MJ2641 Cleaner Production II 6.0 credits

• Cleaner production fundamentals
• The industrial project work
• Material- and energy balances of industrial processes
• Cleaner production and Life Cycle Assessment
• Valuation of process alternatives in Cleaner Production in a sustainability perspective
• A Cleaner Production study group task

After the course, the student shall be able to independently lead and carry out a Cleaner Production study in a major production industry including:

• Establishing material- and energy balances for the overall process as well as the most important sub-processes of the industry (the core system),
• Carry out a screening Life Cycle Assessment of the production process, including the establishment of a more overarching material- and energy balance (including, upstream, core and downstream  systems),
• Using the results from the two perspectives above suggest suitable Cleaner Production measures considering technical/economic, ecologic and social aspects of the production.

MJ2640 + MJ2620 or MJ2626 or MJ2623  or MJ2621 or corresponding knowledge.
