This module addresses the principles of thermal waste treatment status in waste management, physico-chemical 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
