In this 2-hour course, you will become aware of the resources and tools available online that can help you expedite the air quality permitting process, where you can go to access them, how to put them into action now, and what paradigm shifts are to come in the future for air quality permitting.

To determine if a project triggers federal or state permitting requirements or the current BACT for a facility, data is needed to answer these questions and many more. The permit application must contain justifications for all selections, claims, and decisions or the permitting review process gets bogged down. Learn what technologies are available today and which ones can be leveraged in the not too distant future that will accelerate the permit application preparation and review processes.

Topics Covered

• Air Quality Permitting Process
• Air Emissions Inventory Data
• Ambient Air Monitoring Data
• Air Quality Permitting Data

The workshop would provide an overview on delineation and remediation of both hydrocarbon and saltwater contaminated soils. It will cover the major mechanisms that contribute to environmental degradation of soils due to contamination by these two constituents. These include toxic substances, hydrophobicity of soil, osmotic imbalance by dissolved solids as well as sodicity of soil. Course will include approaches to delineation of spill with considerations for both economics and diligence. Finally, it will include remediation strategies with an emphasis on in-situ strategies.

Topics Covered

• Soil Remediation
• Accidental Releases
• Spills
• Hydrocarbon Contamination
• Saltwater Contamination

An in depth look at LDAR Basics from a fresh perspective.

An innovative approach to LDAR workshops and current LDAR training content, including:

1. Expert-Level Training by EPA Regulators, Industry Experts, and Consultants

2. Interactive Breakouts, including a CD Termination forum with terminated consenters

3. Live broadcasts/interviews with EPA/agency officials to discuss emerging compliance technologies and initiatives

Offered by FLIR Systems, this course covers the regulatory framework for optical gas imaging, the OGI certification process, how to use the IR camera to find leaks, how optical gas image is a combination of art, science, technique, and interpretive skills, and the basic safety practices for doing an OGI inspection.

This workshop will provide attendees with an understanding of the regulatory requirements and compliance deadlines associated with MACT Subparts CC and UUU promulgated February 1, 2016, collectively known as the Refinery Sector Rule. Specific regulatory requirements for storage vessels, process vents, fenceline monitoring, flares, catalytic cracking units, and other refinery process units (e.g., sulfur recovery units, reformers, and cokers) will be highlighted. This workshop will address the compliance challenges facing refineries with regard to these regulatory changes by providing real world examples. Although some compliance deadlines have passed, we will present possible tasks and a roadmap to achieve future compliance.

4C training partner Hydromantis will present this introductory course designed to grow your knowledge of the fundamentals of wastewater emissions.

From the basic structure of relevant air regulations, to the tools available to accurately estimate and model your wastewater emissions and help you reduce your emissions credits, TRI reductions, and much more! Learn the essentials and gain hands-on experience in this course designed to benefit compliance coordinators, compliance engineers, and new & existing Toxchem™ users.

This one-day course is intended to provide basic to intermediate level wastewater training to managers, engineers, and technical support personnel involved in the operation and/or oversight of industrial activated sludge systems, particularly in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries. While the majority of the material will focus on understanding, monitoring, and optimizing biological treatment systems, the course will also cover the history and rationale of industrial wastewater treatment; pretreatment technologies; wastewater characterization; and treatability assessments.

Topics Covered

• Introduction and Historical Perspective
• Wastewater Constituents and Pretreatment Approaches
• Wastewater Characterization and Treatability Studies
• Biological Treatment and the Eight Growth Pressures
• Basics of Activated Sludge Treatment
• Wastewater Microbiology and Microscopic Examination
• Nitrification and Denitrification
