Class Length: 3 – day lecture course
INSTRUCTOR: Jerry Crowder, Ph.D., P.E.
Course Description
This course will present fundamental procedures for the inspection, problem diagnosis and compliance evaluation of gas control devices and significant industrial processes. Site-specific information will be used to identify shifts in operating variables that indicate a potential for increased emissions. The baseline inspection approach will be reviewed. Operating principles and inspection techniques for gas control devices (adsorbers, oxidizers and condensers) and specific control applications (flue gas desulfurization and nitrogen oxide control systems) will be presented. Process descriptions and inspection issues will also be discussed for fossil fuel fired boilers, waste incinerators, iron and steel processes, and asphalt plants. Written and video case studies will be used to reinforce the material.
Prequisites
Engineering/scientific degree or successful completion of SI: 422 – Air Pollution Control Orientation Course, or equivalent courses/work experience.
Target Audience
This course is specifically designed for field inspectors who have the initial responsibility to evaluate and determine the compliance status for gaseous emission sources with control devices. This class is intended for compliance engineers, scientists and technicians who are responsible for inspection of control devices at particulate emission sources.
Note: This course would be a great introduction on control technologies for new staff!
