Estimating Well Cost for Enhanced Geo System Applications This course provides a detailed description and analysis of enhanced geothermal system (EGS) reservoir performance. The economics of EGS systems is controlled by the interplay of a complex set of parameters: reservoir, geologic, drilling, well completion, plant design, and operation. In order to identify, analyze, and mitigate…
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…
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…
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…
