BASC107: Control Devices (formerly NACT 299)
November 7-8, 2023
COURSE DESCRIPTION
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 ultralow-NOx burners will also be discussed. This course includes a field trip to a local facility to observe controls in-person, and affords an opportunity for students to interact with facility operators. Personal Protective Equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, and closed toed shoes (preferably safety toed) will be required.
TOXC226-VI: Industrial Boilers (formerly NACT 273)
November 9, 2023
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Boilers are one of the most common emission sources and range in use from small fire tube boilers to large utility boilers associated with power plant facilities. The course discusses uses of boilers, heat transfer methods and fundamentals of operation of modern industrial and utility boilers including those fired by natural gas, biomass, municipal waste and coal (circulating fluidized bed units). The course also discusses steam turbines and power generation. This is followed by a detailed discussion on emissions and control techniques such as Low-NOx burners, FGR, staged combustion, SCR and SNCR. New technologies such as Ultra Low-NOx 9 ppm burners, applicable federal and local BACT regulations, permitting requirements and agency inspection procedures and safety concerns are thoroughly discussed.
AGENDAS will be available in the LMS and on MARAMA’s website in the near future.
