Description:
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Application of chemical-engineering knowledge in environmental protection in oil refining processes with emphasis on new technological solutions. Introduction to the problem of air, water and soil pollution in the application and transport of oil and oil products, based on knowledge of possible sources of danger, emergency measures and measures to recover the polluted environment.

COURSE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM:
1. Introduction to oil refining. Extraction, chemical composition, production and consumption of oil
2. Processes and products of primary oil refining (atmospheric and vacuum distillation)
3. Processes and products of secondary oil refining (conversion processes)
4. Sulfur compounds in raw materials and products; cracking processes
5. Aromatic hydrocarbons in raw materials and products; reform and isomerization processes
6. Hydroprocessing of raw materials and products of oil refining process
7. Removal of sulfur compounds from refinery gases. Claus process
8. Air pollution in oil refineries; control parameters
9. Heavy residue processing processes and their impact on the environment
10. Sources of water pollution in oil refining processes
11. Wastewater treatment. Impact of pollution on soil
12. Ecological impacts of refinery waste streams on the aquatic ecosystem. Remediation of environmental incidents
13. Hydrocarbon fuels; composition and properties
14. Emissions of harmful gases; impact of fuel quality, legal regulations

GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCE:
Acquisition of theoretical and applied knowledge on the impact of oil refineries and petroleum products on the environment, as well as on methods of monitoring, managing and reducing harmful impacts
STUDENTS 'TEACHING OBLIGATIONS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE:
Students are required to attend lectures.
Students are required to do all the lab exercises.
Students are required to access knowledge tests and colloquia (related to laboratory exercises).

TEACHING METHODS:
Lectures.
Laboratory exercises (practical work in groups under the supervision of an assistant).
Consultations by arrangement with students.

METHOD OF EXAMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXAMINATION:
Written and oral exam.

METHOD OF MONITORING THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF COURSES:
Student survey.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. assess the role of individual refining processes in terms of environmental requirements for final products
2. evaluate the possibilities of reducing the share of polluting compounds in oil refining processes, related to their formation
3. argue the methods of removing pollutants from gaseous and aqueous streams of oil refining
4. select possible intervention after spillage of oil or product into watercourses and / or soil
5. compare the types of harmful emissions from car engines with the characteristics of the fuel
LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE GRADUATE STUDY AT THE PROGRAMME LEVEL:
1. relate professional knowledge from of the local and global environment protection, and improve environmental management and legislation relating to environmental protection
2. recognize the problem by applying integrated basic sciences in the field of environmental protection
3. solve engineering problems by understanding of engineering processes and their design
4. optimize the integrated technology with a minimal amount of waste, which includes their analysis and modelling, in compliance with the strategy the closed production cycle
5. develop independent opinions on global processes and their understanding
6. develop a work ethic and responsibility to the norms of engineering practice
Learning outcomes:
  1. assess the role of individual refining processes in terms of environmental requirements for final products
  2. evaluate the possibilities of reducing the share of polluting compounds in oil refining processes, related to their formation
