Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Home Courses Designing Climate-Neutral Industry and Electricity Generation Course materials Lectures 1.2.1 Gas, solid and liquid waste

1.2.1 Gas, solid and liquid waste

Course subject(s) 1. Industrial sources of emissions and mitigation options

In this video, we will examine our pulp mill case study as the selected industry example, analysing its mass balance (input and output streams) and the various sub-systems that constitute it.  Ultimately, we will discuss important features in the understanding of the overall environmental impact of an industrial plant.

Key takeaways:

  • There are different types of effluents (not only CO2 as main gas emission); gas wastes, liquid wastes and solid wastes
  • It is important to “close the mass balance” to appropriately evaluate the environmental impact of an industrial plant
  • “Closing the mass balance” is needed to appropriately evaluate potential improvements in an industrial plant (i.e. reducing the use of fossil fuels)
