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.
