Course detail
Energy and Emissions
FSI-9EAEAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course is concerned with energy saving and reduction of emissions in process industry. The concent of the course is inspired by the fact: "Produced emissions cannot be destroyed." The main goal is therefore defined as - to minimize the energy consumption and thereby emissions production (CO2, NOx, SOx,etc.) in process industry. Students will be mede familiar with problems of general emissions and methods for reducing emissions with regard to the protection of the environment and corresponding legislation. One part of course is deals with energy saving due to process integration based on "Pinch Technology" including economical and ecological aspects. Students apply the knowledge from course "Heat Transfer Processes" and they learn of the use of external energetic sources and cogeneration in process industry (including interesting relations between thermodynamics and economy). Top specialists´ know-how is used in the course.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The attendance at lectures is recommended.
The students’ knowledge is checked by the oral exam connected with defence of written students work. Missed lesson can be substituted by self-study with use of study materials (literature) specified by course lecturer.
Aims
Students will learn to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete industrial cases and work with technical literature. They will understand and apply up-to-date methods in the branch and the necessity of co-operation and team-work. They will solve practical problems from different fields of process industry using professional or personal software systems.
