Controls for Aftertreatment Devices Course

Learn how to achieve regulatory compliant levels of vehicle emissions through a deep understanding of exhaust aftertreatment system components.

Engineering Calculations for PSM and RMP Course

Engineering calculations are an integral part of OSHA’s process safety management (PSM) standard and the EPA’s risk management plan (RMP) rule. Calculations are needed to establish whether a given process is subject to these two regulations and factor into the regulatory framework in supporting the design, operation, and risk assessment of ammonia refrigeration systems. This course is your opportunity to learn the engineering calculations that are necessary for properly documenting industrial refrigeration systems, to help ensure their regulatory compliance.

Leadership Beyond Your Team: Managing Up and Across Course

Many management courses, including our own course: Managing Technical Teams, teach you how to deal with direct and indirect reports. To be successful, however, you also need to manage (or strongly influence) the behavior of those who are at your level or higher. But they may not understand your needs or may be indifferent to them. In this course, you will learn how to make yourself heard when you do not have direct authority, and how to change others’ behavior to make them reliable partners in your programs and projects.

Nutrient Removal Engineering: Phosphorus and Nitrogen in Wastewater Treatment Course

Phosphorous and nitrogen present significant issues for today’s wastewater treatment engineers, managers, and regulators. With new and revised regulations, many treatment plants need to further reduce the discharge of effluent nutrients to surface waters to limit the growth of algae and other aquatic vegetation. Learn the principles and the latest technologies to help manage nutrients in your own system and projects.

Principles and Practices of Mechanical Integrity for Industrial Refrigeration Systems Course

Learn the latest recommended practices to manage the mechanical integrity of industrial ammonia refrigeration systems. The course will emphasize refrigerant piping and pressure vessels but mechanical integrity practices for other components will be presented as well. You will be able to immediately apply what you learn in this course to ensure the ongoing reliability and safety of industrial ammonia refrigeration systems.

Essentials of Drinking Water Treatment Course

Clean and safe drinking water is one of the most important assets in any city or community. This course will provide you with a good working knowledge of current water regulations, technical principles, recent technology developments, and case study examples so you can improve your organization’s water treatment facilities, operations, and future projects.
