SUMMARY:Virtual: Industrial Boilers (TOXC 226)
DESCRIPTION:TUESDAY\, OCTOBER 20\, 2026\nPACIFIC TIMES\n9:00 am Introduction/Overview\n9:15 am Terminology & Boiler Types\n9:30 am Theory & Operation of Boilers\n10:00 am Break\n10:15 am Boiler Components & Designs\n11:00 am Break\n11:15 am Emissions and Control Techniques\n12:00 noon Lunch\n1:00 pm Boiler Regulations & Permits\n2:00 pm Monitoring\, Source Testing\, Inspections\, and Safety\n3:30 pm Adjourn \nABOUT THE TRAINING COURSE \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• Air Pollution – Why\n• Boiler Uses\n• Boiler Theory and Operation\n• Air Pollution Formation\n• Air Pollution Control Devices\n• Boiler Regulations\n• Typical Permit Conditions\n• Inspection Procedures \nClick: Course Brochure
