DHI PlumeCast now supports pollutants discharge assessments

Assessing pollutant discharge from marine outfalls is a persistent challenge for environmental consultants, regulators and marine engineers. Tight permitting deadlines, stricter regulations and limited data add complexity, while reliance on specialised modellers or external expertise can slow the process even further.

The new Ecological module in DHI PlumeCast changes that. 

Designed for professionals without modelling expertise, it provides a simpler, more transparent way to evaluate pollutant impacts and streamline compliance assessments. As a cloud-based marine plume dispersion application, DHI PlumeCast links ecological processes with hydrodynamic models, enabling users to assess discharges and spills, evaluate water quality and run scenarios—all from a single platform. The result: streamlined permitting, clear communication with stakeholders and greater confidence in demonstrating compliance.

Flexible modules for all types of plume assessments
Alongside the new Ecological module, DHI has enhanced its proven Sediment module. This solution equips dredging contractors, consultants and port or coastal developers to plan, forecast and manage sediment spill dispersion, reducing risks to sensitive habitats and supporting environmentally responsible operations.

From complexity to clarity
Whether you’re managing pollutant discharges from marine outfalls or sediment spills from dredging projects, DHI PlumeCast simplifies workflows, enhances clarity and helps you meet regulatory requirements with confidence and efficiency. Backed by DHI’s modelling expertise, the application provides clear visualisations and impact assessments that strengthen communication, inform decisions and enable teams to stay on schedule and on budget while safeguarding the environment.
