Learning Outcomes

This UC aims to provide the student with the knowledge and skills necessary for:
O1: the identification of environmental aspects related to the production of waste and effluents (liquid and gaseous) in energy production and exploration systems;
O2: the identification of the possible technologies and processes of solving them,
O3: the analysis of test results and determinations aiming at the decision making in what concerns the adoption of processes and technologies for the prevention and treatment of effluents and waste; aiming at the integration in multidisciplinary teams with whom they must interact, contributing to the sustainability of processes and facilities.
