Aermod Based Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling

Introduction

This course is intended for air quality professionals who require knowledge of puff air dispersion modeling approaches and techniques. This course builds upon essential ADM concepts demonstrating the potential for accurate results at small and large scales or in regions of immense complexity. At the end of the course the attendee should be able to use the appropriate model necessary for a variety of regulatory applications, efficiently using the model at-hand. Case studies will be used throughout the course giving "real world" applicability to atmospheric dispersion theory.

Objectives

    • Learn how to use CALPUFF View, including pre- and post-processors for CALMET,
    • CALPUFF, and CALPOST.
    • Understand the models for regulatory and research applications.
    • Apply what you learn in interactive case studies using various scenarios including:
    • screening analysis, basic CALPUFF analysis, visibility analysis, analysis with chemical
    • transformation and advanced dispersion parameters, analysis of near-field impacts in
    • regions of complex terrain.

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”

Who Should Attend?

Air quality professionals in environmental consulting companies, government agencies, and  other corporate environmental engineers involved or planning to be involved, in the prediction of the impact caused by sources of air pollution.
