OPTIMIZING AND TROUBLESHOOTING AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM
21 - 22 SEPTEMBER 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme develops a practical approach to optimising and troubleshooting industrial air-pollution control systems. Participants examine suction hoods, ducting, dust collectors, scrubbers, fans and chimneys, learning how to identify performance gaps and improve system reliability, emission control and environmental compliance. Practical examples and guided discussion help participants connect the subject to decisions and challenges in their own workplace.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain how hoods, ducting, fans, collectors, scrubbers and chimneys interact as a system.
- Assess capture velocity, airflow, pressure loss and air-to-cloth performance.
- Identify design, operating and maintenance conditions that reduce control efficiency.
- Use performance data and field observations to isolate system problems.
- Optimise suction, duct, fan and dust-collector operation within practical constraints.
- Develop corrective actions that restore control performance and compliance.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for environmental managers, engineers, technicians, plant operators, maintenance teams and auditors responsible for air-pollution control system performance and compliance.
