Services

Enviroware is specialised in the development and application of environmental simulation models. It has a relevant role in this field, as testified by the list of clients and the scientific publications.

Air

Enviroware provides a wide spectrum of services for assessing the impact of air pollution:

• Preparation of regional emission inventories based on the CORINAIR methodology
• Estimate of road traffic emissions based on the COPERT 3 methodology
• Estimate of emissions from construction sites (dozers, graders, cranes, scrapers, well drillers...)
• Estimates of biogas emissions from landfills
• Estimates of air emissions from waste and wastewater using computer codes endorsed by governmental agencies (e.g. US-EPA's WATER9)
• Meteo-climatological analysis (monitoring network measurements, METAR data, limited-area models), also for the preparation of input data for air dispersion models and for the evaluation of the wind power potential
• Impact simulations of atmospheric emissions from different types of sources (industrial plants, cooling towers, offshore platforms, ...) using computer models of proven validity and endorsed by governmental agencies (CALMET/CALPUFF, AERMOD, ISC3ST, ISC3LT, ISC3 PRIME, CALINE, CAL3QHC, OCD5, SACTI...)
• Simulation of photochemical pollution using widely known models (CALGRID2, CAMx, ...)
• Simulations of odour impact due to the emissions from landfills, food industries, chemical and petrochemical industries, farms, ...

Industrial risk

Enviroware provides consultancy to relevant risk industries and to the industries that use flares for burning fuel-off gases and as safety devices.

• Relevant accidents: a consequence analysis is made for an hypothetical accident. In case of fire (pool fire, jet fire, fireball) the thermal radiation is estimated, in case of explosion (UVCE) it is evaluated the overpressure, and the concentration field is calculated in case of releases of gases and toxic or flammable heavier-than-air vapours. The domino effect is also evaluated.
• Industrial flares: it is estimated the correct sizing of flares (according to API practice 521) based on the chemical and physical properties of the gas that is burnt. Moreover, it is estimated the thermal and acoustical impact of the flare to assess the areas at risk, also with probabilistic methods.

Software development

Enviroware is specialised in the development of environmental software (simulation systems, graphical user interfaces for mathematical models, ...) for desktop and internet. The software development is always preceded by a deep analysis of the problem and a detailed design, and it is made using the programming language that best fits the case (Visual Basic, Fortran, Perl, PHP, IDL, Java, ASP). Every software is tested in depth and has detailed manuals and on-line help features. Enviroware can also support the user in the initial phase of use of the software.
Enviroware can create vectorial archives (SHP, DXF, DWG, KML formats) and raster archives from complex structures of alphanumeric data. Enviroware processes environmental data in order to allow their visualisation in Google Earth.
