Task Study visit 2

Here you upload your task for study visit 2, please observe that both visit "a" and "b" are needed for a passed:

Task connected to the visit to be submitted on Canvas on assignment “Task Study Visit 2”:

Based on your notes from the "visits" (both a and b), sketch a process-flow diagram of the "visited" plants. A process-flow diagram uses “boxes” for processes and “arrows” for flows of material and energy.

Below are some questions to bear in mind when analysing a process:

• What are the material inputs and outputs?
• What are the energy inputs and outputs?
• Where do materials come from and where do they go?

You should include key processes and cleaning steps. If possible, quantify the flows (e.g. 1 ton waste going in, 200 kg of ashes going out sent to special landfill). It is not necessary to describe the processes (e.g. “combustion in moving-grate furnace” or “combustion” are both equally fine).

The main flows and processes should be included for a “pass”.

Software tip: the examples provided on Canvas/Files/Assignments (Example of flowcharts.docx Download Example of flowcharts.docx

) have been made using the freeware “yEd” but you are free to use any software you like (e.g. draw.io,…) and even “paper and pencil”!
