Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Developed Dispersion Model to Port of BrisbaneSanaz Jahangiri, Natalia Nikolova, Kiril TenekedjievThe emissions from vessels utilising heavy fuel oil include large amounts of nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter, presenting significant health risks to people living near ports. To determine the effect of these emissions on human health, complex atmospheric dispersion modelling using CALPUFF assesses ground-level concentrations at receptors surrounding the sources. This paper demonstrates the application of the methodology … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2018 · 8,359 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConceptual Design, Analysis and Construction of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Arial Vehicle for Oil and Gas Pipeline SurveillanceAliyu Bhar Kisabo, Charles Attah Osheku, Sholiyi Olusegun SamuelOil and Gas Pipelines consists of pipes, compressors and pumps. These are frequently located in environments that are difficult to monitor and secure (e.g., creeks and remote areas). Attacks or damage to such installations can lead to enormous ecological impact and loss of revenue.
