The subject is part of the Process and Product Engineering module of the Master in Chemical Engineering Fall Semester. The subject is taught in Spanish by the Environmental Technology teaching staff of the University of Oviedo, as well as by External staff (professionals from surrounding industries). It is a compulsory subject that introduces the student into key aspects of industrial activity: logistics planning of the company and its environmental management.
The main skills that students will acquire are the following:
- Ability to manage and optimize supply chains in the chemical industry, identifying critical stages such as supplier selection, inventory, order processing, stock management, etc.
- Ability to apply systematic programming methods in supply control.
- Ability to manage the main supplies of a chemical plant, such as air, water, steam, fuel, etc.; including logistical, economic, and legal aspects.
- Ability to identify critical points in the generation of environmental impacts in chemical processes.
- Ability to select the procedures to be used for waste management and treatment.
The expository classes are complemented with the resolution of practical cases of planning of supplies and management of residual currents.
The subject has no further prerequisites other than those required to take the Master's program. However, it is recommended for a better understanding of the subject and to acquire all competencies that the student has prior knowledge of Chemical Process Design, Environmental Engineering, and a user-level knowledge of spreadsheet management.
The main learning outcomes of the course will be based upon the following abilities:
Generic Skills
CG1. Ability to apply the scientific method and principles of engineering and economics to formulate and solve complex problems in processes, equipment, facilities, and services, where the material undergoes changes in its composition, state, or energy content, characteristic of the chemical industry and other related sectors such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, materials, energy, food or environment.
CG2. Conceive, design, calculate and design processes, equipment, industrial facilities and services, in the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors, in terms of quality, safety, economy, rational and efficient use of natural resources and conservation of the environment.
CG3. Direct and manage technically and economically projects, facilities, plants, companies and technological centers in the field of chemical engineering and related industrial sectors.
CG4. Perform appropriate research, undertake design and direct the development of engineering solutions, in new or little-known environments, relating creativity, originality, innovation and technology transfer.
CG6. Have analytical and synthesis skills for the continuous improvement of products, processes, systems and services using criteria of safety, economic viability, quality and environmental management.
CG10. Adapt to changes, being able to apply new and advanced technologies and other relevant advances, with initiative and entrepreneurship.
Specific skills
CIPP2. Design products, processes, systems and services of the chemical industry, as well as the optimization of those already developed, based on the technological areas of chemical engineering, including processes and transport phenomena, separation operations and engineering of chemical, electrochemical and biochemical reactions.
CIPP5. Direct and supervise all types of facilities, processes, systems and services in different industrial areas related to chemical engineering.
CIPP6. Design, construct and implement methods, processes and facilities for the integral management of solid, liquid and gaseous supplies and waste in industries, with the ability to evaluate their impacts and risks.
These abilities give rise to the following learning outcomes:
RAGISR1. Apply logistics knowledge to supply management in the chemical industry, identifying critical stages: supplier selection, inventories, order processing, stock management, etc.
RAGISR2. Apply programming methods in supply control.
RAGISR3. Identify the problems (logistical, economic, and legal aspects) associated with the main supplies of a chemical plant; air, water, steam, fuels, etc.
RAGISR4. Identify critical points in the generation of environmental impacts in chemical processes.
RAGISR5. Apply usual procedures for waste management and their main treatment systems.
The contents of the course have been organised according to the following subjects:
Topic 1 Basic concepts of integrated supply management
Topic 2 Supply chain management. Procurement and stock management
Topic 3 Practical application: supply management in CAPSA
Topic 4 Chemical product storage. Warehouse management
Topic 5 Safety in the handling of chemical products. REACH
Topic 6 Programming methods in supply control: JIT and MRP
Topic 7 Main supplies in the chemical industry: air, water, steam, fuels
Topic 8 Regulations and norms for equipment and installations
Topic 9 Evaluation of environmental impacts in the chemical industry
Topic 10 Life cycle analysis and ecological footprint of installations and products
Topic 11 Administrative and legal aspects in waste management. AAI
Topic 12 Transport of waste and hazardous materials
Topic 13 Selection of residual stream treatment systems
Topic 14 Physicochemical treatments of waste
Topic 15 Biological treatments of waste
Topic 16 Waste disposal. Types of landfills
In order to rationalize the teaching organization of the University, the following typology of organizational modalities is proposed:
- Face to face activities
a. Lectures: 22 hours
b. Classroom Practices/Seminars: 7 hours
c. Group Tutoring: 2 hours
d. Evaluation Sessions: 3 hours
- Non presential activities
a. Autonomous work: 17.5 hours
b. Group work: 62.8 hours
Students receive written information included in the Teaching guide prior the beginning of the course. The material covered in all classes and labs will be available in the Virtual Campus.
Table 1. Schedule for the course activities
MODALIDADES | HORAS | % | TOTALES | |
Face to face | Lectures | 22 | 19.6 | 34 (30%) |
Classroom Practices/Seminars | 7 | 6.2 | ||
Group tutoring | 2 | 1.8 | ||
Final Assessment | 3 | 2.7 | ||
Non presential | Work in groups | 17.5 | 14.0 | 78.5 (70 %) |
Individual work | 62.8 | 55.7 | ||
TOTAL | 118.5 |
In this course, activities outside the classroom may also be carried out, such as visits to companies, research centers, attending seminars, etc. In each academic year, students will be informed of the planning of such activities with sufficient advance notice.
Conditions: Attendance to Group Tutorials is mandatory and participation and personal work of the student in Classroom Practices will be evaluated. However, in duly justified cases, attendance above 80% will be valid. To pass the subject, the written exam evaluation cannot be lower than 40% of its maximum value.
Classroom Practices and Group Tutorials: Active participation in all of them and the work done by each student will also be taken into account. 20% of the final grade of the student will correspond to the assessment of these aspects.
Final Assessment: At the end of the course, a written exam will be carried out to check the mastery of the subjects corresponding to the course, consisting of answering six to eight theoretical or theoretical-practical questions and solving calculation problems. 80% of the student's final numerical grade will correspond to the grade obtained in the exam.
• If the previous requirements are met, the final grade will be calculated with the grades obtained in the indicated aspects, taking into account the weighting percentages indicated above.
• In extraordinary calls that take place during an academic year, the final grade will be calculated with the grade obtained in the Classroom Practices and Group Tutorials of the immediately previous academic year in which the subject was taught, and the grade obtained in the final evaluation corresponding to the extraordinary call, taking into account the weighting percentages indicated above.
We will use graphic material, which as previously mentioned, will be made available to students in advance. We will encourage the consultation of specialized bibliography available in the library network of the University of Oviedo, as well as online resources (electronic publications, databases).
