445 Inspection of Particle Control Devices (2003)

3-day lecture course
2 CEUs

Course Description
This course presents fundamental procedures for particle control device inspection, problem diagnosis and compliance evaluation. Site-specific information is used to identify shifts in operating variables that indicate a potential for increased emissions. The baseline inspection approach is presented, and operating principles and inspection techniques for particle control devices (cyclones, fabric filters, wet scrubbers and electrostatic precipitators) are discussed. The use of portable instruments for gathering inspection data is also presented, and the preparation and use of flowcharts to organize and evaluate inspection data is discussed. Written and video case studies are used to reinforce the material.

Major topics

• Baseline inspection techniques
