Depend on us for AERMOD Modeling in Houston, Texas

 

AERMOD is an air pollutant dispersion model that is used to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources worldwide. The model 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 Houston 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 will stand up to critical review.
  • In many model applications the difference between defensible and indefensible results is in the quality, or lack thereof, of the emission rate data entered into the model.
  • Sound research and identifying data that is representative of the application at hand 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. For sources that often can be essential to obtaining quality results, such as wind-blown dust and many other fugitive (non-ducted) sources, this can be extremely critical.

 

Were Your CALPUFF Modeling Experts in Houston

 

Although not used as extensively as AERMOD, CALPUFF can be a preferred choice 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 in order to account for sea breeze factors, our staff relied on the use of the CALPUFF model.
