Probleme encountered
During a waste treatment plant design, the project manager must ensure of no smells leakage.
Objectives
- To characterize the way chosen ventilation system works
- To validate the lack of smells dispersion outwards
Method
- 3D thermal airflow simulations for a range of scenarios
- Identification of thermal and smell sources
- Representation of different openings
- Sensitivity to wind scenarios
Solution
The study enabled to :
- Validate ventilation choices and sizing,
- Identify critical points,
- Suggest changes/adaptations.
