Air Quality Assessments - Industrial
Heavy industry such as power stations, mineral and oil refineries and chemical manufacturing plants make up some of the most complex industrial facilities which impact the atmospheric environment at a local, regional and continental scale. Katestone Environmental has provided advice, air dispersion modelling and data analysis services to a wide range of noxious and hazardous industrial facilities. Whether you operate an existing facility undergoing an expansion or are at the planning stage, we can provide advice to your engineers and environmental officers to help optimise your plant.
Katestone Environmental has had extensive experience in quantifying the current impacts and projecting potential future impacts on air quality from all types of industries. Studies have involved comprehensive monitoring programs and data analysis, or emissions estimation and forecasting through state-of-the-art meteorological and air dispersion models on both a local and regional airshed scale. We have also conducted screening level health risk assessment studies, working closely with health experts to assess the potential impact of emissions of hazardous substances from industrial and infrastructure projects.
Katestone Environmental has provided consulting services to both industry and government on the impacts to air quality from industrial and infrastructure projects. We regularly advise local councils across Australia on approvals and planning matters involving activities that may emit hazardous air pollutants in close proximity to sensitive land-uses.
