Course Description
This basic course is designed for individuals within a regulatory agency whose role is to evaluate combustion sources for permitting to determine the ongoing compliance status of such emission sources. This class is intended for new permit and compliance engineers and scientists who are responsible for permitting and compliance activities.
Learning Objectives
Students completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the different types of combustion sources and the operating characteristics of each source. Attendees will be able to apply the following combustion elements in a regulatory evaluation.
- Combustion sources burning gaseous, liquid and solid wastes
- Combustion sources burning fossil fuel
- Combustion engines (diesel engines, gas turbines, etc.)
- Combustion principles
- Design and operational parameters
- Selected fundamental calculations
- Pollution control devices
Students successfully completing this course should have the knowledge to work on combustion-related pollution problems such as estimating the actual and potential air pollution emissions from combustion sources; reviewing applications for permits to construct combustion facilities; and developing recommendations to improve the performance of malfunctioning combustion equipment.
