We’re The Premier AERMOD Modeling Experts in Denver

Depend on us for AERMOD Modeling Experts Serving Denver

AERMOD is an air pollutant dispersion model used to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources worldwide. It was developed by the American Meteorological Society and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for regulatory purposes.

When using the AERMOD model, having AERMOD experts in Denver like Sullivan Environmental is integral for the following reasons:

It is important to understand the technical underpinnings of the AERMOD model as they relate to the application. AERMOD shouldn’t be viewed as a “black box.”

Expertise is necessary to get model results that stand up to critical review.

In many model applications, the difference between defensible and indefensible results is in the quality of the emission rate data entered into the model.

Sound research and identifying data representative of the application requires extensive review of guidance documents. 

Peer-reviewed literature should also be used to identify emission data that will stand the test of critical review. This can be extremely critical for sources that are often essential to obtaining quality results, such as wind-blown dust and many other fugitive (non-ducted) sources.

We’re Your CALPUFF Modeling Experts in Denver

Although not used as extensively as AERMOD, CALPUFF can be preferred for large modeling domains greater than 50 km and in some settings with complex terrain. For instance, the staff at Sullivan Environmental Consulting relied on CALPUFF to account for wind-blown atmospheric deposition of pesticides throughout large areas of agricultural land involving hundreds of square miles of coverage. In addition, when modeling air quality in Jakarta, Indonesia, to account for sea breeze factors, our staff relied on using the CALPUFF model.
