COURSE TITLE: Environmental Quality and Border Security: A 10-Year Retrospective
COURSE NO: C04-060
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Environmental Quality and Border Security: A 10-Year Retrospective
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on environmental quality and protection in the context of existing and proposed border security infrastructure and measures.

 

Border security is an important national priority, and environmental protection in the border region is of critical importance, given the rich natural resource endowments of the region. The shape and form of security infrastructure installed along the border is a critical factor affecting these areas of special concern. Additional installation of security infrastructure along the border will have a large impact on the region, presenting both challenges and opportunities to enhance security while preserving or even improving environmental sustainability.

 

There are mainly five key overlapping challenges in which environmental protection intersects with border security. These include, tourism and recreation economy; habitat integrity and wildlife corridors; water management; flooding, trash and sediment control; Hazmat and emergency response; and air quality.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers who are interested in learning more about improving border security infrastructure while preserving environmental sustainability in the region.
Learning Objectives

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

  • Familiarizing with the overlapping challenges between border security and environmental protection
  • Gaining a general overview on the demographic and economic context in the border region
  • Understanding the environmental protection and border security context
  • Learning about the challenges and opportunities presented in the region

COURSE TITLE: In Situ Thermal Remediation - Part 1
COURSE NO: C09-006
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
In Situ Thermal Remediation - Part 1
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the appropriate screening and selection of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies, including steam enhanced extraction injection, electrical resistivity heating, and thermal conductive heating.

 

A significant number of sites are contaminated with high level of organic contaminants. These contaminated sites include hundreds of Federal installations and thousands of private facilities. The contaminants in these sites, especially non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL), have been difficult to treat with conventional technologies such as groundwater extraction, bioremediation and soil vapor extraction. More aggressive technologies have been sought to address these conditions. These technologies include in situ chemical oxidation, surfactant/solvent flushing, and ISTR methods. ISTR methods represent the most aggressive and effective of these techniques.

 

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, geologists, hydrogeologist and soil scientists who are interested in improving their knowledge on the appropriate use of in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) technologies.
Learning Objectives

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

  • Familiarizing with site characterization data necessary for the screening and designing of remediation systems using the three ISTR technologies (TCH, ERH, SEE)
  • Gaining a general overview of multiphase flow and multi-component mass transfer in the subsurface and how elevated temperatures can enhance these processes for the removal of contaminants
  • Learning about technology screening and feasibility studies for ISTR
  • Understanding bench and pilot scale studies to determine if ISTR is an appropriate means to remediate a site

COURSE TITLE: In-Situ Air Sparging
COURSE NO: C14-001
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
In-Situ Air Sparging
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for evaluation of the feasibility of in-situ air sparging (IAS) for remediation of contaminated groundwater and soil. This course also describes design and operational considerations for IAS systems.

 

In-Situ Air Sparging (IAS) is a rapidly emerging remediation technology for treating contaminants in saturated zone soils and groundwater. It is a relatively easy technology to implement and it is well known to regulatory agencies. IAS involves the injection of air, pure oxygen, or other gases below the water table which may result in the removal of contaminants through volatilization or bioremediation. In a less common application, IAS can also be used to immobilize contaminants through chemical changes such as precipitation.

 

This 14 PDH online course is intended for civil and environmental engineers as well as other technical professionals interested in learning about the design, operation, and feasibility of IAS systems.
Learning Objectives

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

  • Learning about the background of IAS
  • Familiarizing with the underlying physical process and technology used in IAS
  • Understanding the basics of feasibility evaluations and site characterization
  • Gaining insight into pilot testing guidance and strategies
  • Familiarizing with design considerations for IAS
  • Learning about operation and maintenance requirements for IAS systems
  • Familiarizing with IAS system shutdown strategies
  • Gaining insight into administrative issues such as regulations, patents, and safety

COURSE TITLE: Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Destruction in the US & Abroad
COURSE NO: C04-059
COURSE PROVIDER: Gilbert Gedeon, P.E.
Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Destruction in the US & Abroad
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course discusses the sources of ozone depleting substances (ODS) in the United States and abroad and defines the best practices for the safe, environmentally sound collection, recovery, transport, and destruction of these substances. In addition, this course explains the challenges associated with the safe destruction of ODS and assesses the costs for the ODS waste management process.

 

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol), finalized in 1987, is a global agreement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ODS.

 

While the global ODS phaseout is underway, a large amount of ODS is in equipment and products such as refrigerators and air conditioners (as refrigerant and foam blowing agent), foam contained in buildings, and fire protection systems and fire extinguishers, as well as in stockpiles held by countries and industrial and commercial users. Together these sources are referred to as ODS banks.

 

This 4 PDH online course is intended for environmental, sustainability, industrial, and mechanical engineers, as well as others interested in learning about the best practices for destruction of ODS.
Learning Objectives

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

  • Familiarizing with the sources of ODS
  • Learning about the best management practices regarding the process of ODS destruction
  • Familiarizing with ODS destruction technologies and facilities in the U.S. and worldwide
  • Gaining perspective and metrics on the international efforts to destroy ODS
  • Understanding the financial considerations of ODS recovery, transportation, and destruction costs
Course Document
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the document, "Ozone Depleting Substances Destruction (ODS) in the US & Abroad" which is based on the report titled “ODS Destruction in the United States and Abroad”, published by the U.S. EPA, publication number EPA 430-R-18-001, dated February 2018.
