WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

MARAMA is offering training concerning air quality and oil and gas facilities intended for permit engineers, compliance engineers, and inspectors.  The course is designed to provide an overview of Petroleum Refining. The initial section of this course will introduce participants to the terminology, basic chemistry, and process related emissions common to petroleum refineries.  Participants will also be introduced to the many New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) and other air quality regulatory program requirements potentially applicable to a Petroleum Refinery.  This discussion will include the air pollutants of concern and common techniques.  The remainder of the course will focus on the four steps in the refining process – separation, treatment, conversion and blending.  In addition, emissions and the control of air pollutants associated with supporting activities (such as waste water collection and treatment, tank farms, and safety flares) will be discussed.
