EV 740 - Air Pollution Control3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course presents strategies for waste minimization and pollution prevention and introduces the student to the concepts of air pollution control design, and the regulatory and environmental concerns that drive the air pollution control industry. Students are led through the design process from basic theory through practical application and case studies. The sources of air pollution and the available control options are presented and discussed in detail. Offered Winter-E term. (prereq: Graduate standing in MSEV program or department consent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• Understand the basic concepts of air pollution control regulations, including the regulatory emphasis on pollution prevention/solvent substitution strategies
• Develop air emission estimates for a variety of industrial and commercial sources of air pollution
• Develop preliminary design of air pollution control systems based on key operating and performance parameters
• Converse with regulatory personnel on matters of air pollution control including permitting, emission, estimates, compliance determination and compliance monitoring
• Converse with equipment vendors on matters concerning equipment specification and selection
• Understand basic concepts in air dispersion modeling as a tool for regulatory compliance and design
