Ensuring air quality and compliance through advanced CFD analysis
At Navier Flow Consultants, we provide comprehensive Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling services to help assess and mitigate the environmental impact of pollutant emissions. Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, we analyse the dispersion of airborne pollutants to support compliance with regulations like the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010 and BS EN 14175.
Our expertise spans a wide range of applications, including laboratory exhaust systems, generator emissions, and pharmaceutical facility stacks. Whether you’re seeking to validate stack heights, mitigate the risk of re-ingestion into HVAC systems, or assess ground-level pollution for planning approval, we offer tailored solutions to meet your needs.
Our expertise
We specialise in addressing critical challenges related to pollutant dispersal and atmospheric dispersion, including:
- Stack Height Assessments:
- Evaluating the optimal height for stacks in laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, and generator exhausts.
- Ensuring compliance with BS EN 14175 for fume cupboards in laboratories.
- Ground-Level Pollution Analysis:
- Assessing pollutant concentrations at ground level for planning applications and environmental impact assessments.
- Demonstrating compliance with Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010.
- Re-ingestion Risk Mitigation:
- Analysing pollutant re-ingestion risks for HVAC systems in buildings near emission sources.
- Recommending design modifications to reduce contamination risks.
- Specialist Applications:
- Dispersion modelling for facilities handling toxic or hazardous emissions.
- Supporting industrial and pharmaceutical projects requiring precise pollutant control.
Why atmospheric dispersion modelling matters?
Airborne pollutants can pose significant risks to human health, environmental quality, and regulatory compliance. Dispersion modelling helps:
- Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Demonstrate adherence to air quality standards and building regulations.
- Optimise System Design: Validate stack heights and emission control systems to minimise environmental impact.
- Support Planning Applications: Provide evidence-based assessments for planning authorities.
- Enhance Safety: Mitigate risks of pollutant re-ingestion or exposure in sensitive areas.
Our approach
- State-of-the-art CFD Analysis:
- Simulating pollutant dispersion in complex environments, accounting for terrain undulations, weather data, and building geometries.
- Compliance Verification:
- Assessing pollutant concentrations against statutory limits under the Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010.
- Verifying laboratory fume cupboard systems in accordance with BS EN 14175.
- Clear Reporting:
- Delivering comprehensive reports with actionable insights, including visualizations of dispersion patterns, compliance metrics, and design recommendations.
