Fine Particle Control in Emissions to Meet New EPA Requirements

Fine Particle Control in Emissions to Meet New EPA Requirements is one of ten short courses that the American Filtration and Separation Society (AFS) will be offering during its 20th Annual Conference being held March 26-30, 2007 in Orlando, Florida.

 

Fine Particle Control in Emissions to Meet New EPA Requirements is an eight hour course that is being held 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on March 26th. Attendees are awarded a certificate with .8 CEUs.

 

With this course you will understand the EPA’s new PM 2.5 Ambient Air Quality standard. Know the state of PM 2.5 enforcement activities. Learn how to best measure and control the PM 2.5 stationary source emissions.

Dr. McKenna authored the baghouse text along with Jim Turner and currently writing one on fine particle measurement & control. He is a founder (1973) and principal of ETS Inc. ETS does testing (bags), trouble shooting (baghouses), training (online and in-person baghouse training) & testimony (baghouse expert witness).

 

The training course will cover:

Fine Particle Emission

PM 2.5 and Ozone Trends

Current Legislation

Ambient Data Analysis

Health Effects

Emission Measurement Methods

Emission Control Methods

Environmental Technology Verification Program

Cost Considerations

Warranties

Enforcement and Risks

 

Following the AFS short courses is the AFS 20th Annual Conference that consists of dozens of technical presentations on filtration and separation. The conference runs March 27-29. The event is co-located with the WQA Aquatech 2007 exhibit that runs March 28-30.
