Energy Management for Motor Driven Systems This course provides the basis for establishing a facility energy-management program, to identify and evaluate energy conservation opportunities involving motor-driven equipment, and to design a motor improvement plan. The course materials focus on: Reducing energy costs, Improving motor-driven system reliability and efficiency, Increasing productivity, and Minimizing unscheduled downtime. In... Learn More
Effects of Oil and Chemically Dispersed Oil in the Environment This course was developed as a guide for oil spill response decision-makers and to provide an accurate summary of exposure and effects of oil and chemically dispersed oil in the marine environment. During both pre-spill planning and actual response, decision-makers are faced with many questions... Learn More
Hazardous Waste Identification This course provides a very organized approach to evaluate whether a given waste is a hazardous waste regulated by EPA under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The analysis begins with determining whether a given waste is considered a “solid waste” under the RCRA regulations and moving on to determining if... Learn More
Carbon Adsorption for VOCs This course focuses on the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from low to medium concentration gas streams, when stringent outlet concentration must be met and/or recovery of the VOC is desired. This course covers the types of adsorbers, adsorption theory, and design procedures for carbon adsorption equipment. This course is... Learn More
Introduction to Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids Light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) are hydrocarbons that exist as a separate, immiscible phase when in contact with water, and by definition have densities less than that of water. LNAPLs affect groundwater quality at numerous sites across the country, where they must be addressed when performing site remediation. In... Learn More
