Source Sampling & CEMS Workshop Schedule |
|||
|
Overview: Walter S. Smith, the co-author of EPA Reference Methods 1-8, will lead the instruction of this workshop. The object of this 5-day seminar is for the student to understand the basics of the principles and practice of source sampling as well as to familiarize the student with the operation of stack sampling & CEMS equipment. It is targeted at those who need basic understanding of stack sampling such as environmental executives, environmental engineers, and those purchasing, observing, planning, or doing stack sampling or responsible for CEMS. The workshop will use EPA methods' 1-5 to teach the basics and then branch out to other topics. See Agenda This course will assist students in the review of source test and CEMS protocol and reports. The employee will develop the ability to plan, guide, evaluate, and perform source-sampling measurements to determine rates of emission from stationary sources and calibrate and audit CEMS. The course provides detailed review of EPA Methods 1 through 5 and other methods that may be encountered in the analysis of air source emissions. See Agenda The course develops: (a) knowledge of the stack testing equipment employed, (b) understanding of why the prescribed methods are used and (c) ability to perform and evaluate the calibrations and calculations that are a part of the reference methods. Instruction will relay heavily on use of the bias concept in evaluating stack-sampling data. Students will perform calculations on actual data of methods 1 through 5. |
