Metallurgical plants are one of the major industrial pollutants emitting mainly gases (SO₂, NO_x and CO₂) and particulate matters containing heavy metals. The objective of this study is to compare two situations, regarding the SO₂ emissions before and after the installation of the desulphurization system at a metallurgical plant. Two different sets of simulations were performed, considering a three days period for which meteorological data was available. The simulation results were compared to national SO₂ air quality limits. The results show a significant decrease of SO₂ concentrations after the installation of the desulphurization system, situated well within legal limits. Another objective of this study is to compare qualitatively the concentration data obtained from modelling with data measured on-site by a point-monitor.
