Plume dispersion research at natural-gas sulphur-extraction plants / G.K. Lee, H. Whaley and J.G. Gainer.: M38-1/265-1973E-PDF

"The rise and dispersion have been determined for four plumes emitted by three natural-gas sulphur-extraction plants in Alberta. This report describes the data acquisition techniques employed and gives a preliminary evaluation of the results. At one plant, two plumes were studied, one under inversion conditions and the other under limited mixing conditions. One plume from each of the other two plants was studied under neutral conditions. The results indicate that the standard deviations of plume spread cannot be reliably estimated for limited mixing conditions and that plume behaviour is strongly influenced by local topography"--Abstract.
