Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of an algorithm for selection dust and gas purification equipment in order to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the environment from emissions of the heat, power and chemical industries, which are sources of complex environmental pollution. The need for the research was necessitated by the inefficiency of environmental measures taken due to the huge number of devices with different designs for emissions’ purification, their non-universality and low efficiency of the purification systems. The main goal of the study was to develop a software algorithm for the reasonable choice of the optimal dust and gas purification equipment, taking into account the actual conditions of the technological environment and the characteristics of pollutants. The goal was achieved using a logical and mathematical description of the pollutant parameters, environmental conditions and process equipment parameters. The uniqueness of the developed algorithm consisted of rechecking the compliance of each equipment parameter with environmental conditions and pollutant characteristics. The most important aims were to obtain an algorithm for selection efficient equipment, taking into account its parameters and initial characteristics of pollutants and environmental conditions, the simplicity and accessibility of its implementation for a wide number of industrial facilities in the heat, power and chemical industries. The proposed algorithm, in contrast to the approaches used in practice, was characterized by the work flexibility due to the possibility of supplementing and improving the databases of pollutants and equipment.

Highlights

According to the degree of a chemical danger to humans caused by the atmospheric air pollution is of primary importance
To implement the software algorithm for selection the nature protection equipment in the spreadsheet editor environment, we will form a database of the studied parameters of the system for selection the dust and gas purification equipment in the form of separate spreadsheet tabs
To sum up the information on the database of pollutants, we present a database for specific pollutants of enterprises in the heat and power industry and the chemical industry in (Table 1)

Summary

Introduction

According to the degree of a chemical danger to humans caused by the atmospheric air pollution is of primary importance. In order to assess the degree of technogenic impact on the environment, considerable attention was paid to the study of pollutant emissions as a key factor in the formation of zones of ecological disaster. The production of electricity, heat and chemical industry products to meet the needs of society leads to an increase in the negative impact on the environment and increases the risk of diseases for the population [1–5]. The works of a number of researchers are devoted to the negative impact of thermal power plants and chemical enterprises on the atmospheric air and to the search for the ways to solve this problem [6–9]. Thermal power and chemical enterprises are severe sources of complex environmental pollution [10, 11]. Due to the imperfection of technological processes and the unsatisfactory operation of purification systems, gases at of these enterprises enter the atmosphere, which contain compounds of various toxicity, finely dispersed suspended liquid droplets, solid particles (dust) of the initial material and products, etc
