Determine Sources Of Air Pollutants For Mitigation And Regulatory Compliance Actions for Industry
Emissions inventories are an essential input to mathematical models that estimate air quality. The effect on air quality based on the release of emissions by Industries need to be assessed and predicted so that the necessary regulatory controls can either be applied or modified. This would allow the Industry and the Regulatory bodies to plan a structured reduction in pollutant emissions.
Providing and predicting information on pollution and emission levels, along with recommended interventions and identification of pollutant sources, can be delivered by the Vāyu Darpan suite of Tools.
Actionable Information
- Empowering users with specific knowledge and data pertaining to the emissions

Vāyu Darpan - Use Case
As a
diagnostic tool
Industry leaders and organizations aiming to safeguard Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) interests of their communities can use Vāyu Darpan-EIT to track and manage the emissions contributions of their various industrial equipment, processes and systems. It provides a simplified and automated way to manage emissions in real-time and ensure compliance to pollution regulations

Safeguarding Employee Health and ensuring EHS compliance
A major Automotive-parts manufacturer has been coming under increasing pressure from government and citizen groups who are pushing for the manufacturer to comply with pollution control regulation.
These groups are citing instances of smog and aerobic ailments to citizens from
surrounding areas. The manufacturer hopes to address this issue and avoid adverse effects to the neighboring community, while avoiding hefty fines and levies due to the government for environmental violations.
The manufacturer would also like to use this as an opportunity to safeguard the Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) of its employees and demonstrate its concern for the wellbeing of its staff and communities.
However, the manufacturer faces the challenge of finding and quantifying its major pollution-emitting processes and equipment. Additionally, the manufacturer would need to replicate these outcomes across its various facilities and plants across the country. Traditional approaches are difficult to standardize across locations and are extremely capital and time intensive.
Approach to the Solution
- Use existing Facilities Management knowledge to inventorize all equipment and processes in operation within manufacturing plant
- Use Vāyu Darpan-EIT to establish emission profiles and contributions of equipment and processes
- Spatially distribute and visualize these emissions to identify emission hotspots and EHS danger-zones
- Leverage interactive Dashboards to view and manage emission sources in real-time and stay in compliance with regulation
- Leverage SaaS delivery models to seamlessly replicate and standardize emission control processes across all facilities and manage them centrally
Stakeholders and Beneficiaries
- Citizens impacted by pollution, Automotive manufacturer, Other Industrial Units and Government Regulatory bodies
- Citizens and Employees gaining positive health outcomes because of reduced pollution levels
- The manufacturer benefits by avoiding violations and penalty levies, and can also use the experience to replicate it at similar locations
- The Government regulatory body benefits as they can use the acquired data and information for application in other Industrial hot spots and also use it for policy formation
Short Term Impact
- Immediate reduction of pollution emissions from manufacturing operations
- Citizens and employees being exposed to reduced levels of pollution
- Centralized, real-time management of emissions across various manufacturing plants
- Cost-avoidance from Environmental, Health and Safety violations
Long Term Impact
- Valuable health benefits and improved quality of life for citizens and employees
- Shared accountability and coordination between government, citizens and industries towards addressing pollution and Climate Change
- Replicable strategy that would encourage other industries and organizations to adopt similar approaches
Vāyu Darpan - Use Case
As a
Planning tool
Vāyu Darpan Emission Planner and Predictor enables scenario simulations that allow industries and organizations to assess their future actions and stay aligned with evolving environmental regulations. Users can input their information regarding their planned developments and operations into Vāyu Darpan-EPP and forecast their impact on emissions

Planning and executing sustainable growth initiatives
This automotive-parts manufacturer is experiencing a very sudden increase in demand for its products. Initial forecasts indicate that this increased demand is likely to be sustained for the foreseeable future.
The demand has increased to such an extent that the manufacturer is forced to choose between increasing its production capacity with more resources and equipment, or to increase its manufacturing lead time and risk losing some of its orders.
The manufacturer must make the decision in careful consideration of potential new revenue, while also taking into account Environment Health & Safety (EHS) regulation.
To audit and survey its equipment and processes, by hiring scientific consultants, the manufacturer risks loosing potential revenue increases.
Approach to the Solution
- Use Vāyu Darpan-EIT to assess emission contributions from existing processes and equipments and verify their compliance with EHS norms
- Assess quantum of increase in pollution emmission because of planned enhancement in production capacities
- Use Vāyu Darpan-EPP, to modulate equipment and process capacities and simulate emission impacts of these adjustments
- Compare assessed pollution emission values against prescribed regulatory limits
- Make informed decisions which balance economic and environmental considerations
Stakeholders and Beneficiaries
- Citizens impacted by pollution, Automotive manufacturer, Other Industrial Units and Government Regulatory bodies
- Citizens and Employees gaining positive health outcomes because of reduced pollution levels
- The manufacturer benefits by avoiding violations and penalty levies, and can also use the experience to replicate it at similar locations
- The Government regulatory body is a beneficiary as they can use the acquired data and information for application to other Industrial hot spots and also use it for policy formation
- Industrial hot zones can be planned effectively for the implementation of new manufacturing units in identified geographical locations which can lead to sustainable growth
Short Term Impact
- Developing a sustainable revenue growth plan
- Cost-savings on EHS violations and fines
- Employee and citizen health and safety
- Shared accountability and coordination between government, citizens and industries towards addressing pollution
- Immediate replication of action plans to other industries and organizations that can adopt similar approaches
Long Term Impact
- Valuable health benefits and improved quality of life for citizens and employees
- Shared accountability and coordination between government, citizens and industries towards addressing pollution and Climate Change
- Replicable strategy that would encourage other industries and organizations to adopt similar approaches to safeguard Health and Environmental interests of society
- Implementing a profitable and sustainable growth plan
