Commonly evaluated types of processes included coating operations, metal finishing, stationary internal combustions engines, boilers, plastic extrusion equipment, printing presses, laser and plasma arc cutting, dry cleaning machines, gasoline service stations, storage tanks, abrasive blasting, HEPA filtration systems, cartridge dust collectors, cyclones, electrostatic precipitators, and particulate scrubbers. Evaluations involved performing engineering calculations and analyses on the design and operation of the particular process and air pollution control equipment to quantify and assess air emission impacts. We were also tasked with interpreting and explaining air quality rules, regulations and policies to technical and non-technical audiences, and explaining why operation of certain equipment or processes may result in violations of air quality rules.
