Modeling and BACT Analysis for Demonstrating PM2.5 Compliance
Client: Foster-Glocester School District, Rhode Island
Evaluated a close-coupled, 4.6-MMBtu/hour gasifier, which required a preconstruction permit from the state
Performed a top-down Best Available Control Technology analysis to identify necessary emission controls
Conducted air dispersion modeling to identify an exhaust stack height and diameter that would provide the plume dispersion needed to meet air quality standards
Used EPA’s AERMOD guideline model to estimate ambient air quality impacts
