  • ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - Duration : 0.5 Day

      • Other pollution mechanisms: soil, solid waste, noise, smells. Prevention and remediation.
      • Importance of environmental regulations. Environmental impact assessment. ISO 14001 standard.

Learning Objectives

  • Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
  • List the design and optimization criteria of a utility production scheme (steam, electricity, water, air) with regard to environmental constraints,
  • Identify operational optimization points for utility units and networks, taking into account environmental constraints.

Ways & Means

  • Videos to demonstrate the implementation of the various technologies.
  • Practical exercises on the design and/or operation of each utility.
  • Actual case studies, learning games and quizzes to test participants' learning.

Learning assessment

  • Multiple-choice questionnaires.
