- Implement accurate biogas measurement and composition analysis
- Troubleshoot common operational issues in waste-to-energy projects
- Maximize energy recovery from organic waste streams
Trace Analysis and Instrumentation
Advanced Trace Contaminant Analysis Using GC-MS and ICP-MS
This highly technical course covers the principles and practical application of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for identifying trace contaminants in environmental samples.
Key Objectives
- Understand the fundamental principles of GC-MS and ICP-MS
- Prepare samples and operate both GC-MS and ICP-MS instrumentation
- Interpret complex analytical data to identify trace contaminants
- Develop and validate analytical methods for environmental samples
Water Quality and Compliance Training
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) & Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN)
This course focuses on the accurate measurement of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), using standard COD reactors and TKN analyzers. It emphasizes proper sample preparation and result interpretation for regulatory compliance in water quality testing.
Key Objectives
- Accurately measure BOD and COD to assess water quality
- Operate and maintain TKN analyzers for nutrient testing
- Perform correct sample preparation for compliance testing
- Interpret and report analytical results for regulatory purposes
