Processing technologies and systems for production of hydrogen, syngas, liquid fuel as well as heat and power from various energy resources including traditional fossil fuels and renewable resources (such as biomass); energy related environmental issues and analysis; energy system optimisation; energy related electrochemical systems.
Processing technologies and systems for production of hydrogen, syngas, liquid fuel as well as heat and power from various energy resources including traditional fossil fuels and renewable resources (such as biomass); energy related environmental issues and analysis; energy system optimisation; energy related electrochemical systems. Topics include: • Hydrogen, syngas and liquid fuel from biomass and organic solid wastes (8L); • System analysis and optimisation for biomass to liquid fuels (2L); • Fuel cells and power storage (10L); • Refining and processing of Gaseous and Liquid Fossil Fuels (10L).
At the end of this course, the students are expected to:Understand issues and potential opportunities in energy sector. Understand the technologies and systems for production of hydrogen, syngas and liquid fuels from biomass and organic solid wastes.Understand the technologies and systems for production of hydrogen, syngas, liquid fuels and energy from natural gas and oil as well as related CO2 emission issue.Understand the technologies and systems of fuel cells and electricity storage.

PREREQUISITES FOR THIS COURSE: ENGR404. This is a required course for energy minor in the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering. However, if the energy minor certificate is not required, students without taking ENGR404 may also be allowed to take ENCH483 with approval of Director of 3rd Pro Studies. RELATION TO OTHER COURSES: ENCH483 is an optional 3rd Professional course however, it is required for students who want to receive a certificate of energy process minor.
Assessment:Assignment 1 (Fuel cells and power storage), 15%;Assignment 2 (Liquid and gaseoud fuels from biomass and organic solid wastes), 15% Assignment 3 (Refining and processing of Gaseous and Liquid Fossil Fuels), 15% Final Exam 55%Completion of all assessment items is a requirement for passing this course. Students may apply for special consideration if their performance in an assessment worth 10% or more is affected by circumstances including illness, bereavement, and some sporting events. Please see http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/exams/ for more information or ask the course coordinator. If students are unable to complete assessment items worth less than 10% of the course, or feel that their performance was or could be impaired, they should contact the course coordinator for special consideration. Such requests should be made before the assessment completion date - requests after this time will only be considered under special circumstances. Students prevented by circumstances from completing the course after the final date for withdrawing, may apply for special consideration for late discontinuation of the course.
