Nitrogen Oxides - Abatement and Control
Raymond Ehrhard, P.E.
Overview
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a very important family
of air polluting chemical compounds. This course explains why NOx are important
air pollutants and how NOx are formed and react in the atmosphere. This course
also includes the principles on which all NOx control and pollution prevention
technologies are based, available NOx technologies for various combustion
sources, and performance and cost of NOx technologies.
In this course the student will learn of the
various control strategies and be able to evaluate the advantages and
disadvantages of each as they apply to combustion sources and fuel types. The
course will be beneficial for a student with basic knowledge of EPA air
pollution regulations and an interest in controlling NOx emissions from
combustion sources. It is also an excellent overview for those professionals
working in the field of air pollution control.
The student is expected to read and review the
material contained in Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Why and How They Are Controlled,
USEPA Clean Air Technology Center, EPA 456/F-99-006R.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of
twenty (20) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
