COURSE TITLE: CO2 Emission Reductions from Changes in Electricity Generation and Use
COURSE NO: H11-001
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
CO2 Emission Reductions from Changes in Electricity Generation and Use
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an introspective look into reducing CO2 emissions through comprehensive multi-sector and electric models.

 

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) represents a significant legislative commitment to transform energy production and consumption, reduce the risks of climate change, improve environmental quality, and simultaneously spur investments that create economic opportunities. This course presents results from state-of-the-art multi-sector and electric sector models to assess how the IRA’s provisions reduce CO2 emissions.

 

This course is responsive to section 60107(5) of the Low Emissions Electricity Program within the IRA, which requires EPA to assess “... the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that result from changes in domestic electricity generation and use that are anticipated to occur on an annual basis through fiscal year 2031.” This course primarily focuses on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions because the vast majority of direct electric sector GHG emissions are from fossil fuel combustion and the increased use of clean electricity primarily offsets fossil fuel use in end-use sectors.

 

This 11 PDH online course is applicable to environmental and civil engineers, as well as others who are interested in gaining insight on CO2 emissions, and the solutions to reduce the negative effects of emissions.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Familiarizing with the emission reduction in multi-sector and electric sector models
  • Gaining a general overview on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
  • Familiarizing with the economy wide CO2 emissions analysis and results
  • Learning about the key IRA provisions for the electric sector, the transportation sector, the building sector, and the industry
  • Understanding sector analysis and results for electric sector, transportation sector, building sector and industry
  • Learning about the different ways each sector can potentially contribute to air pollution and CO2 emissions

COURSE TITLE: A Guide to Composting Toilet Construction
COURSE NO: M01-020
COURSE PROVIDER: Allen Hughes, P.E.
A Guide to Composting Toilet Construction
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course presents the advantages of composting toilets over other systems such as latrines, water-sealed toilets and septic systems. In addition, this course discusses the construction process and the type of materials for composting toilets used in Tonga, Kiribati and Fiji.

 

In places lacking modern toilets and sanitation, latrines are used as temporary storage for human waste. The latrines are often emptied into the nearest body of water, which may also serve as a water supply. Composting toilets can provide a sanitary method of waste treatment in areas without running water or electricity. One of their greatest advantages is that they can be built anywhere, and usually for low up-front costs, making them excellent choices in rural or remote areas and undeveloped areas.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to civil and mechanical engineers, aid workers and others involved in the planning or construction of projects in areas with limited sanitation infrastructure.
Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • Familiarizing with the steps in constructing foundation slabs, chambers, ET beds, toilet house floor slab, false door, and access door
  • Understanding the operation and maintenance of Composting Toilet
  • Familiarizing with technical drawings of Composting Toilet Construction
  • Learning about the technical specifications of Composting Toilet Construction

COURSE TITLE: UV Disinfection Options for Wastewater Treatment Plants
COURSE NO: C08-006
UV Disinfection Options for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course will provide a detailed evaluation of ultra violet (UV) technology as an alternative to conventional chemical disinfection methods used at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).

 

Chlorination has been the preferred disinfection method used for treating WWTP effluent, but concerns about chemical releases, public safety, and the potential for chlorinated effluent to be toxic to aquatic life have caused municipal managers to consider other options.  Although chlorine, sometimes followed by dechlorination, continues to be used at many municipal WWTPs, use of other means, such as UV disinfection, is increasing. UV is a technology capable of providing effective WWTP effluent disinfection while reducing safety and environmental toxicity issues.

 

There are many factors that must be carefully considered to verify that UV facilities are safe, reliable and economical. These issues include the cost of power and lamp replacement, lamp fouling, ability of the water to allow transmission of UV radiation, tailing, photoreactivation and regrowth of disinfected microorganisms, and dose selection.

 

This 8 PDH online  course is intended for wastewater treatment engineers and environmental professionals seeking to gain an understanding of UV disinfection technologies. This course is also an excellent overview for those environmental professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment. A complete description of UV science is described along with its application to the disinfection of wastewater.  The three major UV technology options are fully presented and compared.  Results of a pilot demonstration are looked at to give the reader a real world example for evaluating UV technologies as an option for disinfecting wastewater at an existing plant.

Learning Objectives

This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

  • General requirements of the USEPA Clean Water Act 
  • UV science
  • Current UV disinfection technologies used in wastewater treatment
  • Variations of alternative lamps and UV equipment
  • Design and dose requirements of UV systems  
  • O&M  requirements and costs of UV systems
  • Support information for determining UV disinfection options
