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

What Are Fugitive Emissions FEMS?

 What Are Fugitive Emissions? The term, fugitive emission, as used in air quality control, generally refers to any emission escaping from regulated processes (sources) other than via the designed release point (smoke stack, etc.). The point source for a fugitive emission is simply called "a leak." These leaks and emissions are most often associated with the equipment necessary for the movement of process fluids and gasses. The term "fugitive" is used because these emissions are neither calculated in the source design, captured by the emission control equipment/systems, nor are they detected through normal equipment monitoring processes. Since these emissions bypass control equipment, they are also referred to as "uncontrolled enlissions."

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
