Overview
What you will study
The starting point for the Sustainable production of fuels and materials course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology is the raw materials, including renewables as well as fossil materials, and it then continues via the process system to products and side products, energy use and the placing of the process in the regional and global surroundings.
The course describes a number of processes for the production of renewable fuels. Concept for simultaneous production of more than one product from the same raw material with the aim of reducing energy use and raw material consumption are discussed.
After completion of the course the student should be able to:
- Understand and be able to explain why the simultaneous production of several products may be advantageous in many situations but also when it is not relevant.
- Recognize the principle of process integration for the achievement of higher efficiency both concerning the use of raw material and for reaching a better energy utilization, and be able to perform simple calculations using the methods introduced in the course for process analysis.
- Analyse and criticise the interaction between technical and economic aspects in the development of process integrated systems.
- Describe a number of relevant existing processes, commercial or under development.
- Plan and gather the technical data required for the carrying out of mass and heat balances describing an actual process idea.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Important chemical, chemical engineering and biochemical process steps are discussed in detail in the course and relevant process schemes are suggested.
- Different types of reactors, optimisation of operating parameters etc., and different opportunities for process integration when producing renewable fuels are discussed.
- In lectures, and in a visit to an industrial process, more traditional processes as well as new types of processes in the technical front line will be treated.
- The course includes a project assignment in which the students in groups investigates different process systems and present their work orally and as a written report.
