Ws. Bouhamra et A. Elkilani, APPLICATION OF SUPER STACK MODEL TO ESTIMATE CEMENT, UREA AND AMMONIUM-SULFATE PARTICULATE CONCENTRATIONS, Environmental technology, 16(10), 1995, pp. 943-954
The dispersion and the concentration of cement, urea and ammonium sulf
ate particulates in Shuaiba industrial area in Kuwait were estimated u
sing the ''super stack'' model. The model, which was described elsewhe
re (5,8), has been modified to compute solid pollutant concentrations
emitted from multiple sources of different heights and emission rates
in a simple terrain. The results of the model were compared to data ex
perimentally obtained from different monitoring stations located at di
stance of 100 to 200 m from the source. Close correspondence existed b
etween the data predicted from the model and the experimentally measur
ed values. This model served as a convenient tool to predict the solid
pollutant concentration in a more efficient and accurate way. The con
centration contour lines of these solids were established. The FB and
NMSE values for the model prediction were in the range -0.37 to 0.788
and 0.394 to 1.431 respectively.
