Course detail
Process Equipment
FSI-IAZ Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester
The course provides students with a survey of machinery applied to the protection of the environment with the emphasis on its construction. The course extends students` current theoretical knowledge by practical areas of the design of a single machine, apparatus and whole manufacturing lines exploited in the area of adjustment and recycling the waste, in ecological power industry, at biodegradation waste-processing, at liquid cleaning and ecological waste-processing and waste deactivation. The emphasis is put especially on the general design of machinery applied to the area of ecological performance and as on the design of particular machinery and its single parts specific for given area of a procedural technology.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students learn how the selected machinery is designed and extend their knowledge of the function and purpose of single industrial apparatus used in various areas of ecology.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of elasticity and strength of structures, mechanics, theory of materials and details of machines.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: Active attendance at seminars. The exam has written and oral parts, students have to prove their theoretical and practical knowledge.
Aims
The course objective is to make students familiar with the design of industrial equipment and apparatus used in environmental technologies
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Active attendance at seminars is checked. The written report has to be done when training was missed. This report has to be produced for verification.
