  • Clean Air: Control of Nitrous Oxides

    Credits: 4 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a very interesting and important family of air polluting chemical compounds. This course explains why NOx are important air pollutants and how NOx are formed and react in the atmosphere. This bulletin also discusses the principles on which all NOx control and pollution prevention technologies are based; available NOx technologies for various combustion sources; and performance and cost of NOx technologies.

    Topics:

    • Why should we control NOx
    • What is nitrogen oxide
    • Where does NOx come from
    • How does NOx affect the environment
    • Other NOx related issues
    • Abatement and control principles
    • Available abatement methods and technologies
    • External combustion: pollution prevention methods
    • Combined technology approaches
    • Internal combustion: pollution prevention methods
    • Do fuel and combustion type affect abatement
    • Cost associated with NOx abatement and control
