PROJECT EXPERIENCE SECTION OF THE QSTI/QSTO

PROJECT EXPERIENCE SECTION OF THE QSTI APPLICATION - EXAMPLE  - For those persons who have taken the exam (or plan to) and are preparing their applications for submittal to the QSTI Review Committee, the project experience section may prove a little open-ended. What are “they” looking for? How much information should I include? Do “they” want a copy of a test report? First, definitely do not send in any test reports. The committee is not equipped to handle such confidential business information. What the committee does need is information about your experience and knowledge sufficient to demonstrate that you can conduct a test project successfully and produce reliable results. As a guideline for completing this element of the application, the QSTI Review Committee has provided two examples for your use. The components of these examples coincide with those outlined in the SES application form. Group II Application (example 1)  Project One  EPA Method 7  I led a project to measure NOx em

Dual Detectors FID and PID

Dual Detectors

The benefits of each individual detector are very clear: both the FID and the PID have their advantages and disadvantages. However, with either detector alone, the number of organic and inorganic vapors that one can detect is limited by the measurement capabilities of that detector.
With the TVA-1000B, users can obtain complete information about more organic and inorganic vapors more quickly and easily than with single detector technology alone.
Since both detectors may be displayed and logged simultaneously, the relative response of the two detectors may give some clues about the identity of the compound being measured. For instance, the PID does not respond to methane at all, but the FID responds very well. A high FID reading with virtually no PID response might indicate the presence of methane. Consequently, PIDs respond very well to some inorganic gases that FIDs cannot detect. A high PID reading with no FID reading might suggest the presence of an inorganic compound. With readings from both detectors readily available, the TVA-1000B can help a user make decisions about the type of compound present and which detector reading to use.

Benefits of Dual Detectors

♦ Cost-effective packaging
♦ Detector response ratios can help characterize compounds
♦ Enhanced analytical capability derived from simultaneous detection

Sources of Air Pollution are four mobile sources, stationary sources,point sources andarea sources

 Sources of Air Pollution In discussions of air pollution sources, four terms are routinely used:  Mobile sources  Stationary sources  Point sources  Area sources  Mobile sources Mobile sources are generally related to transportation. Mobile sources are not included within the general parameters for fugitive emissions and, therefore, will be given no further consideration in this course.  Stationary sources Stationary sources define emission sources that are fixed and include all forms and types of manufacturing, chemical and petroleum processing, power generation, and small business facilities. Point sources A stationary point source refers to any place within a facility from which emissions are possible. For a given facility, a stack may be one point source. An emission leak within a process is also considered a point source. An automobile or a truck would represent a point source or mobile source. Area sources Area source refers to any one of several sources contributing to the air
