution to an intact environment for current and future generations with complete emission measurement technology from SICK. 2 EMISSION MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY | SICK 2013/08 Subject to change without notice Table of Contents Company ........................4 Industries and solutions ............6 Technologies and measuring principles ........................8 Systems and project engineering... 10 Connectivity .................... 12 Services and consulting .......... 14 Requirements of emission measurement systems ........... 16 Gas analyzers .................. 18 Analyzer systems................ 22 Dust measuring devices .......... 24 Gas flow measuring devices....... 26 Data acquisition systems ......... 27 Regulations and provisions ....... 28 Glossary....................... 30 2013/08 EMISSION MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY | SICK 3 Subject to change without notice PS_header1_small_blueCompany PS_header2_small_blue We deliver “Sensor Intelligence.” SICK sensor solutions are the result of exceptional dedication and experience.

  • 9 Air Quality Study
    Ringaskiddy Waste Management Facility Environmental Impact Statement 9 Air Quality Study Executive Summary Air dispersion modelling was carried out using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) regulatory model ISCST3. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of both typical and maximum emissions from lndaver Ireland in the ambient environment. The study demonstrates that all substances which will be emitted from lndaver Ireland will be at levels that are well below even the most stringent ambient air quality standards and guidelines. The dispersion model study consisted of the following components: review of design emission levels and other relevant information needed for the modelling study identification of the significant substances which are released from the site review of background ambient air quality in. the vicinity of the plant air dispersion modelling of significant substance concentrations released from the site deposition modelling of dioxin and heavy metals released from the site identification of predicted ground level concentrations of released substances beyond the site boundary and at sensitive receptors in the immediate environment a full cumulative assessment of significant releases from the site taking into account the releases from all other significant industry in the area based on the USEPA’s Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) approach evaluation of the significance of these predicted concentrations, including consideration of whether these ground level concentrations are likely to exceed the most stringent ambient air quality standards and guidelines. Modelling and a subsequent impact assessment was undertaken for the following substances released from the site: . Nitrogen dioxide (NO*) . Sulphur Dioxide (S02) For inspection purposes only.

The stated purpose of the Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz is "to protect people, animals, plants, and other things from harmful environmental effects" and "to take precautions against the occur- rence of harmful environmental effects.'

  • Modeling the Dispersion of Pollution in the Atmosphere According to the Standards Used in Germany
    Robert Cichowicz Łódź University of Technology, Institute of Environmental Engineering and Construction Installations 90-924 Łódź, Al. Politechniki 6, [email protected] Marta Bratkowska Łódź University of Technology, Institute of Environmental Engineering and Construction Installations 90-924 Łódź, Al. Politechniki 6, [email protected] MODELING THE DISPERSION OF POLLUTION IN THE ATMOSPHERE ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS USED IN GERMANY Abstract Environmental monitoring involves environmental quality studies, observation and assessment of the environment's condition, and the changes taking place within it. The analysis accounts for sources of linear, surface, and point emission that have an adverse impact on the environment through pollutants. Point source emissions mainly represented by power plants spread harmful substances even for several dozen kilometers. Dispersion modeling is used to track atmospheric pollutants and to plan future emission sources, minimizing their impact on the environment. One of the newest modeling methods is the Lagrange model, currently used in Germany in AustalView software. The article presents the stages of the calculation of atmospheric dispersion of pollutants, according to German standards based on the example of the Schkopau power plant in Germany. This makes it possible to analyze the degree of air pollution depending on the distance from the source, and the information obtained may be useful for locating newly designed power plants through the location system, where the highest pollutant concentrations are recorded. Key words Dispersion, modeling, air pollution Introduction According to L. Łobocki [1], the methods of modeling the processes of atmospheric pollutant spreading should be changed in Poland to consider all existing pollutants in a given area, define areas of high concentrations, determine specific pollution episode times, determine the accuracy requirements for results, and as a consequence, utilize the results in the recovery plans.
