Atmospheric dispersion modeling of pollutants from DG

sets is carried out using the USEPA

approved air quality model ISCST3. Hourly meteorological
data as monitored at site is used
for impact assessment study. Mixing height data are
taken from publication of IMD Atlas of
Hourly Mixing Height in India, 2008.
2 DG set ,one of 500 KVA, and second DG set of 380KVA
will be provided for back up
electricity supply during power failure. This will cause
emission of PM, SO2, NOx and CO.
However, since the D.G. sets will be operational only
during power failure and low sulphur
diesel will be used, therefore, pollutants incremental load
in the ambient air environment will
be expected to be minimal.
The GLC is predicted on the impact zone of 2 km x 2km
at grid spacing 100x100m. The
predicted GLCs of PM10, CO and SO2 are found
insignificant.
Based on the observed meteorological condition, the 24hours average maximum predicted
GLC of NOx is to be 10.46 g/m3 and to be occurred at
(800,0) m from the DG sets location.
An adequate stack height of D.G. Sets will be provided as
per the stipulated guidelines of
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to facilitate proper
dispersion of exhaust gases as
given below considering height of the building.
