Abstract

The paper presents general aspects regarding the impact that the activities of producing electrical and thermic energy at S.E. Craiova II, have upon the environment. It was taken into consideration only the pollution caused by the evacuation of the emissions of solid and gaseous pollutants contained in the burning gasses. The burning gasses resulted from the technological process are evacuated in the atmosphere through different installations such as gas canals, burning gasses ventilators and dispersion stacks. The main purpose of the dispersions stacks is to ensure the dispersion and to maintain the pollutants level in the limits of the admitted values. For establishing the model of transport and dispersion of pollutants in atmosphere, there were taken into account the meteorological, topographical factors and also those factors that are related with the pollution source. The results, presented as pollutions maps, were obtained through processing, interpretation and by comparing the experimental data from year 2007 with the European and national environment standards and normative. The mathematical modelling of pollutants dispersion revealed a small level of imissions, and that is mainly because of the height of the burning gasses emissions stacks.
