Port Vessel Emissions Model: a computer model for calculating vessel air pollutants. Volume 2. User's manual. Final report, October 1984-December 1986
Port Vessel Emissions Model (PVEM) is a computer program that calculates air-pollutant emissions associated with vessel activity in ports for various operational scenarios. PVEM was developed for implementation on an IBM-PC or MS-DOS microcomputer equipped with 300K of available Random Access Memory. PVEM calculates fuel combustion-related pollutant emissions from marine engines resulting from vessel cruising, transit, maneuvering, hotelling, tug assistance, and recreational-vessel usage. PVEM also calculates hydrocarbons released to the atmosphere during liquid bulk loading/offloading, ballasting, lightering, and bunkering. Pollutants calculated are nitrogen oxides (NOx), total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO/sub 2/), and particulate matter (PM). PVEM can easily be adapted for application to any port through the use of port-specific input data on vessel movements and berth pathways. Volume II, the User's Manual, is a guide to the use of PVEM software and a technical description of the model. Volume III, the Workbook, is a manual method for calculating vessel emissions without the use of a microcomputer.
