This work presents the implementation of a low cost computing system for the forecast of the atmospheric pollutant dispersion generated in petroleum platforms in Campos Basin - RJ. A mesoscale meteorological model was used to complement the necessary meteorological database for the use of the dispersion model. To this meteorological model, a series of statistical tests were applied seeking to compare the behavior of the model face to the monitored data available. The results indicated that the meteorological model represented satisfactorily the wind field on the area and that the values foreseen for the concentration of pollutant SO2 were always below the effective patterns however, they indicated that there is transport of pollutant from producing units to the continent.
