Environmental protection in petrochemical industry
PURPOSE:
To familiarize and understand the processes and products of the petrochemical industry, their impact on the environment and integral approach to environmental protection, emphasising the application and development of new technological solutions and processes in accordance with the principle of sustainability.
THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE:
1. Petrochemical industry: raw materials (crude oil, natural gas, coal, biomass), processes and products - technological, economical, environmental, social and geopolitical influences. Global trends and incentives to reduce environmental impacts.
2. Main chemical reactions and processes of hydrocarbon conversions: mechanisms, thermodynamics, process conditions.
3. Integrated approach to environmental protection in the chemical industry through the concept of best available technology (BAT).
4. Rcycling technologies of used lubricating oil. The quality of re-raffinated oil.
5. Processes of cleaning and processing of natural gas; liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
6. Methane as fuel and petrochemical feedstock. Halogenated hydrocarbons.
7. Production of syngas and hydrogen. Economy based on hydrogen.
8. Production of clean fuels (synthetic gasoline and diesel motor fuels) Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: GTL, CTL and BTL.
9. Examples of application of BAT concept: the industrial production of ammonia.
10. Examples of application of BAT concept: production of olefins by steam cracking and production of polyethylene.
11. Main products based on ethylene, propylene and C4 unsaturated hydrocarbons.
12. Aromatic hydrocarbons (BTX), products; production, the impact on the environment.
13. Sources of pollution of air, water and soil in petrochemical processes, techniques of processing and reducing pollution. Industrial examples: production of styrene and polystyrene, the production of propylene oxide and polypropylene.
14. Reducing the environmental impact of industry by integration the oil processing and production of petrochemicals.
GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCE:
The adoption and application of theoretical knowledge on major petrochemical products; including reaction pathways and technological scheme for their production.
The application of the integrated approach to environmental protection and BAT concept in the petrochemical industry.
KNOWLEDGE TESTING AND EVALUATION:
written or oral exam
MONITORING OF THE COURSE QUALITY AND SUCCESSFULNESS:
student survey
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. compare ways of converting fossil and renewable raw materials into a wide range of chemicals and materials
2. argue the technological solutions represented in the petrochemical industry on the basis of reaction schemes and chemical mechanisms
3. review the concept of an integrated approach to environmental protection by applying the best available technologies (BAT) on concrete examples
4. contrast the advantages and limitations of clean fuel production and a hydrogen-based economy
5. assess the consequences of merging the oil refining industry and petrochemical production from the point of view of reducing the impact on the environment
6. interpret the potentials of biorefinery production in perspective
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
