Abstract: For many plants, the annual average impact is significantly lower than the regulation limit. Nevertheless, in some critical meteorological conditions, pollution peaks may occur. The present study describes an original control method for refinery emissions based on meteorological forecast and dispersion modelling, to avoid SO₂ pollution peaks. An integrated operational tool has been developed to forecast, automatically, 24 h a day, the environmental SO₂ impact around the plant for the next two days. The operational system allows the site to avoid the major part of pollution peaks and the associated cost.
