Abstract
Ground level concentrations due to emissions from the Jeddah dual—purpose plant (sea water desalination and electric power production) have been estimated using the standard Gaussian plume model (GPM). The main types of pollutants emitted from the plant are: Hydro–carbons HC, carbon monoxide CO, Nitrogen oxides NOx and sulfur dioxide SO2. Thermal stability classes for Jeddah city are estimated for the months of the year (2007). It was found that the dominant stability class for the city is the moderately unstable class B (according to pasquill classification). The results of stability classes’ evaluation together with the meteorological wind—data are used to predict the ground level concentration (glc) of the pollutants against the downwind distance from the plant location. The month and day of each calculated value of the pollutant concentration during the year (2007) have been specified. The maximum (glc) and their positions on the ground for each pollutant are found.
