  2. Environmental management EMIS: An advanced Environmental Management System for industrial estates, free economic zones and individual enterprises (ISO 14001 compliant). Automatic, fully integrated, ICT solution for: • environmental planning, assessment, • compliance monitoring • impact assessment as well as • emergency management for groups of co-located enterprises in industrial parks or zones.

  3. ESS GmbH, Vienna, Austria Environmental Software & Services GmbH: • Founded 1995 from the Advanced Computer Applications (ACA) group of IIASA, Laxenburg • Staff of 8-15 • Turnover < € 1 M • Highly specialised, world wide projects

  4. ESS GmbH Mission: Applied Systems Analysis to integrate • Environmental sciences • Socio/techno economics • Information technology, AI Environmental Management Information Systems Monitoring, Planning, Management for a “better world”:Sustainable development, efficient resource management, environmental quality, public and environmental health, regulatory compliance, having fun.

  5. Application domains: • Urban and industrial air quality • Water resources management • Technological risk management • Regional and urban development • Land use change dynamics • Impact assessment (EIA/SIA), • Strategic planning: climate change, energy systems • Operational control, resource management optimization • EIS, public information systems • Technical training (eLearning) • eConsulting, eGovernment

  6. User interface examples

  7. Management orientation: Web Based implementation: distributed remote access, advanced ICT: • Customized function and user interface • Shared information basis (consistency) • Cooperation between companies (cumulative impacts) • Address regulatory requirements • Direct integration of economic criteria (economic efficiency, net benefit) • Public information option

  8. Environmental management EMIS: An advanced Environmental Management System for industrial estates, free economic zones and individual enterprises (ISO 14001 compliant). Automatic, fully integrated, ICT solution for: • environmental planning, assessment, • compliance monitoring • impact assessment as well as • emergency management for groups of co-located enterprises in industrial parks or zones.

  9. EMIS Business model eConsulting solution: • Flexible, effective and cost efficient through outsourcing (hardware, operations, support) • Web-based, easily accessible, shared yet centralized client-server tools, • state of the art ICT hardware (high performance cluster computing) • subscription basis without the need for investment, and fully supported scientific software solutions.

  10. EMIS main functions Administrative data bases of • enterprises, plants, production units; • emission sources (air, water, solids, noise) • MSDS and hazardous substances data base; • storage, containers, warehouses • Industrial waste streams, technologies • Monitoring data analysis (RT sensors) • Embedded GIS for the industrial estates and surrounding environment and population, etc.

  11. EMIS main functions Real-time model supported monitoring • now-casting) and reporting (continuous,user defined periods up to multi-annual) • continuous regular forecasting (up to 120 hours) • environmental impacts from • normal operations (atmospheric and aquatic/marine releases, waste streams and hazardous waste, noise) compliance reporting, • alerts and alarms based on monitoring networks, cascading advanced 3D dynamic simulation models and real-time expert systems technology • Industrial accidents (emergency management).

  12. EMIS main functions • ISO 14001 EMS compliant pre-audit checklists and evaluation support; • Emission control optimization tools including GHG and CO2e. • risk assessment and emergency management in the case of accidental release of hazardous materials, fires, BLEVE/explosion; • model based scenario analysis and environmental impact assessment (for atmospheric, aquatic, soil and groundwater, coastal marine systems, noise, solid waste), population exposure, health impact analysis (workforce and surrounding environment and population);

  13. EMIS implementation web-based, distributed client-server system, shared by both a central EHS operator at the industrial zone or estate level and any number of individual enterprises or production plants.

  14. Hierarchical structure INDUSTRIAL ESTATE or park, free zone (top level parent object), which contains any number of individual • PLANTS or enterpriseswhich contain • Production units, reactors, machinery, containers, warehouse, waste streams containing • Hazardous substances Main user: HSE at the free zone level Optional: major companies (emitters) Included: all companies that major amounts of resources, generate non household waste, use/store hazardous substances

  15. Access control Multi layered access (different levels of R/W privileges, different user interface and functionality for different users) by • User name (group) password (128 bit) • Router/firewall: • Domain, IP, VPN (restricted local INTRANET) • User management/tracking • Transaction logs (DB access, changes) • Reports and statistics

  16. Real-time operation Real-time control functions (SCADA) • rule-based expert system • Automatic tasks: scheduled, events • Maintains data integrity and quality • Workflow control: always up-to-date • Error messages: alerts and alarms by eMail, fax, or SMS to selected operators

  17. EMIS functional components • Industrial plants and enterprise data base • Containers and storage units • Emission inventories • Hazardous chemical, MSDS • Environmental technologies • Industrial processes and waste streams • ISO 14001 and EIA • Real-time monitoring • Simulation models • Air quality • Risk assessment, accidents • Coastal water quality • Embedded GIS

  18. Embedded GIS • Web-based MapServer: • MapSet: domain definitions • MapOverlays: • Individual map laysers • Map catalog: • showing/selecting maps • map/overlay import • Map composition: • build maps interactively • Background selection: • by object/class/scenario

  19. Plant and enterprise data base EMIS has a hierarchical structure of two or more levels: • Industrial estate or park, free economic zone defined primarily geographically • Individual enterprises and production plants within the zone and their components: • containers, hazardous substances, waste streams

  20. ISO 14001, EIA Checklists for interactive evaluation (pre-audit or continuous, operational EMP monitoring), Starts with five main levels: • Environmental policy • Planning and preparation • Implementation and operations • Monitoring, corrective actions • Management review applies to both the entire industrial zone as well as any enterprise within !

  21. ISO 14001, EIA Implemented using rule-based expert systems (AI) artificial intelligence technology to support users in the evaluation procedure by logical inference.

  22. Emission inventories Compiles emission data from Industrial plants, production units: • Atmospheric with stack parameters • Aquatic • Noise Production related, linked to chemicals data base, input for dispersion models

  23. Hazardous substances, MSDS Hazardous chemical data base • 700+ industrial chemical profiles • Physical, • Chemical, • Health, • Environmental parameters Linked to waste streams, simulation models

  24. Industrial waste streams 150+ industrial waste streams (CMA, US Resource Recovery and Conservations Act (RCRA) linked to • production processes of plants, reactors, • hazardous chemicals data base (MSDS) • applicable waste treatment technologies.

  25. Simulation models: • Interactive : scenario analysis • Automatic (scheduled): • every day (24/48 hour forecasting) • every hour (now-casting) • Meteorological forecasts (3D prognostic), air quality models (3D photochemical, Gaussian (regulatory) • Dynamic emission modelling

  26. Simulation models: • Meteorological forecasts (up to 120 hours, downscaled from continental/regional models) • Atmospheric dispersion and impact assessment: regulatory, 3D dynamic photochemical, near-field (CFD) • Risk assessment, industrial accidents • Coastal water quality

  27. Meteorological forecasts: • 3 level nesting from GFS global models; • Using prognostic 3D dynamic models (MM5, WRF); • Directly coupled to • air quality (e.g., CAMx) and • oceanographical models (ROMS/TOMS, POM) for surface forcings
