Plume Modelling

At Minetek, we take environmental compliance seriously, which is why we provide comprehensive plume modelling services as part of our environmental engineering solutions. Plume modelling allows us to assess and control the dispersion of emissions from water evaporators, ensuring they fall within regulatory limits and minimise environmental impact.

Controlling Plume Drift for Environmental Protection

Plume modelling addresses two primary concerns: the drift of water expelled from the evaporator and the emissions caused by the evaporator itself. Our advanced modelling techniques enable us to estimate the concentrations of harmful substances in the plume and assess their impact on sensitive receptors, such as nearby communities or environmentally sensitive areas.

Customised solutions for environmental management

Minetek recommends utilising our flexible Environmental Management System (EMS) in conjunction with our Water Evaporator to control plume drift effectively. The EMS, adaptable to your specific needs, integrates with a weather station to optimise evaporator operation based on customisable parameters, including wind speed/direction, humidity, temperature, and water flow/pressure. By dynamically adjusting the evaporator operation, we ensure that the plume remains within designated areas, minimising the risk of environmental contamination.

Meeting EPA standards for emissions

Our plume modelling services play a crucial role in ensuring that water evaporator emissions meet and exceed the site’s EPA standards. By controlling harmful emissions such as dust, arsenic, cyanide, and heavy metals, we ensure compliance with regulatory limits and protect the surrounding environment and communities.
