Clearing the Air: dispersion modelling for a mining client
An industrial facility faced potential non-compliance due to emissions affecting nearby residential areas, schools and other sensitive receptors.

Iodine and hydrogen fluoride emissions exceeded acceptable thresholds under RCER-2015, creating regulatory and community risk.
Project Environmental Workstreams
Baseline assessment
Baseline air quality and meteorological conditions established for the site.
AERMOD dispersion modelling
Dispersion scenarios modelled to trace pollutant fate and concentration.
Sensitive receptor analysis
Residential areas, schools and other sensitive receptors identified and assessed.
Mitigation design
Emissions controls designed around Best Available Techniques.
Regulatory coordination
Findings coordinated with regulatory bodies and local stakeholders.
How Staterra supported the project
Staterra assessed air quality risks, modelled dispersion scenarios and developed mitigation strategies aligned with national regulations and sustainability initiatives. We identified the sources of air quality risk and translated complex dispersion modelling into practical mitigation actions, working closely with the operator to align emissions control measures with regulatory limits while protecting nearby communities. Our involvement ensured compliance was achieved through measurable reduction, not temporary fixes.
Key Deliverables
Air quality baseline assessment
Dispersion modelling reports
Mitigation and control recommendations
Long-term monitoring framework
Impact & outcomes
Pollutant concentrations at sensitive receptors fell by 60%, bringing the facility into compliance with RCER-2015. Green buffer zones introduced as part of the mitigation design support Saudi Green Initiative targets, and a long-term monitoring framework now enables adaptive environmental management.
