Pembina – WASX DCS Control Panel
For applications where a steady-state, straight-line, Gaussian plume model is appropriate (i.e. short to mid-range pollutant transport)
For applications where a dynamic Lagrangian puff model is appropriate (i.e. long range pollutant transport and complex flow conditions)
For screening-level assessments of flare stack and incinerator compliance with air quality objectives
For Emergency Response and Planning Zone calculations and consequence modelling of hazardous releases
Concentration Isopleths as an overlay in Google Earth
Modelling is used to assess emissions such as NOₓ, SOₓ, H₂S, CO₂, and other regulated air contaminants. Results are prepared to support regulatory submissions, inform design decisions, and demonstrate compliance with applicable air quality criteria.
- Our Approach
Fit-for-Purpose Regulatory Support
Regulatory and environmental work is scaled to suit project size, complexity, and jurisdictional requirements. GLE applies the appropriate level of effort to meet regulatory expectations while supporting efficient project progression.
