Course Title: Skills for Quality Environmental Management

Course Code: ENV21

Course Description:

A short course which considers the human impact on the environment and provides

updated knowledge of pollution control equipment and environmental management

systems and tools.

Who should attend?

This course will be of particular interest engineers employed in the heat and power

generation, energy, and process industries.

How attendees will benefit?

After completion of the programme, delegates will be able to:

Recognise the complexity of environmental issues facing industrial

organisations.

Identify the emissions of atmospheric and water pollutants from an

industrial activity and assess their environmental impacts.

Appraise critically available pollution control technology/equipment in

order to make a successful selection of the most appropriate and viable

option for a given application.

Make sound judgement in the absence of complete data and communicate

effectively conclusions obtained.

Continue to advance their knowledge and assimilate new future

technologies.

Course Content:

Environmental Pollution - An Introduction: Pollution. Main ecological

concepts. Ecosystem processes. The human dimension. Environmental

gradients, tolerance and adaptation. Major biogeochemical cycles.

Atmospheric Pollution: Sources, sinks and concentration trends for

atmospheric pollutants.

Environmental Impacts of Atmospheric Pollution: Global issues (global

warming; ozone-layer depletion). Regional issues (acid deposition; the

Arctic haze). Urban air pollution (urban growth patterns; urban air

pollutants; atmospheric pollution and human health; effects of atmospheric

pollution on plants).

Dispersal of Atmospheric Pollutants: Air pollution and meteorology (lapse

rate and atmospheric stability; Temperature inversions; Atmospheric

mixing height and ventilation coefficient). Dispersion modelling (plume

rise; The Gaussian plume dispersion model).

Control of Atmospheric Pollution: Particulate pollutants (gravity settling

chambers; Centrifugal separators; Electrostatic precipitators; Filters and

scrubbers). VOCs (Adsorption; Condensation; Absorption; Thermal

oxidation; Bio-oxidation). SO2 (Removal of SO2 from rich waste gases;

Sulphuric acid plants; Removal of SO2 from lean waste gases; Scrubbers;

Dry systems; Wet-dry systems). NOx (Selective catalytic reduction;

Selective non-catalytic reduction; Non-selective catalytic reduction). CO2

(Industrial emissions; The Kyoto Protocol; CO2 capture from flue-gas

streams of fossil fuel-fired power plants; CO2 storage; CO2 utilisation).

Water Pollutants and Basic Treatment Principles: Water contaminants.

Overview of drinking water treatment processes. Regulatory requirements

for drinking water in Europe.

Wastewater Pollutants and Basic Treatment Principles: Rationalization of

wastewater quality including the origin, abundance and classification of

pollutants. Pollution measurement. Overview of regulations. Brief

description of common wastewater treatment processes and main principles.

Water Flowsheet exercise: Exploration of the logical sequence of treatment

processes required to achieve water/wastewater treatment.

Solid Waste Management: Solid waste generation. Options for management

of the waste. Waste recycling. Composting. Anaerobic digestion.

Gasification. Pyrolysis. Refuse-derived fuels. Waste incineration. Waste

disposal. Integrated solid waste management. Overview of environmental

law and legislation. Introduction to environmental impact assessment.
