Since individual refineries and petrochemical facilities are uniquely configured, the techniques, which comprise a collection of operational, equipment and procedural actions, may not be applicable to every site. To better understand emission impacts, both ambient air quality monitoring and modeling is used. Dispersion modeling is sometimes conducted on specific emission sources to evaluate off-site potential concentrations.
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Addressing the implications of International Environmental Protocols
- Reviewing their air emission and waste disposal practice in the context of growing environmental awareness.
- Obtaining performance improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system.
- Forecasting emissions scenarios and developing specific control performance and good practices.
- Auditing an inventory and computer and other air emission modeling.
- Providing options for delegates in developing their organization’s air and waste management practice.
- Planning and conducting an environmental impact analysis of their organization.
