SUMMARY:Stationary Gas Turbines (TOXC 224)
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual\, instructor-led training \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\, 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 log onto EPA AirKnowledge \nCourse Materials \nCourse Brochure

SUMMARY:Industrial Boilers (TOXC 226)
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual\, instructor-led training \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 \nindustrial 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 log onto EPA AirKnowledge \nCourse Materials \nCourse Brochure
