Learning Outcomes

Sustainability module
S-OBJ1 to know the regulatory and legal framework applicable to environmental and safety issues
S-OBJ2 to know/apply and/or implement the studied instruments
S-OBJ3 to understand the need for change towards a more sustainable development and recognize the importance of the instruments studied to achieve this goal

Process Integration module
I-OBJ1 the concept of energy pinch in industrial processes with the need for multiple heat exchangers and the methodology for designing the maximum energy recovery network
I-OBJ2 the concept of mass pinch in industrial processes that consume water in multiple operations and the methodology for designing the network that minimizes this resource
I-OBJ3 the methodology for the construction of hydrogen distribution networks
