Sustainable Process Engineering

Process Engineering is an extension of Chemical Engineering methodology to all industrial processes for transforming matter and energy, whether these transformations are chemical, biological or simply physical. This in-depth module is therefore a logical extension of what is covered in the Chemical Engineering module in S8, and should provide a more global vision of the problems encountered in the transformation industries, in relation to today's major environmental and societal challenges.
The following topics will be covered:
- Sustainable and innovative processes: what processes are being implemented or developed in the factory of the future? To what extent can process engineering help address current and future environmental and societal issues (greenhouse gas emissions, mobility, waste, raw materials, energy, etc.)? )?
- Process design and optimization: how can new processes be developed to minimize environmental impacts in the broadest sense, and how can existing processes be optimized (pollutant emissions, energy consumption, etc.)?
- Process operation: how can processes be controlled in practice, so that they can be used to best effect in terms of production capacity and quality, utility consumption, compliance with constraints, etc.?...
The aim of this module is to acquire complementary multi-disciplinary skills, in particular experimental and numerical skills: running a test bench, processing experimental results, validation through numerical modeling/simulation of processes, etc. ...
The course can be taught in the form of projects: students will then be assessed in the same way as engineers in a company, with specifications to be met and deliverables to be supplied by a set deadline.

This module is an interesting way of integrating the 3A CPI specialization.

You must have taken the GCHIM and MCPRO courses before taking this advanced module.
