413 CenSARA - Control of Particulate Emissions (12/2/2024 - 12/5/2024)

Information

Description

Students successfully completing this course will understand the operating principles of particulate control systems
used at air pollution control sources. The scope of the course includes fabric filters, electrostatic precipitators,
particulate wet scrubbers, and mechanical collectors. Introductory material concerning particle aerodynamic
behavior and particle formation is provided as a basis for course materials on particulate control systems. This
course provides a foundation for later courses concerning source sampling, inspection, and permit review. A
scientific calculator is required for class exercises.

Who Should Attend

This course is a basic course that is designed for individuals within a regulatory agency whose role is to evaluate
particulate emission sources for permitting and to determine the ongoing compliance status of such emission
sources. This class is intended for new permit and compliance engineers and scientists who are responsible for
permitting and compliance activities.

Objectives

Leaning Objectives

Those completing this course will gain a basic understanding of the different types and the operating characteristics
of control devices that are available for specific particulate emission sources. Attendees will be able to perform
regulatory reviews involving the following elements of particulate emissions and control:
• Particle formation and behavior
• Particle size distributions
• Reverse air and pulse jet fabric filters
• Electrostatic precipitators
• Particulate wet scrubbers
• Hoods and fans effect on control equipment and process emissions
• Emission testing and monitoring

Pre-Requisites

Engineering/scientific degree or successful completion of Course RE:100 – Basic Concepts in Environmental
Sciences (7 modules), and six months of equivalent course/work experience.
