| Summary |
|---|
| This subject consists of a two thematic part. The target of the first thematic part is introducing students with present using industrial technologies. There is about energetic and material analyses in industry and also in the all society. Main attention are saving while biosphere extraction and also reducing of energy intensity of different productive procedures. The target of the second thematic part is introducing students with environmental technologies. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The subject deals with the minimisation of negative environmental impact of industry, reduction of emissions and contaminants and pollutants of all kinds. Reduction of negative impacts of physical-engineering quantities on the environment (noise, vibration, ionizing radiation, heat, etc.). Waste handling, wasteless technologies. Interrelations and consequences between economics, power engineering and ecology in industrial activities. Minimization of impacts of major industrial sectors on the environment. |
