Dispersion Calculation for Pollutants and Odors

Dispersion calculation for pollutants and odors | TÜV Rheinland

Approval procedures made easy: Take advantage of our dispersion calculations for pollutants from your plant

As the owner or operator of industrial plants, you know how long the approval process for the new construction or modification of a plant can take. Nevertheless, in the context of immission control, determining the exhaust air routing for plants that release their exhaust gases into the atmosphere or generate odorous exhaust air is extremely important. Only then can it be ensured that regulations for the environmental and health protection are being met.

One-stop service for dispersion calculations and chimney height calculations

Our team of experienced engineers, chemists and meteorologists will support you with the dispersion calculations that are required to determine the emission of pollutants from your plant. We also carry out chimney height calculations for all sources.

With us as a competent partner at your side, you benefit from a comprehensive expertise in emission and immission analysis.

Would you like to save time and money when calculating the dispersion of your system? Make an appointment with our experts!

Ensure the conformity of plants that require approval by determining their emissions

Regardless of whether your systems only cause very low emissions or exceed the minimum mass flow limit: Benefit from our support with chimney height calculations or immission forecasts that are required as part of more complex approval procedures.

A dispersion calculation may also be necessary if there are special external conditions, such as a very hilly terrain, complex building developments or both. With the help of a dispersion calculation, we determine the additional pollution caused by your plant over a wide area and calculate the total pollution.

Discover our services for dispersion calculations and chimney height determination

We conduct dispersion calculations for a wide range of conditions.

In addition, we carry out polluter analyses, provide statements in the event of complaints and recommend emission reduction measures.

As an accredited body, we support you in the following areas:

Dispersion calculation
Chimney height calculation

  • Dispersion calculation: We determine the extent to which air pollutants, dusts and dust constituents, odors, germs, and spores reach the environment and impact the air quality.
  • Weather data: Determination of meteorological data to calculate pollutant dispersion conditions as part of diagnoses and forecasts.
  • Nitrogen and acid deposition calculation: We determine the pollution caused by nitrogen and acids in designated flora and fauna habitats.
  • Microscale immission forecasts: We determine motor vehicle-related air pollution within developed structures such as gas stations, parking garages and street canyons.
  • Dispersion calculations in orographically structured and complex terrain: Since the majority of plants are located in hilly to mountainous environments, we determine the pollutant load in special terrains.

  • As in Germany specific requirements related to the necessary chimney height are defined: We calculate the minimum chimney height required for plants that require approval and generate pollution.

Trust the expertise of our specialists regarding the dispersion of pollutants

Our interdisciplinary team covers all areas involved in determining emissions and immissions and also supports you with the necessary dispersion calculations and chimney height calculations.

With our many years of experience in the field of pollutant dispersion, we are the right partner at your side, even – and especially – for difficult situations.
