Visible Emissions Program
Smoke
School/Visible Emissions:
The objectives of this program are to explain why
plumes have opacity and to train people to measure opacity visually and
conduct certification tests in accordance with EPA Method 9.
Certificates will be issued to participants who pass
the certification test.
This
lecture/laboratory course covers the regulation and behavior of visible
emissions (plumes) from industrial processes, Fig. SMK1. Each individual's
ability to evaluate plumes will be tested, using a smoke generator. Those
who pass the tests will be certified in accordance with EPA Method 9.
