415 CenSARA - Control of Gaseous Emissions (3/3/2025 - 3/7/2025)

Information
Description
Students successfully completing this course will understand the operating principles of gaseous control systems
used at air pollution control sources. Introductory material concerning gas stream characteristics, and sources of
gaseous contaminants is provided as a basis for this course. This course introduces control of nitrogen oxides and
sulfur oxides. This course provides a foundation for later courses concerning source sampling, inspection, and
permit review. A scientific calculator is required for class exercises.
Who Should Attend
This course is a basic course that is designed for individuals within a regulatory agency whose role is to evaluate
gaseous emission sources for permitting and 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.
Leaning Objectives
Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the different types and the operating characteristics
of control devices that are available for specific gaseous emission sources. Attendees will be able to perform
regulatory reviews involving the following elements of gaseous emissions and control: 1 Basic concepts of gas behavior, 2 Sources of gaseous contaminants, 3 Emission testing and monitoring, 4 Carbon bed adsorbers, 5 Thermal incinerators (or oxidizers), 6 Catalytic incinerators, 7 Absorbers, 8 Condensers, 9 Hood and fans effect on control systems
Pre-Requisites
Engineering/scientific degree or successful completion of course RE:100 – Basic Concepts in Environmental
Sciences (7 modules), and six months of equivalent course/work experience.
