Potable Water - Membrane Filtration Overview A membrane is a material capable of separating substances when a driving force is applied across the membrane. Relative to traditional potable water treatment processes that focus on liquid-solid separation, membranes are more effective at removing dissolved contaminants from source water. Thus, the popularity of membrane filtration has increased as drinking water standards have become  more...

Energy Management for Motor Driven Systems Overview A common misconception within industry has been to equate an energy reduction or conservation program with the concept of turning off equipment and shutting down processes. Instead, the program of energy management challenges plant staff to produce the products or services with the absolute minimum energy consumption. The objective is to minimize energy usage through production  more...

Fundamentals of Combustion for Environmental Applications Part 2 ...nd examples guides the student to an understanding of the equipment and processes of burning systems. The course begins with the basic combustion process for solids, liquids and gases We then move through the combustor from waste feeding and burners, the enclosure, fans and the stack. Basic process features such as the fluid mechanics of jets, residence time distributions and heat transfer are  more...

HVAC - Concepts and Fundamentals Overview HVAC helps keep people comfortable and healthy by maintaining good indoor air quality, humidity and comfortable temperatures. Designing for comfort requires integrated knowledge of human physiology, heat transfer, psychrometrics, and mechanical systems. Most professionals don't learn this stuff in school or on the jobsite, but are expected unrealistically to meet your physiological needs  more...

Introduction to World Class Machine Maintenance Methods Overview Worldwide competition for consumer goods has placed enormous burdens on American manufacturing companies to improve their productivity or lose market share. Companies have responded in recent years with improvements in the way they manage suppliers, inventories, planning, manufacturing, and even the methods used for design and development of products. Although these changes have proved  more...

Safety-Reliability-Risk Assessment Failure Modes and Effects Analysis FMEA This course discusses failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) of equipment, systems and processes. Analysis procedure, documentation, and benefits and limitations are described. An example problem is solved. No prior knowledge of systems safety-reliability-risk analysis is required to understand this course. The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of fifteen (15) questions at  more...

Application of Psychrometrics to Heating and Cooling Psychrometry is the study of moist air. It is significant in terms of thermal comfort and is a major consideration in the design of air conditioning systems. Air conditioning engineers use the psychrometric chart to predict changes in the environment when the amount of heat and/or water in the air changes. A psychrometric chart provides a convenient way to look at the air conditioning processes  more...

HVAC Cooling Load Calculations and Principles Heating and cooling load calculations are carried out to estimate the required capacity of heating and cooling systems, which can maintain the required conditions in the conditioned space. To estimate the required cooling or heating capacities, one has to have information regarding the design indoor and outdoor conditions, specifications of the building, specifications of the conditioned space  more...

Fluid Power Part 2 - Hydraulic Power Units Fluid systems are utilized in many engineering systems like machine tools, heavy machinery, chemical processes, automotive equipment, aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. All fluid systems involve the use of power unit comprising of pumps, valves, piping, tubing, and hoses used to convey fluid under pressure. This 6-hour course provides general information on the types and applications of  more...

Thermal Spraying Technology and Applications Overview Most manufacturing and industrial equipment suffers heavy wear rates owing to their service conditions. Thermal spray coatings impart high-quality wear resistant properties to the base metal, which the base materials do not necessarily have. Thermal spraying is a surface coating technology by which metallic or nonmetallic materials are deposited in a molten or semi-molten condition onto  more...

Fundamentals of Arc Welding Overview Qualified welders are needed in different branches of metal and building industries, as well as in pipelines, automotive, aircraft ? and shipbuilding industries. Simply stated, welding is a process of permanently joining materials (usually metals) through localized coalescence resulting from suitable combination of temperature, pressure and metallurgical conditions. Depending upon the  more...

Electrostatic Treating of Emulsions Overview This course covers the process of electrostatically treating water-in-oil emulsions in order to coalesce, separate and remove the water from the oil. The produced water associated with oil recovered from beneath the earth is not a marketable product and can corrode and foul downstream production equipment. While much of the produced water can be removed using conventional separation  more...

Engineering Sketching for Design and Communication Sketches are a used to communicate engineering: ideas, solve problems, innovate, and plan activities. Graphics is a universal language. A picture is still worth a thousand words. Engineering requires graphics in the form of: Flow Diagrams, Performance Graphs, Schedule Bar Charts, P&ID? s, Electrical Schematics, HVAC drawings, Control Diagrams, Product Drawings, Production Equipment Drawings,  more...

Assuring Project Quality The implementation of major engineering projects usually begins with the development of conceptual feasibility studies followed by the performance of site selection and suitability investigations, the development of site-specific designs and finally by the construction and operation of the structures or facilities in question. It is not unusual for such major projects to take a decade or longer to  more...
