Course contents *

The course should give knowledge and understanding for how industrial processes and products affect the environment as well as the legal aspects, and strategies for minimizing the effect on the environment.

Contents specially focus on possibilities and limitation for lowering the waste from atmosphere and water, using of energy, life cycle analysis of energy and materials during the process industry.

Intended learning outcomes *

The course aims at providing the students with a clear engineering knowledge about the energy and environmental issues for the sustainability development in the process industry focusing on the ability to quantify key parameters such as energy and mass balances, life cycle analysis for an energy-intensive industrial system, and the  knowledge about their controlling mechanisms
