Course Overview

Learning Objectives of Emission Capture and Gas Handling

• The student will be able to delineate a process flow sheet and describe the pollutants, how they are generated, and what can be done to prevent or reduce their quality and quantity.
• The student will be able to:
     1. List the type of hoods and describe how each functions and the proper operation.
     2. State the transport velocities needed in ducts and determine friction and SP losses.
     3. List the classes and types of fans used and important fan law relationships.
• Measurement:
  The student will develop hands-on skills in the use of instruments such as the pitot tube and manometers to make valid measurements of SP, VP, and TP, and interpret the results as to the operation of the collection facility.
• Through demonstration the student will develop the ability to apply principles and measurements to address problems arising in the capture and collection system and how to resolve these operational problems.
• Inspection:
  By practice in the laboratory, field, and by demonstration, the student will:
      1. Develop skills in observation of emission capture and gas handling systems
      2. Be able to critically assess the operation through interpretation of measured parameters and to:
           a. Judge what the problems may be
           b. Determine their location
           c. Solve the problem
• The student will be able to apply the principles and practices of source sampling to the activities and responsibilities of an official observer.
• The student will be able to describe the facility operation and operation cycle, carry out a pre-test meeting, develop a testing protocol including methodology, test site requirements, supporting needs, safety, and sample handling, check calculations, prepare a final report, and detail all items to be checked during observation of a source sampling test.
