| Description: | Aims: To: * Develop a knowledge and understanding of advanced processing, concepts and technologies in process integration and process intensification and be able to apply this to design/re-design novel and resource efficient reaction and separation processes. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit the student will be able to: * Specify and design technologies (including emerging and process intensification) to replace conventional ones. * Develop and evaluate strategies for technology integration for process efficiency * Identify optimal abatement and/or resource recovery levels. Skills: * The ability to select a technology based on sound evaluation of criteria (T,F,A) * The ability to integrate prior knowledge and understanding of process design with advanced level resource efficiency, and to apply this to process intensification and technology integration (T,F,A) * The ability to deal with complex issues, solve problems and make decisions in the context of multiple criteria and stakeholders in a systematic and creative way (T,F,A) * The ability to apply and adapt design processes and methodologies in unfamiliar situations and generate innovative design to fulfil needs (F,A) * The ability to optimise designs to trade off across environmental, social and economic dimensions (T,F,A) * Uncertainty, ambiguity and limits of knowledge and how these affect the analysis and solution of sustainability assessments (F,A) Content: * Role of process intensification as a preventative environmental strategy to reduce material and energy resources and minimise waste * Selection and specification of emerging technologies, intensified reactors and separation processes for application in the environmental and sustainable chemical engineering discipline * Green chemistry and green engineering concepts * Optimal degree of abatement and sampling and measurement strategies for resource efficiency * Integrating complex information in problem solving and decision making * Energy pinch. |
