This course introduces the categories of emissions and discusses methods used to control and/or collect the most prevalent and most commonly regulated primary pollutants and byproducts emitted by combustion processes in industrial-fired boilers and process equipment. Features DuPont Safety Solutions (now DSS+).

Course Objectives:

• Exercise proper safety precautions when operating emission control systems
• Classify the three basic categories of emissions
• Remove ash from the furnace using pneumatic or hydraulic systems
• Remove fly ash from the stack gases in boilers using mechanical collectors, electrostatic precipitators, and baghouses
• Understand the three general approaches used to control sulfur dioxide emissions
• Control the emission of nitrogen oxides produced in the combustion process
• Apply specific best practices to manage the energy consumption of emission control systems.
