Who Should Attend: This is an introductory course designed for agency inspectors, permit writers, and regulation developers who have the responsibility to review air pollution control devices.
About the Course: This course will provide a detailed introduction to air pollution control equipment and methods used to control particulate and gaseous air emissions. The course will cover theory, operation, applications, design considerations, inspection strategies, compliance assurance monitoring and regulations for cyclones, baghouses, wet and dry scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, carbon beds, bio filters, condensers, flares, thermal and catalytic oxidizers. NOx controls like selective catalytic reduction (SCR), selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR), flue gas recirculation (FGR), and ultra low-NOx burners will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives: This course is designed to give attendees a basic understanding of the different types and operating characteristics of air pollution control devices that are available for particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, acid gases, and hazardous air pollutants. Course topics include:
- Background on ideal gas law and capture and control of air pollutants;
- Particulate controls, including separators, fabric filters, scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators;
- Volatile organic compound controls, including minimization, oxidation, condensation, adsorption, and absorption;
- Carbon monoxide controls, including minimization, catalysts, and oxidation;
- Acid gas controls, including prevention, absorption, and adsorption; and
- Parametric monitoring of air pollution control equipment.
Course Delivery: This is a virtual, instructor-led training.
