Calibration and validation o s air quality
This document discusses a study conducted to calibrate and validate air quality models used in environmental impact assessments in India. The study involved collecting emissions data from point, area, and line sources as well as meteorological data. Air quality was then monitored and models were used to predict pollutant concentrations, which were compared to observed values. The model that took into account emissions from all source types (point, area, and line) produced predictions closest to observed concentrations. Additional scenarios were run varying the stability class input to the model.

Using Physical Modeling to Refine Downwash Inputs to AERMOD at a Food Process...
Demonstrating compliance with air quality standards using dispersion modeling is increasingly difficulty because of significant tightening National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that has occurred in the last decade. Compliance with these standards is usually demonstrated using AERMOD, EPA’s standard model for assessing air quality impacts from industrial sources. However, AERMOD often produces higher predictions of air quality impacts due to the inherent conservative (high) assumptions and simplifications in its formulation. A specific situation involves the calculations used to assess the impacts of air flow downwash around buildings. Although the theory used to estimate these effects was developed for a limited set of building types, these formulae are applied indiscriminately to all types of buildings in a conservative fashion, often leading to significant overpredictions of downwash effects.
This presentation covers the basics of wind tunnel modeling and how it can be used to correct downwash induced overpredictions to achieve compliance. The presentation will also describe the setup and execution of wind tunnel modeling at a food processing facility to develop improved downwash parameters and increase the accuracy of dispersion modeling results.

EVALUATION OF SO2 AND NOX OFFSET RATIOS TO ACCOUNT FOR SECONDARY PM2.5 FORMATION
On January 4, 2012, the EPA committed to engage in rulemaking to evaluate updates to the Guideline on Air Quality Models (AppendixWof 40 CFR 51) and, as appropriate, incorporate new analytical techniques or models for secondary PM2.5. As a result, the National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) developed a screening method involving offset ratios to account for
secondary PM2.5 formation. This method can be used to evaluate total (direct and indirect) PM2.5 impacts for permitting purposes. Therefore, the evaluation of this method is important to determine its viability for widespread use.
EFFECTS OF MET DATA PROCESSING IN AERMOD CONCENTRATIONS
This document summarizes the results of a sensitivity analysis using AERMOD to model pollutant concentrations from three hypothetical emission sources under nine different meteorological data processing scenarios. The analysis found that: 1) Changing the meteorological station location had a modest effect on modeled concentrations for short and tall stacks. 2) Surface roughness category (urban vs. rural) had the largest effect on concentrations for tall stacks. 3) Varying the anemometer height resulted in small concentration changes, while surface moisture variation did not significantly affect outcomes. 4) For tall stacks, use of AERMINUTE data to include low wind hours led to much higher modeled concentrations compared to excluding this data.
Modelling system for air quality management
The document discusses the Gladstone Airshed Modelling System (GAMS), which was developed to manage air quality in the industrial area of Gladstone, Australia. GAMS consists of meteorological, emissions inventory, and dispersion models. It allows assessment of major pollutants like NOx and SO2 from over a dozen industries. GAMS provides a standard approach for approving new projects, improves consistency, and benefits air quality management in Gladstone.

Analysis and Scale Up of a Reciprocating Plate description
The research project aimed to study the feasibility of separating sulfuric acid and glucose from an aqueous biomass mixture using liquid-liquid extraction in a reciprocating plate column. The research included bench scale experiments to obtain equilibrium data for a four-component water, glucose, sulfuric acid, and n-octanol system. Pilot plant experiments were conducted to optimize separation in a 1" diameter by 34" height Karr column. The lab data was then scaled up to design a 1,000 lbs/hr Karr column along with an economic model and process control system design using experimental response curves.

NOVEL DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE USED TO EVALUATE NOX AND CO2 CONTINUOUS EMISSIO...
The current study presents a new data analysis technique developed while evaluating continuous emission data collected from a trash compactor. The evaluation involved tailpipe sampling with a portable emission monitoring system (PEMS) from a diesel fueled 525-horsepower trash
compactor. The sampling campaign took place by running the compactor with regular no. 2 diesel, B20 and ULSD fuels. The purpose was to determine the possible emission reductions in nitrous oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the use of B20 and ULSD in an off-road
vehicle. The results from the NOx analysis are discussed.
The initial data analysis identified two important issues. The first concern related to a bias in the calculated F values due to the very large number of samples (N). The large N influenced the probability values and indicated a false statistical significance for all factors tested. Additionally,
the data observations were found to be highly autocorrelated. Thus, a time interval data reduction
technique was used to address these two statistical limitations to the robustness of the statistical
analyses. The result in each case was a subset of quasi-independent observations sampled at an interval of 800 seconds. The autocorrelation and false statistical significance issues were promptly resolved by using this technique. Since the issues of false statistical significance and autocorrelation are inherent in continuous data, the positive results obtained from the use of this technique can be far-reaching. This technique allowed for a valid use of the general linear model (GLM) with engine speed as the covariate factor to test day, fuel type and compactor factors. This technique is most relevant given the advancements in data collection capabilities that
require data handling techniques to satisfy the statistical assumptions necessary for valid analyses to ensue.

Conference on the Environment- GUERRA presentation Nov 19, 2014
This document discusses innovative dispersion modeling practices to achieve reasonable conservatism in regulatory modeling demonstrations. It presents a case study evaluating the Emissions and Meteorological Variability Processor (EMVAP) and approaches to establish background concentrations. The case study models SO2 concentrations from a power plant using 1) constant emissions, 2) variable emissions, and 3) EMVAP. EMVAP provides more realistic concentrations while accounting for emission variability. Using the 50th percentile monitored background concentration when combining with modeled values provides statistical conservatism compared to using high percentile values.

Pairing aermod concentrations with the 50th percentile monitored value
This document proposes a new method for combining modeled concentrations from AERMOD with monitored background concentrations.
The current practice of adding the maximum or 98th percentile monitored concentration is overly conservative. Instead, the document suggests using the 50th percentile (median) monitored concentration.
Pairing the 98th percentile modeled concentration with the 50th percentile monitored concentration results in a combined 99th percentile concentration. This provides a more conservative estimate than the form of the short-term air quality standards, while avoiding the mismatch of temporal pairing in AERMOD and the influence of exceptional events.
The proposed method is presented as a simple, protective approach for demonstrating compliance with air quality standards when considering both modeled and monitored background concentrations.
Complying with EPA's Guidance for SO2 Designations
EPA is under a Court order to complete the remaining SO2 designations for the rest of the country in three additional rounds. On March 20, 2015 the EPA released an updated guidance for 1-hr SO2 area designations. The two options included are compliance through dispersion modeling or ambient monitoring. Of these two options, dispersion modeling is the fastest and most cost effective one to characterize SO2 air quality. However, this compliance demonstration can be challenging given that AERMOD tends to produce overly conservative concentration estimates. Source characterization techniques and probabilistic techniques may be used to achieve compliance with the 1-hour NAAQS. Three advanced methods discussed: 1) Equivalent Building Dimensions (EBD); 2) Emission Variability Processor (EMVAP); 3) 50th Percentile Background Concentrations.
