Effects of Oil and Chemically Dispersed Oil in the Environment
Course number
EN-02-260
PDH credits
5
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
Course number
EN-02-200
PDH credits
3
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…
Carbon Adsorption for VOCs
Course number
EN-02-110
PDH credits
4
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…
Introduction to Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids
Course number
EN-02-102
PDH credits
3
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…

Mechanical Design of Overhead Lines
Course number
EE-08-947
PDH credits
8
Mechanical Design of Overhead Lines Author: Velimir Lackovic Electric power can be transferred either by underground cables or overhead lines. The underground cables are not commonly used for power transmission for two main reasons. Power is transferred over long distances to load centers and the installation costs for underground transmission is significant. Secondly, electric power…
