1) STACK SAMPLING & CEMS WORKSHOP
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 hands-on 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 Course 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 rely heavily
on use of the bias concept in evaluating stack-sampling
data. Students will perform calculations on actual data
of methods 1 through 5.
Cost
Participants
will receive comprehensive workshop manuals containing all
workshop proceedings, current regulations, methods and selected
published papers. The cost of the Source Sampling Workshop
is $1,299. Each student will receive a workshop manual (~300
pages) and an up to date methods notebook (~400 pages).
It does not include hotel accommodations or meals. For answers
to specific questions about the course material, call Walter
