Type
Short course
What you will learn On successful completion of this short course you will be able to:Describe the role of waste treatment technologies under the resource management agenda - drivers, selection, pre-requisites requirements, waste types treatedUnderstand how to assess the performance of treatment processes including how wastes are analysed and data interpretationUnderstand the basis of and process flowsheet for the above technologies and acquire knowledge about reference plants for these and critical operational parametersDevelop understanding of their application in the UK and internationally - current status, trends and driversQuantify specific process parameters critical to the design of non-landfill treatment processes (eg. thermal destruction efficiencies; flue gas desulphurisation requirements)Apply the process science and engineering (PSE) knowledge above in describing key issues regarding emissions, treatment performance for these technologies, relating this to regulationCommunicate the advantages, disadvantages, limitations and capabilities of these technologies.

Course programme
- Integrated waste management: Mechanical biological treatment, pre-treatment, biodegradable wastes (Waste Emissions Trading Act, landfill diversion), coupled technologies, technology performance and managing environmental impacts
- Municipal waste collection, transfer stations, flow and treatment options (case study examples of materials flow)
- Municipal waste sorting: (transfer stations; materials recovery facilities - design and operation)
- Fundamentals of environmental analysis: methods, bias, precision and accuracy, expressing and converting concentrations
- Waste characterisation: sampling and analysing wastes
- Assessing the performance of treatment processes: key analytical parameters, their environmental significance and measurement
- Thermal treatment: incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, combined heat and power, waste to energy, solid recovered fuel (destruction efficiencies, emissions control, heat recovery and co-generation)
- Alternative technology options: including plasma processing, composting (commercial, home), anaerobic digestion (biogas), wastes and residues to land
- Chemical and liquid wastes and residuals management: eg. cyanides and ash (re-use, construction).
