Bioresource and Pollution Control Technology

This course aims at: 1) giving some fundamentals of process engineering applied to environmental biotechnologies; 2) examining the most up-to-date and innovative technological solutions for bioresources management and pollution control in production chains; and 3) analyzing a particular case study of applied technology, in direct contact with the operators in the field.

Students attending the course will possess knowledge, expertise, and analytical skills to deal with the mains environmental sustainability aspects of bioresource and pollution control technology. More specifically, they will be able to understand strategies for the management of bioresource technology that are sustainable from an environmental and social perspective. The students will know the characteristics of the most innovative and up-to-date technologies for bioresource management and pollution control and will be able to assess their environmental performances using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach.
