Air dispersion models have been widely used to investigate patterns of air dispersal, to predict emissions behavior, to estimate potential risks to human health, to develop environmental management procedures and also to evaluate the impact of air quality on the dispersion. Some models, approved by regulatory agencies, work as a simulation tool for risk analysis purposes because in some countries only by performing a risk analysis like such an industrial facility is allowed to be constructed and to operate. This dissertation will relate the main pollutants produced by a petrochemical facility, a review of the main ar dispersion models available in the market and will present an air dispersion study case in a petrochemical facility considering the usage of AERMOD and OZIPR / SAPRC dispersion models. The petrochemical facility considered as a basic model will be the Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro, which should be installed in Itaboraí, which start up is planned for the year of 2012. According to the simulations in this work, the pollutant NOx presented the more critical results violating primary and secondary limits in some areas. Given this fact, ozone has become an important secondary pollutant to be analyzed. To make it simulation became possible, assumptions had to be taken due to lack of data to create scenarios that resulted sometimes legal limits violation, another times no violation. Nevertheless, these scenarios pointed to the same solution to minimize this formation of ozone: control volatile organic compounds emissions
