| Abstract | Plume dispersion from Mae Moh Thermal Power Plant units 1-11 was studied, using the CALPUFF 1 F /PC Gaussian puff dispersion model, enhanced with a fumigation algorithm grid model. Meteorological data and emission data were used for the simulation of the plume dispersion. The simulation covers the period 1 January to 20 February 1994. Ambient monitoring 802 concentrations have been used to calibrate the model and evaluate the impact areas of maximum 1 hour, maximum 24 hour, and average ground level S02 concentrations. The final model setup has been changed compared with an earlier similar modelling study, partly to overcome an identified error in the model output. Four scenarios of S02 emission have been simulated under the same meteorological conditions to describe the relationships between plant operation and impact area. |
