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.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- What is a cap and trade program
- Why is continuous monitoring necessary
- How is the Part 75 rule structured
- What is a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS)
- Requirements for Primary and Backup Monitoring Systems
- How are emissions and heat input rates determined from CEMS data
- When are corrections for stack gas moisture content required
- What if a unit has multiple stacks or shares a stack with other units
- What is a “gas-fired” or “oil-fired” unit and how is the SO2 mass emission rate calculated
- What are 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.
