Air Pollution Control Technology from Industrial Activities Course
Introduction:
As awareness regarding different facets of air quality intensified in the latter half of the century, power generation became increasingly associated with significant environmental challenges, including particulate matter, sulphur, nitrogen, and more recently, carbon emissions. Almost every major sector within the industry has raised substantial environmental concerns. Fortunately, a diverse array of technologies exists to mitigate emissions from power plants, capable of removing over 90% of all emissions. Additionally, cleaner generation technologies, particularly those based on the natural gas industry, offer alternative solutions.
Course Objectives:
The aim of the course is to give an understanding of air pollution concepts. Specifically, the candidate will:
- Understand the general philosophy behind air pollution
- Define the criteria pollutants: its sources, how to control them, and their effect on human health and the environment.
- Be familiar with different processes related to control the vapors (absorption, adsorption, incineration, biological oxidation).
- Be familiar with different processes related to control particulate matter (settling champers, cyclones, filters, electrostatic precipitators).
- Be familiar with alternatives to control SOx emissions.
- Understand the best practice to reduce NOx and its relation to Ozone formation.
- Be familiar with meteorological aspects of air pollution including dispersion and dissipation.
- Gain knowledge about the causes of the main indoor air pollutants.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers of all disciplines, Mechanical Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Process Engineers, Equipment Specialists, Technical Engineers, Safety Engineers, Design, and Planning Engineers. In addition to natural Scientists in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, who are interested in learning the principles of pollution prevention and control.
