Air quality & emissions Ramboll Environment Stephen Grocott
Slide 20: Air Emissions – Sulfur Dioxide
AIR EMISSIONS – SULFUR DIOXIDE • Sulfur (by-product from natural gas production and oil refining) • Imported sulfur is burnt in an acid plant to make sulfur dioxide (SO2). • 99.7 – 99.9% of the SO2 is captured and oxidised to make sulfuric acid (H2SO4), electricity and steam • 0.1 – 0.3% of sulfur i

Slide 24: Overview
OVERVIEW • Overview of Air Quality Assessment in NSW – why and how • Understanding dispersion and how dispersion models work • Commonly used dispersion models in NSW • Overview of model inputs • Interpreting model outputs and results • Questions CLEAN TEQ SUNRISE PROJECT 15/02/2018
Slide 25: Air Quality Assessment in NSW
AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN NSW • NSW EPA provide guidance for air quality assessment in NSW (the Approved Methods) which specifies: • How input data are collected and used: • Meteorological data; • Emissions data; • Terrain data; and • Building, receptors etc. • How dispersion modelling should be per
Slide 26: What Is a Dispersion Model?
WHAT IS A DISPERSION MODEL? • Set of mathematical equations (algorithms) which are used to characterise the behaviour of an emission source (e.g. a stack). • Can be used to predict pollutant concentrations at specified distances downwind of an emission source. Stack CLEAN TEQ SUNRISE PROJECT 15/02/2

Slide 32: Sunrise Project – Model Inputs (Meteorology)
SUNRISE PROJECT – MODEL INPUTS (METEOROLOGY) • Available regional data reviewed. • Nearest site (Condobolin Airport) was comparable to EIS and other data sources (i.e. Northparkes & Cowal Mines). • Relatively ‘simple’ regional terrain – i.e. no mountains, etc. that would significantly alter weather
Slide 33: Sunrise Project – Model Inputs (Emission Sources)
SUNRISE PROJECT – MODEL INPUTS (EMISSION SOURCES) • Sulphuric acid plant emissions are based on: • NSW EPA’s allowable in-stack concentration limits (maximum case); and • Proposed stack design parameters. • Power generation emissions are based on: • Maximum power demand; and • Proposed stack design

Slide 35: Sunrise Project – NOx and SOx Emissions
SUNRISE PROJECT – NOX AND SOX EMISSIONS • The phenomenon known as acid rain is a process where SOx and NOx emissions react with water in the atmosphere and fall to the ground as wet or dry deposition. • Acid rain historically occurred in industrialised areas with high emission loads of SOx and NOx (
Slide 36: Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Summary
SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO 2) SUMMARY 1. We are selecting from amongst the world’s best acid plant manufacturers and designs 2. We are aiming for less than 280 ppm SO2 vs expected EPA limit of ~350 ppm (1,000 mg/m3 in POEO Clean Air Regulation standards). 3. We monitor stack emissions and publish online 4.
