Update and improvement of dispersion calculations for emissions to air from TCM's amine plant. Part l-Worst case nitrosamines and nitramines. NILU OR

Tønnesen, D.

Inert dispersion of a unitary emission has been combined with time dependent air chemistry to provide maximum impact of nitrosamines and nitramines in air and water for emissions from the amine absorber at TCM. The calculations show that worst case impact of nitrosamines and nitramines in air is 5 % of the recommended guideline value. The maximum concentrations in fresh water range from13 % to 53 % of the guideline depending on the use of absorbent and flue gas. Estimates for a likely case impact show that air concentrations will be a factor of 3 lower than the worst case, while water concentrations will be a factor from 10 to 20 lower than the worst case depending on the type of absorber.
