Air Pollution 24 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course begins with a thorough explanation of the background and history of air quality engineering, followed by discussions of what we know about air emissions, different ways they are calculated, air pollution control (APC) technologies and strategies, factors involved in their ground-level concentrations, and potential health impacts and ways to regulate air emissions. The course is designed to help you understand the basics of air quality engineering and understand its particular language, terms, and approaches.

Air quality is a major area of importance in environmental engineering. Contaminants emitted along an air pathway from industry have been shown to have a major adverse public health effect worldwide. As a result, many government agencies are promulgating and enforcing strict air quality rules, and industrial facilities are employing environmental engineers to minimize emissions, impacts, and exposure to the public. Growing research and case studies have demonstrated a greater understanding of air quality engineering. Strategies and technologies exist to accomplish these goals. There are few "black and white" solutions, however. Engineering decisions to reduce air emissions and impacts draw upon a strong understanding of the technologies available, their effectiveness, cost, and capability of causing auxiliary production and environmental problems.

This 3 PDH online course is intended for environmental engineers, design professionals, APC equipment manufacturers, machinists, inspectors, and construction workers who are interested in gaining a better understanding in air quality.

This online engineering PDH course presents the process descriptions of various styles of baghouses and air filter systems. Design and operating parameters are analyzed. The applicability of filter materials and operating principles are explained for a variety of uses.

Baghouses and other devises using fabric filters are used in industry as an effective pollution control devise for removal of particulate material within a captured air stream. 

This 5 PDH online course is intended for environmental and chemical engineers as well as other professionals working in the field of air pollution control. This course is also beneficial for a person with basic knowledge of air filter equipment and an interest in controlling particulate emissions. In this course, the reader will learn about the various filter options for controlling particulates and be able to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each as they apply to emission sources. 

This online engineering PDH course introduces the different types of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels commonly fired in industrial, commercial and institutional boilers. It describes the characteristics of fossil and non-fossil fuels with emphasis on coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and refuse-derived fuels (RDFs). This course also presents the principle emissions from combustion boilers that are regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA); mechanisms by which they are formed as well as the various control techniques for reducing them.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals, and manufacturers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the various boiler fuels and their emissions.

This online engineering PDH course describes the commonly applied ESP designs used to remove PM from stationary sources. Design and operating parameters are presented. Various ESP designs such as Plate-Wire, Flat Plate, Wet ESPs, and Tubular ESPs are reviewed in this course.

Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are used to remove fine particulate matter from contaminated air steams. In these devices, an electrical force is generated to move the particles out of the flowing gas stream and onto collector plates for particulate emission control. There are different configurations and types of ESPs designed and operated for removal of particulate mater (PM).

This 6 PDH online course is intended for environmental and chemical engineers as well as other professionals working in the field of air pollution control. It is also beneficial for a person with basic knowledge of air pollution control equipment and an interest in controlling particulate emissions. In this course the reader will learn about the theory of ESP particle removal and how it is applied to actual ESP designs;  the conditions for particle removal and its effects on ESP equipment selection; and optimizing ESP operation.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on a common problem facing environmental engineers and that is how to evaluate and treat an odor problem. Odors are not always toxic, but the nature of odors often causes people to act emotionally and demand that the source be eliminated. However, the nature of odorous compounds is that even a very low concentration can trigger detection or other reaction.

This course describes the nature of odorous compounds, how they are detected, their typical sources, and approaches and technologies commonly used to control them. It presents the factors and information necessary to assess an odor situation and how to approach it. It provides an overview of how to proceed in treating an odor episode and presents real life situations.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers involved at the facility level to determine how to technically approach an odor episode and treat it effectively.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance on how to approach the need to reduce air emissions from your sources, an area of growing concern. It describes the initial approach to reducing air emissions, such as understanding applicable air regulations and air permits to determine which pollutants must be reduced and by how much. The best method to reduce air emissions is to optimize your processes so that your facility is producing fewer emissions. When this is no longer feasible, end-of-pipe technologies are necessary.

This course also presents the factors and information necessary to determine whether a strategy is technically feasible in your application or not. It provides an overview of a number of conventional air pollution control equipment, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as basic information necessary for their design.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to chemical and environmental engineers as well as energy professionals involved with the compliance of air quality regulations and permits and the implementation of air pollution minimization programs.

This online engineering PDH course describes what air toxics are, where they come from and how they can impact people and the environment.  The course also discusses steps being taken by the EPA to reduce emissions of air toxics from major industrial sources.

Air toxics are those air pollutants that are know or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health problems.  Each year, millions of tons of air toxics are released into the air.  The Clean Air Act has provided the primary framework for protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of air pollution.

This 3 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers who are interested in understanding more about air toxics, where they com from and how they can impact people and the environment.
