| description | Industrial hygiene is an important aspect of any workplace environment, especially for the industrial domain. A previous study has shown that high ammonia levels were present in a wastewater treatment facility in Romania. The initial ventilation strategy was not efficient in maintaining pollutant concentrations within standard safety limits. An optimization of the initial ventilation system was realized, but CFD results and on-site measurements have shown that high local concentrations were still present. Two local exhaust methods have been proposed and analysed in order to improve the quality of the air inside the hall. A CFD approach has been used for the preliminary design process. The results indicate that both local exhaust solutions offer great improvements over the general dilution-based system, but only one can be applied. |
