Course contents :
|
| See description of the two parts of the module.
 | | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| This course aims at presenting several tools, methodologies allowing to design sustainable industrial processes or to improve existing processes.
The following topics will be addresses:
- Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA) and ecodesign
- Best available techniques
- Green process engineering.
It combines theoretical courses and industrial case studies. |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |
|
| This lecture aims at presenting mechanisms to optimize the use of energy in industry. The following concepts will be covered:
- energy performance indicators
- techniques for improving industrial processes
- the valorization of renewable energy
- the use of CHP
- heat recovery (among others, ORCs and heat pumps)
The lecture will be illustrated through different examples from food-processing industry, chemical industry, steel industry, cement industry and glass industry. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| See description of the two parts of the module.
| | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| At the end of the course, the student will be able to
- show his understanding and his knowledge of the LCA methodology and related standards;
- to explain the advantages, potential applications, and limitations of the this methodology;
- to explain the environmental communication concept;
- to explain the ecodesign approach;
- to explain the 'green process engineering' approach and to illustrate it |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |
|
| The student will be aware of main concepts of energy performance. He will also gain a good knowledge of mechanisms to improve energy performance in industrial processes. |

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| Bachelor level scientific background. |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |
|
| Basic thermodynamics knowledge. |
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| See description of the two parts of the module.
| | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| The course is based on 'ex-cathedra' lectures, seminars given by industrials, and one personal work.
The individual work will be the object of a written report whose cotation will count for 50% of the final mark (remaining 50 % = part of V. Lemort). |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |
|
| Oral sessions followed by exercises sessions on computers. |
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| See description of the two parts of the module.
| | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| Face-to-face lectures. |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| See description of the two parts of the module.
| | Part 1 : Tools for a more sustainable industry (product life cycle analysis, best available technologies, sustainable chemistry) |
|
| The written report will be considered as final exam. |
| | Part 2 : Rational use of energy in industry |
|
