418 Control of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions (1999)

3-day lecture course
2 CEUs

Course Description
This course presents fundamental information on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from combustion sources such as industrial and utility boilers.  The goal of this course is to present information that will help environmental professionals address present and future NOx control issues.  The course provides technical information concerning the mechanisms by which NOx is formed in the combustion process.  It also presents information on sources of NOx emissions and provides an overview of the history of the regulation of NOx emissions from these sources.  Finally, the course presents information on the types, applicability, capability, and limitations of available control techniques to suppress the formation of NOx emissions or to minimize NOx emissions.  The course introduces a broad range of control technology topics and identifies some of the sources for obtaining further information on these topics.

In addition, the manual that accompanies the course contains a bibliography of technical articles and publications on all control technologies addressed in this manual.  This manual also lists web sites that are useful in obtaining additional information related to the control of NOx emissions from combustion sources.

Desired Background
Engineering/scientific degree or successful completion of Course RE:100 and six months of equivalent work experience. This course was designed to address the needs of Tribal, state, and local air toxics personnel involved in the development of NOx control programs as well as those personnel involved in the enforcement of existing regulatory requirements.
