Aermod Software Compared 2015

Aermod Software Compared 2015

Aermod is a Gaussian based dispersion model, and there are various bits of software that use it.

Order in ascending price below.

EPA - Aeromod (Free)


The basic program  is available for free from the EPA website.

This is pretty tricky stuff though, and you will need to be OK with working at command prompt to get on with this.

Beeline Software - BEEST ($1350 )


BEEST includes all the parts you need for an AERMOD, ISCST3 and ISC-Prime analysis.

It has a GUI, and so input of data is far easier than the command prompt EPA version.

 Breeze Aermod  - ($1495)


AERMOD is a steady-state Gaussian dispersion model that represents the current state-of-science and promulgated dispersion model from the U.S. EPA. BREEZE AERMOD is an enhanced version of the EPA-approved AERMOD that provides modelers with the tools and functionality required to perform air quality analyses and that help to address both permitting, regulatory, and nuisance issues as well as perform academic research. BREEZE AERMOD/ISC offers the most complete air quality modeling system available on the market today. No other application is used by more air quality professionals around the world.Odour Management Plan

Sample Frequency for WAC Testing

Sample Frequency for WAC Testing


Took forever to look this up so please find below handy table for working out how many samples you need to take per ton when taking samples for WAC Testing. WAC or Waste Acceptance Criteria are the levels of contamination found in waste relevant to the type of disposal facility it would have to go to, inert, general or hazardous.
