| Requisites: |
|
| Learning Outcomes:
| By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Identify, interpret and apply legislation which applies directly to the management of waste and emissions.
- Develop and evaluate strategies to minimise municipal waste and waste in process industries (including reactors, separation and utility systems) to prevent environmental pollution.
- Identify and assess the impact of emissions from various industrial processes.
- Identify potential for resources recovery and valorisation in process streams.
|
| Synopsis: | You will develop an understanding of waste and emissions legislation with a particular focus on environmental law and waste management in an industrial context. You will learn how to characterise and classify waste and emissions in industrial, urban and environmental processes to recognise process inefficiencies and opportunities for resource recovery and valorisation. You will become familiar with a range of established and emerging technologies for waste management and emissions control.
