Abstract Information :

This research focuses on the comprehensive monitoring of methane emissions in coal power plants, employing real-time monitoring techniques to address environmental and health concerns. The objectives of this study encompass the accurate measurement of ambient emissions, the identification of meteorological influencing factors, proactive leak detection and mitigation, comparative analysis of immission and emissions from neighboring facilities, contribution to scientific knowledge, and the provision of emission reports with regulatory guidance. To achieve these objectives, continuous fence line monitoring is implemented at three strategic installation points around the coal power plant. The monitored parameters include methane concentration, multi-gas levels (CO2, NO2, NH3, VOC), and weather conditions (wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall). Additionally, particulate matter (PM 0.1, 2.5, 10) is measured at each point. This method ensures a holistic understanding of the emissions profile and environmental dynamics, allowing for the precise measurement of pollutant levels and the identification of contributing factors. The study aims to enhance understanding of the dispersion patterns of emissions influenced by meteorological variables, contributing valuable insights to environmental dynamics. Proactive measures for leak detection and mitigation will be implemented to address potential environmental impact. Furthermore, a comparative analysis between emissions from the coal power plant and neighboring facilities will be conducted, providing a comprehensive perspective on local pollution sources and their effects. The research intends to publish a scientific paper detailing the findings and methodologies, thereby contributing to the broader scientific community's knowledge on methane emissions monitoring in coal power plants. Additionally, the study will deliver a comprehensive emission report to coal power plant management, accompanied by actionable recommendations to ensure regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility. This holistic approach aims to facilitate informed decision-making for sustainable and responsible coal power plant operations.
