SI-U3

Safe and sustainable processes

learning objectives:

Students will understand the principles and practices required to ensure safety and sustainability in chemical processes, with a focus on safe and sustainable production methods in the chemical industry. They will gain knowledge of chemical reactivity hazards, the assessment and management of process safety, and the production of sustainable fuels and hydrogen.The student is expected to be able to:1. Recognize and manage chemical reactivity hazards to prevent uncontrolled reactions, ensuring safety in chemical processes;2. Apply thermal safety assessment principles to evaluate and mitigate risks in chemical processes, including flammability and explosion hazards;3. Design and evaluate sustainable hydrogen and hydrocarbon production technologies, emphasizing environmental advantages and technological innovation.
