“…Number of chimneys together inside the project site often causes a pollution of the surrounding area which is probably away from the plant several kilometers as well as within the project site, and as such it is possible that chimneys emissions do not represent a direct dangerous inside the site only but it can effect area kilometers away the site [6]. The dispersion of pollutants from different sources using air dispersion models has been identified in several studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

This study aims to the prediction of pollutants emissions dispersion of a 1 M•ton/year phosphate fertilizer facility, which is located at El-Menya Governorate, Egypt. ALOHA air dispersion software is used to predict the pollutant emissions dispersion from different stacks in the proposed project. The estimated total pollutant emissions from the proposed project are 3180 g/m 3 of hydrogen fluoride (HF), 72000 g/m 3 of sulfur dioxide (SO 2), 14700 g/m 3 of sulfur tri-oxide (SO 3), 2700 g/m 3 of ammonia (NH 3), and 53550 g/m 3 of particulates (PM). Based on the total pollutant emissions from the project, the concentrations of the investigated pollution emissions at 0.5 km, 1 km and 2 km downstream the source at the worst case scenario are obtained and compared with the allowed limits. It has been found that all the emissions resulted from different activities in the proposed project are much lower than the allowed limits specified by the Egyptian ministry of environment in Law 4/1994, and therefore the proposed project is not expected to cause any undesirable impacts on the surrounding environment.

“…Gaussian-plume models have been useful in regulatory application (Brechler 2000), but have been shown to produce unreliable results in complex terrain and under stagnant conditions (Oettl et al 2001, Abdul-Wahab 2004. Adaptations allowing for non-Gaussian dispersion in the vertical direction during convective conditions has allowed for certain Gaussian-plume models (e.g.…”
