Description Integrated pipe manufacturing industry
is operation intensive and has significant air pollution
potential especially when it is equipped
with a captive power production facility. Emissions
of SO2, NOx, and particulate matter (PM)
were estimated from the stationary sources in a
state-of-the-art pipe manufacturing plant in India.
Major air polluting units like blast furnace,
ductile iron spun pipe facility, and captive power
production facility were selected for stack gas
monitoring. Subsequently, ambient air quality modeling was undertaken to predict ground-level concentrations of the selected air pollutants using Industrial Source Complex (ISC 3) model. Emissions of SO2, NOx, and particulate matter from the stationary sources in selected facilities ranged from 0.02 to 16.5, 0.03 to 93.3, and 0.09 to 48.3 kg h−1, respectively. Concentration of SO2 and NOx in stack gas of 1,180-kVA (1 KW =1.25 kVA) diesel generator exceeded the upper safe limits prescribed by the State Pollution Control Board, while concentrations of the same from all other units were within the prescribed limits.
