SERVICES
UVW main activities:
- Emissions Inventory calculation;
- Mathematical modelling of environmental systems, specifically atmospheric pollutants production, transport and dispersion/deposition, at the local and regional scale;
- Photochemical modelling (ozone);
- Odour modelling, following German Guidelines (odour hour frequency) or Netherland Guidelines (P98 of hourly odour concentrations);
- Meteorological modelling (local and regional scale), with meteorological parameters prediction, such as wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, Solar radiation, mixing height (mechanical and convective), monin-obukhov length, etc.
- Numerical modelling of cooling tower environmental impact (plume length frequency, number of shadow hours, fog probability)
- Minimum stack height determination by legislation application or by sensitive analyses with an atmospheric dispersion study
- Impact assessment of major industrial accidents using the ALOHA tool.
