Lanier Technical College is pleased to offer this unique course which is designed to provide a basic knowledge of ammonia refrigeration system components and system operation. This two day course provides the non-operator with an introduction to the theory and basic concepts of industrial ammonia refrigeration system operation. The training consists of both classroom and lab. Theory is introduced in the classroom and then reinforced in our state-of-the-art lab. In the lab students will identify components and review load calculation sheets and procedures that will help save on refrigeration costs. A demonstration of starting and operating a live, two-stage ammonia refrigeration system is also included in the course. This training is for companies with personnel who assist with system oversight but who do not operate system components. The class is taught 8am to 5pm. The cost is $495 per student.

Covers the application and use of a system of computer software applications developed for use by chemical emergency planners provided by the E.P.A. The components covered in this three day class are: CAMEO (Computer Aided Management of Emergency Operations) is a chemical database and information module. MARPLOT (Mapping Applications for Response and Planning of Local Operational Tasks) is a mapping application for use in plotting information on area maps. ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) is an air dispersion model that allows the user to estimate the characteristics of a chemical release. Class objectives will include the utilization of these computer tools to aid in PSM/RMP compliance. (Note: This course is not on the current schedule but may be scheduled upon request with sufficient enrollment. Call Patti Kravitz at (770) 531-4500 for more information.)
