Sustainable Technologies and Processes
Objectives
Understand the role of catalysis, neoteric solvents and non thermal activation energy within the green chemical engineering
- Identify situations where green chemical engineering concepts can be used
- Understand the concept of process intensification
- Know and understand applications of intensification techniques to a range of processes
- Understand basic operating principles of a variety of intensified process equipment
- Understand the flexibility of process design and operation as a whole, before more detailed design of components.
- Understand and rationalize the optimal solution and the good alternatives and be able to decide which one will improve the whole engineering work.
