What will be the new requirements and what should we be doing now is the focus of the Five-day workshop which brings together industry, environmental consultants, and the regulators to envision the upcoming requirements for the different industries, the available technologies and their best use with the objective of increasing industry’s preparedness to face the impending changes. By taking part in this workshop, you will enhance your understanding of the potential regulatory compliance requirements to implement the emission reductions.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• apply prevention and control techniques with a thorough understanding of the emission formation process
• evaluate the effectiveness and select the most suitable emission reduction system for your requirements with the knowledge gained at the conference
• reduce cost by using the critical points in inspecting an emission control system for compliance with the required standards
• make assessment of the effectiveness of alternate technologies, plans, and specifications
• use effective methods for installation of emission reduction and control technologies already proven successful by others

• Plant managers
• facility engineers
• environmental and engineering consultants
• EHS managers and staff
• facility operators
• regulatory personnel
• environmental scientists 

• Regulation related to air emissions
• Permitting and projects
• Emissions measurement and calculation
• Impact assessment – monitoring and modelling
• Estimation and reporting of GHGs
• Emission control system design
• Case studies
