Air Quality Management

Air Quality Management is required for both regulatory driven projects (EIA and IPPC) and client driven specialists studies.

 The main areas of Air Quality  Management include:

  • Baseline monitoring and predictive modelling for air emissions
  • Assessing the impact of these emissions on the local environment
  • Installing appropriate abatement systems where required

Air dispersing modelling is carried out by PM using the latest internationally recognised models, approved by Irish and international regulatory agencies.  These computer models combine emission source data, local meteorology and terrain data to model:

  • Odorous emissions
  • Emissions with possible nuisance effects
  • Plant failure mode scenarios
  • Stack height determination for existing and proposed sources
  • Various time averages and percentile values where legislation dictates

PM can also assist with the selection and specification of abatement equipment including:

  • Electrostatic precipitators
  • Bag Filters
  • Cyclones
  • VOC abatement systems (thermal oxidiser)

Recent Projects Include:

  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Swords Laboratories
  • Diageo
  • Tynagh Energy
  • Abbott Cootehill
