Integrating accurate air quality modeling with decision making is hampered by complex atmospheric physics and chemistry and its coupling with atmospheric transport. Existing approaches to model the physics and chemistry accurately lead to significant computational burdens in computing the response of atmospheric concentrations to changes in emissions profiles. By integrating a reduced form of a...

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are computer systems used for monitoring and controlling industrial processes such as power plants and power grid systems, water, gas and oil distribution, production systems for food, cars and other products. In the current effort we propose a new approach for deviation monitoring in SCADA networks. We use statistics extracted from parse...

Multiyear emission inventories of anthropogenic NMVOCs in China for 1980–2005 were compiled based on time-varying statistical data, literature surveyed and model calculated emission factors, and were gridded at a high spatial resolution of 40 km×40 km using the GIS methodology. Chinese NMVOCs emissions had increased by 4.3 times 5 at an annual average rate of 10.7% from 3.92Tg in 1980 to 16.5 T...

Electricity production in India is projected to expand dramatically in the near term to energize new industrial development, while also easing the energy shortages throughout the country. Much of the new growth in electricity production will be fueled by domestic coal resources; however, there is worldwide concern about increased coal use, as greater carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from coal co...

A systematic literature review was conducted to investigate the environmental impact of solar thermal power plants in industrial supply chains. number different collectors like parabolic trough (PT), linear Fresnel (LFR), dish (SD) and towers (ST) were considered analysed. The first observation that PT generate lowest level Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, followed by LFR, DT SD plants. There a...

Direct evidence demonstrates that urban and industrial air pollution can completely shut off precipitation from clouds that have temperatures at their tops of about -10 degrees C over large areas. Satellite data reveal plumes of reduced cloud particle size and suppressed precipitation originating from major urban areas and from industrial facilities such as power plants. Measurements obtained b...

Analysis of the emission caused by industrial facilities like chemical plants, refineries or other production areas is the first and most important step while calculating the noise pollution of the environment. Pipework with gas or fluid flows are often contributing relevant to the sound radiation of a complete facility. This radiation can be determined applying the methods described in technic...
