Air particulate matter dispersion at biomass energy plant using AERMOD Modelling

. Biomass is included as one of the conventional sources other than solar and hydro energy. There are different types of biomass such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), fronds, mesocarp fibre (MF), trunk and shell. Each type provides a different level of particulate matter and the particulate matter had al...

Air particulate matter dispersion at biomass energy plant using AERMOD Modelling
description . Biomass is included as one of the conventional sources other than solar and hydro energy. There are different types of biomass such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), fronds, mesocarp fibre (MF), trunk and shell.

The main purpose of this paper is to identify the critical location on-site and to measure and analyse the particulate matter dispersion by using AERMOD Modelling. This paper presents a simulation study of particulate matter dispersion at biomass energy plant. The dispersion of the particulate is studied at Bioenergy plant located at Jengka, Pahang which generates electricity from the EFB waste.
