Rational use of energy

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):

*How to establish a life cycle analysis on energy production processes and different energy use scenarios; to use a software (Umberto) and the appropriate databases. Use of results for process eco-design.

* Pinch analysis for improving energy use in a process.

*Other optimization methods (numerical methods) depending on the case study for process ecodesign.

*Establish energy and exergy balances on energy production or energy consumption scenarios. Critical analysis of the obtained results.

*Identify dysfunctions in a system and to propose optimal solutions. To propose new scenarios considering energy aspects.

The student will be able to:

*Mobilise knowledges in chemical engineering in order to solve complex problems in the field of matter and energy processing.

*Conception, design, modelling, conducting and optimizing (for technical and economical criteria) installations in the field of chemical engineering

* Considering safety, energy efficiency and management of environmental impacts in the early step of process design and in functioning of unit processes and processes.

*Conception of new unit processes and processes in different industrial fields like Ecoindustry, Energy, Environment, in order to reduce the climate change threat and contribute to energy transition.
