DESCRIPTION:

This webinar is on design, operation, testing and troubleshooting air pollution control systems to control particulates, organic vapors, PFAS/PFOS, acid gases, aerosols, metals, NOx and CO. The interactions between the front-end process and the back-end APC are covered in detail. Controls include cyclones, baghouses, venturi scrubbers, wet and dry acid gas absorbers, oxidizers, carbon adsorbers, ESPs, mercury removal, and SCR/SNCR for NOx. Design principals are provided for sizing components. Troubleshooting of systems is provided, along with input on how to design components to avoid outages and failures. The 45 years of the presenter's experience will aid the attendee in avoiding costly mistakes.

Day 1

Title: Air Pollution Control - Applications and APC Equipment

• Overview of air pollution control applications and emissions (bulk solids, combustion, VOCs from tanks, transfers, utilities, steel, cement, and manufacturing, etc.)
• APC Systems, dry, wet, electrostatic, oxidizers, coalescing mist eliminators, hoods, fans
• PM, NOx, PFAS, PFOS, VOCs, opacity, and acid gas control; combustion systems

Day 2

Title: Air Pollution Control Spec Writing, Permitting & Troubleshooting

• Writing performance specs, detailed specs to procure APC systems, heat & mass balances       
• Permitting, engineering pretests, compliance stack testing, dispersion modeling
• Troubleshooting APC systems, controls, specific components, and ID fans
