SUMMARY:NOx Control/Regulation - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Who Should Attend: This course was designed to address the needs of tribal\, state\, and local air agency personnel involved in the permitting and compliance assessment of existing regulatory requirements as well as those personnel involved in the development of nitrogen oxide (NOx) control programs. This class is intended for new permit and compliance engineers and scientists who are responsible for permitting\, compliance\, and SIP planning activities. \nAbout the Course: This course presents fundamental information on NOx emissions from combustion sources such as industrial and utility boilers. The goal of this course is to present information that will help environmental professionals address present and future NOx control issues. The course introduces a broad range of control technology topics and identifies some of the sources for obtaining further information on these topics. \nLearning Objectives: Those completing this course will gain an understanding of the mechanisms by which NOx is formed in the combustion process as well as sources of NOx emissions and the history related to regulating NOx emissions from these sources. Attendees will be able to perform regulatory reviews involving the types\, applicability\, capability\, and limitations of available control techniques to suppress the formation of NOx emissions or to minimize NOx emissions. \nCourse Delivery: This is a virtual\, instructor-led training. \nCourse Brochure \nTo Register: EPA AirKnowledge
