Continuous Emission Monitoring Guide
The online engineering PDH Part 75 continuous emission monitoring rule, found in 40
The Acid Rain Program regulates electric generating units that burn fossil fuels and that serve a generator greater than 25 MW. For such units, Part 75 requires continuous monitoring and reporting of SO2 mass emissions, CO2 mass emissions, NOX emission rate and heat input. The SO2 component is a "cap and trade" program, designed to reduce acid deposition by limiting SO2 emission levels in the "lower 48" states of the
This 8 PDH online course is intended for energy, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and civil engineers. However, this course could appeal to engineers of other disciplines as well. An attendee of this course will gain knowledge about EPA's Part 75 Continuous Emission Monitoring rule and details of how it is implemented.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding of the Part 75 Rule
- Knowing who is required to comply with the Part 75 Rule
- Knowing the basic components of the cap and trade program
- Knowing why continuous monitoring is necessary
