Course Description from Graduate School Catalog:  

Prerequisite, ENVR 416 (Aerosol Technology).  Engineering control of air pollution control systems and discussion of air pollution regulations and standards.  
Spring (odd-numbered years).  3 credits. 

This is an engineering design course.  The objective of the course is to discuss engineering aspects of industrial gas cleaning.  The emphasis in this course will be control of particulate pollutants although we will touch on gas removal processes as well. When you have finished the course, you should be able to design an effective control system or to evaluate a design that someone else gives you. 

The class meets Monday and Wednesday at 10 a.m. in 2304 McGavran Greenberg, and Wednesday at 9 a.m. in 2306 McGavran Greenberg.    

This course is given in odd-numbered years.  Until 2003, this course carried the number ENVR 245.  In 2005, it was numbered ENVR 251.  In 2009 it is numbered ENVR 754.  

This course will not be taught after 2009.
