Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim is to acquire and develop expertise for complex technical understanding of each exhaust gas cleaning systems, are particularly desulphurisation, denitrification and primary methods of reduction of emissions from combustion. Overview of processes of optimization of existing technologies with respect to emission reduction, their incorporation in relevant technological units of energy units, especially units burning fossil fuels, their interactions and operational specifics, requirements for energy sources operated in the Czech Republic and abroad, aspects of operation and optimization of these systems with respect to operational, environmental and economic aspects in relevant energy operations.
