SUMMARY:Monitoring Compliance Testing & Source Test Observation -- In-Person Training
DESCRIPTION:COURSE BROCHURE \nThis lecture-based course is designed for state\, local and tribal air quality professionals whose role is to observe source testing\, evaluate source test methods\, approve test protocols and review source test results as required under various federal and state regulations or as required by issued permits. This class is intended for compliance and field engineers\, scientists and technicians who have responsibility for the above source testing tasks. \nThose completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with source testing and source test methods. This course develops the ability to plan\, guide\, evaluate\, and (after experience on the job) perform source sampling measurements to determine rates of emissions from stationary sources. It clarifies EPA Reference Methods 1 to 4\, and Method 5. The course develops knowledge of the equipment employed\, understanding of why the prescribed methods are established\, and ability to perform the calibrations and calculations which are a part of the reference methods. \nTo ensure that the source test methods utilized to demonstrate compliance are performed according to EPA guidelines\, both agency and industrial personnel will be required to observe stack tests to document that compliance with the methodology is being achieved. This will mean that an observer must be intimately familiar with numerous stack test methods\, each one with its own particular operation. \nTo Register Click: EPA’s AirKnowledge

SUMMARY:Virtual Training: Stationary Gas Turbines (TOXC 224)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE BROCHURE \nTARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for new\, inexperienced state\, local and tribal air quality professionals. \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Stationary gas turbines are popular as combined-cycles\, peaking power plants and cogeneration facilities. The course discusses the uses of gas turbines\, and 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. \nLEARNING 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: \n\nGas turbine history\, theory of operation\nGas turbine uses\nAir pollution control devices\nGas turbine regulations\nTypical permit conditions\nInspection procedures\nContinuous emission monitoring\nSource testing requirements\n\nTo Register Click: EPA’s AirKnowledge

SUMMARY:Virtual Training: Industrial Boilers (TOXC 226)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE BROCHURE \nTARGET AUDIENCE: This course is intended for new\, inexperienced state\, local and tribal air quality professionals. \nCOURSE 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. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the general information associated with industrial boiler operations.  Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the following elements of industrial boilers: \n\nAir Pollution – Why\nBoiler Uses\nBoiler Theory and Operation\nAir Pollution Formation\nAir Pollution Control Devices\nBoiler Regulations\nTypical Permit Conditions\nInspection Procedures\n\nTo Register Click: EPA’s AirKnowledge
