What are air dispersion modeling services at Element?

Air Dispersion Modeling computes weather patterns and local topography to predict ground-level emission concentrations from industrial sources. At Element, we use advanced modeling software to analyze various scenarios, including stack height modifications, volumetric flow changes, and emission concentration variations, comparing results against Ambient Air Quality standards.

What can Element offer you for air dispersion modeling services?

Components and materials we test

We test a comprehensive range of industrial emissions, focusing on critical parameters that impact environmental compliance. Our testing covers both source emissions and ambient air concentrations, providing a complete picture of your environmental impact and helping you meet regulatory requirements across all major pollutant categories.

Key services offered

Our modeling solutions utilize state-of-the-art US EPA ISC-AEROMOD software to simulate multiple scenarios and predict emission impacts. We combine this with ISO 17025 UKAS-MCERTS accredited emissions testing and comprehensive background level assessment to deliver reliable, compliance-ready results presented in both tabular and visual formats. 

Cutting-edge equipment we use

We employ advanced monitoring systems including CEMS, PEMS, and specialized equipment for EN 14181 QAL2, AST and RATA testing. Our technology enables precise measurement and visualization of emissions data, supported by acoustic noise cameras for complementary environmental assessments.

Which labs offer this service

Our team operates from environmental testing hubs across the world, providing global access to our expert capabilities. Find out where your nearest environmental testing hub is on our Locations Page.
