Course detail
Process and Power Engineering and Legislation
FSI-KELAcad. year: 2015/2016
Design of process and power systems requires knowledge of both current and upcoming legislative limitations. The legislative requirements apply to, for instance, construction of an industrial complex, occupational health and safety, and sanitary conditions. A part of the course is devoted to liability of a process designer.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will learn essential legislation related to design and operation of process units. They will learn to apply legislative requirements in engineering practice. Students will measure and statistically evaluate typical process and energy parameters.
Prerequisites
Mass and heat balance calculations, mechanisms of pollutant emissions formation, design of process and power systems, statistics.
Co-requisites
Not applicable.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Active participation in practical seminars is obligatory. Course is conducted by final exam, which is conditioned by a presentation of semestral work. In justified case, the teacher may present an alternative condition. Final grade is a weighted sum of semestral work and written exam assesments by 40% and 60%, respectively.

Aims
The objective is to introduce essential legislation related to design, construction and operation of an industrial process complex.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation in the seminar is regularly checked. In justified cases, seminar may be substituted by an individual project (in the form of practical case study).
Recommended optional programme components
