Semester 2 for option 1 (1-A, 1-B and 1-C): Eco-Technologies and Environmental Process Engineering

Remediation and Purification Technologies

This course gives a global vision of the main available processes used in the field of air and industrial gas purification, drinking water and wastewater treatment. It combines both theoretical engineering knowledge and practical know-how (mini-project, industrial case studies). A multi-scale approach is developed including description of mechanisms, conventional models, technology presentation, system design and economic analysis. Students will gain knowledge about legislation regarding pollutant discard, and how to design and/or optimize treatment processes in order to respect pollutant emissions thresholds.

Environment and Process Engineering

To be able to design gas-solid processes and define adapted industrial technologies for applications related to combustion, solid waste incineration, gasification, solid thermal treatment, catalytic reactions, de-dusting. The course stresses the necessity to take into account the economic criteria, the legal constraints, the environmental impact (control and reduction of pollution, waste minimisation), and the energy costs in order to define an optimal design of processes.

Process Modelling, Simulation and Control

This course aims at giving students the ability to use the most widespread software-tools dedicated to process modelling and control. Basic skills on how to obtain and compile data from static and dynamic systems will be provided using linear methods. The main objective is to enable students to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption of new or existing environmental processes trough both modelling, simulation and advanced control approaches.

Integrated Engineering Project

To apply technical knowledge, engineering tools for process design and control and to learn to optimize organization of work in a project team. An engineering project dedicated to design, modelling, control of an industrial process applied for solid, air or water treatment, or energy recovery will be realized to complete this course.

Environmental Management and Strategies of Sustainability

The main objectives are : • to provide an overall view of energy and environmental issues on a planetary scale, • to identify the scientific, technical, social, economic, legal and political stakes linked to sustainable management, • to understand the main strategies and the driving forces for innovation in energy and water treatment technologies, • to help the students to identify decision-makers and understand the role of the main actors. At the end of the course, the students will be familiarized with all aspect of environmental, risk and safety management systems and how these are evolving and being implemented by industry.

French Language and Culture

To make the students able to communicate in French in current life, for job interviews and in professional situations (meetings and working reports). To support their social, cultural and professional integration by a better knowledge of French culture. At the end of the course, students will get a French diploma (TEF, Test d’Evaluation de Français) assessing their language proficiency.

Environment and Energy Production

To gain necessary knowledge about concepts, thermodynamic cycles and technologies in order to be able to design energy production and conversion systems. This knowledge will be supplemented with a practical training, by using Thermoptim tool to model systems. Applications cover heat and power generation, as well as refrigeration cycles. Knowledge about alternative energy resources and their technical implementation is also provided. Students will be able to understand energy conversion utilization and storage for renewable technologies (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, ocean resources) and evaluate the limits of their potential use.

Rational Design of Energy Technologies

To understand operation principles and design considerations of systems used for heat, mechanical and electrical energy generation or transformation. To know technologies of heat engines, turbines, boilers and internal combustion engines To be able to perform calculation of thermo-physical phenomena running in the equipment. To initiate the students with modelling of complex thermodynamic cycles involved in internal combustion engines. To understand the formation of pollutants in the internal combustion engines and their controlling techniques.

Eco-efficiency and Multiscale Analysis of Environmental and Energy Systems

To be able to evaluate energy demand and implement strategies of energy savings taking into account both societal and environmental features (transports, air and water management systems, interactions between the different stakeholders). To acquire the methodology skills and be able to select the best technical solution from multi-scale analysis of systems, including buildings, districts, cities and industrial sites.

Energy Management

To examine sustainable options for energy production, supply and consumption and to enable a critical evaluation of emerging ideas and technologies. To understand the energy recovery and management techniques of production and distribution systems. To know incentives and requirements for improving energy efficiency in the residential, commercial, transportation, and industrial sectors. To know methods for energy audit of the industrial and civil installations.

French Language and Culture

To make the students able to communicate in French in current life, for job interviews and in professional situations (meetings and working reports). To support their social, cultural and professional integration by a better knowledge of French culture. At the end of the course, students will get a French diploma (TEF, Test d’Evaluation de Français) assessing their language proficiency.
