Continuous Emission Monitoring
In Continuous Emission Monitoring , you'll learn ...
- What is Part 75 and who must comply with it
- How a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) must be monitored
- Methodology for monitoring gas-fired and oil-fired units and peaking units
- Low mass emissions (LME) methodology
Overview
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established stack monitoring requirements under various programs including the Acid Rain Program (ARP), the NOx Budget Trading Program (NBP), the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR).
This course summarizes the monitoring requirements under each of these rules and outlines certification testing and QA/QC standards. The material provides a general overview of the EPA Part 75 Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) regulations and clarifies the technical provisions.
This course will be beneficial for engineers responsible for complying with the rule, as well as any professional working in the field of air pollution control who wants a general understanding of the emissions monitoring approach used in EPA’s emissions trading programs.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define a cap-and-trade program.
- Explain why continuous emissions monitoring is necessary.
- Describe the structure of the Part 75 rule.
- Define a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS).
- Identify the requirements for primary and backup monitoring systems.
- Determine emissions and heat input rates from CEMS data.
- Explain when corrections for stack gas moisture content are required.
- Describe monitoring considerations for units with multiple stacks or units that share a stack.
- Define gas-fired and oil-fired units and calculate the SO2 mass emission rate.
- Identify the fuel sampling requirements of Appendix D.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 40 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
