LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course will cover the topics related to the management of Large Combustion Plants, LCP, and their interaction with the environment. Fuel properties and associated risks are presented, with a focus on the Utilities network monitoring. Combustion process and its environmental impact will be investigated and the Best Available Technology to reduce pollutant emissions in LCP will be analyzed on the base of the 2016 European IPCC BrEFDocument. LCP pollutant monitoring and control strategies will be presented.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The student must be able to estimate the LCP related emissions intensity, to select the proper control strategy and to size the system accordingly

The student must understand the effects imposed by natural events (strong wind and heavy rainfall) over production sites, and counter-action measures.

The student must know the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process and the related activities

TEACHING METHODS

Theoretical lessons and practical examples
