Air Pollution Control for Industrial and Utility Applications (Virtual Course)
Tuesday, April 26 and Thursday, April 28, 2022 • 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
This course covers design, operation, testing and troubleshooting air pollution control systems to control particulates, organic vapors, PFAS/PFOS, dioxins, acid gases, aerosols, metals, NO, SO2, SO3/H2SO4 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, 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.
