This is a virtual, instructor-led training
TARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for new, inexperienced state, local and tribal air quality professionals.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Stationary gas turbines are popular as combined-cycles, peaking power plants and cogeneration facilities. The course discusses the uses of gas turbines, fundamentals of operation of modern turbines with emphasis on state-of-the-art controls to achieve some of the lowest emission concentrations for this source category. The course also discusses combined cycles with HRSG units, steam turbines and power generation. This is followed by a detailed discussion on emissions and control techniques such as Dry Low-NOx combustors with staged combustion, water or steam injection followed by SCR and CO catalysts. Applicable federal and local BACT regulations, permitting requirements, and agency inspection procedures and safety concerns are thoroughly discussed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with stationary gas turbines plants. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the following elements of stationary gas turbines:
- Gas turbine history, theory of operation
- Gas turbine uses
- Air pollution control devices
- Gas turbine regulations
- Typical permit conditions
- Inspection procedures
- Continuous emission monitoring
- Source testing requirements
