What is it?

The Control Technology Series is a self instructional training tool. The training tool is designed to provide a basic overview to those unfamiliar with a variety of air pollution control technologies. The series is broken down into different types of equipment such as:

• wet scrubbers
• carbon adsorption
• incineration
• condensation
• electrostatic precipiators.

Some of the topics covered in the modules are:

• What the different types of devices are
• How they work
• How to tell if they are working correctly
• Causes of decreased performance
• Performance monitoring

Although this training tool is not intended as complete training in the inspection of these devices, it will provide a basic understanding of the different types of devices used. This series is available on CD, videotape (for some technologies) and as an executable file from the web.

The current series consists of the following topics:

• Electrostatic Precipitators
• Incineration
• Carbon Adsorption
• Wet Scrubbers
• Condensation
• Absorbers

	Contains Carbon Adsorption, Condensation, Absorbers, Electrostatic Precipitators, Wet Scrubbers, Incineration

Additional topics will be added to this list as they become available.
