CM5036: PROCESSES, MATERIALS AND BIOREMEDIATION FOR THE ENERGY INDUSTRY (2019-2020)

Last modified: 25 Sep 2019 09:58


Course Overview

Oil and gas exploration has often proven to be an intrinsic threat to the environment. In this course, you will learn how to assess and prevent risks, and recognise components of risk assessment. You will learn concepts of chemical and biological processes for environmental remediation, and how to critically compare and select remediation strategies for particular types of contamination, as for example oil spills in the sea or on land. Environmental toxicology topics will be covered. The course is supported by practical classes which will develop skills used in assessing and reducing the impact of chemicals.
