[WiSe 2024/25] Waste-to-Energy processes: Exercise

[WiSe 2024/25] Waste-to-Energy processes: Units

This module addresses the principles of thermal waste treatment status in waste management, physicochemical principles of thermal waste treatment, flue gas cleaning, emissions reduction and residue treatment, legal framework and technical concepts, mass and energy balances of the thermal process, optimization of energy use generated from waste and biomass, as well as production and use of substitute fuels.

This module addresses the chemical principles and process engineering aspects of waste to energy processes. Students learn about the different thermal waste treatment options and appropriate emission reduction techniques. Following these, students will design thermal waste treatment systems based on practice-oriented calculations. Furthermore, energy efficiency techniques in waste to energy processes will be discussed, leading to an overview of the implementation of waste treatment plants in practice. This course has been designed to be 40% knowledge and understanding, 30% development and design, 10% research and evaluation, and 20% implementation and practice

Course enrolment:

  • self-enrollment from 01.10.2024 to 31.10.2024.
  • introduction to the module will take place on 15.10 at 08:30 in room BH-N 128.
  • enrolment into this course will automatically add you to the WtE - Exercise Isis course

[WiSe 2024/25] Advanced Recycling Technologies II

Within this integrated course, students will delve into ongoing research and development within the realm of circular economy and recycling technologies. The curriculum encompasses scientific practices, including hypothesis formulation, experimental design, statistical analysis, and other assessment methodologies. Students will also acquire proficiency in experimental and analytical techniques tailored to characterize waste flows, waste-derived products, and recycling processes. Moreover, they will gain proficiency in tools for data management and presentation, along with competencies for delivering effective presentations and scientific writing.

Self-enrolment in the course is possible from 08.04.2024. The first live event will take place on 25.04.2024 at 08:00 at the campus of the TU Berlin in room A 060. We would like to use this Kick-Off-Meeting to welcome you to the course, present the current topics for the semester, and discuss the first organizational aspects.

[WiSe 2024/25] Advanced Recycling Technologies I - Units

This module addresses the sustainable use of materials along the life cycle. Students learn about primary production, the application in e.g. low carbon technologies, recycling options, and challenges of significant materials such as plastics, steel, aluminum, copper, precious and specialty metals as well as Rare Earth Elements but also the nutrient phosphorous.

Tools like Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Criticality Assessment, and Recyclability Assessment in combination with modern methods of data sciences enable you to make informed decisions along the product life cycle from design, waste collection & sorting, to proper recycling and reintegration of secondary raw materials in our economy and thus reduce the environmental footprint of the materials used in our society.

Course enrolment:

  •  self-enrollment from 11.10.2023 to 31.10.2023.
  • introduction to the module will take place on 18.10 at 08:00 in room BH-N 334.
