Case studies may include:
Acid rain, control of particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions from Centralia Coal-Fired Power Plant (electrostatic precipitator for particle control, limestone slurry scrubber for sulfur dioxide control), Spokane municipal incinerator (ammonia injection to reduce NOx, wet-dry acid gas absorption with lime slurry, and filter baghouse to collect particulates), thermal desorption of hazardous organics from soil ("dirt burning"), diesel engine emission controls (oxidation catalytic converter to reduce CO & hydrocarbons, diesel particulate filter, and urea injection + selective catalytic reduction to reduce NOx), wastewater treatment plant odor control (Brightwater), air pollutant emission reduction by using electricity co-generation.
