Bulk Materials and Waste Products (CQU)

Generating plants process significant amounts of fuel and waste products. The reliable operation and effective maintenance of bulk materials transport and processing systems is crucial to the successful operation of a power plant. The inherent nature of many conventional power generation plants and processes means that waste products and emissions will be created. This course will provide students with an understanding of the key factors and issues to be considered in relation to the conveyance of bulk materials and waste products, including the relationship between the processing of raw materials, power generation processes and waste materials and emissions management. The student will be able to assess methods for control and capture of emissions and the benefit to the environment.

• Design and select appropriate conveyancing equipment for new or replacement materials handling plant
• Design and establish maintenance strategies for existing materials handling plant
• Identify and resolve flow problems related to bulk materials handling
• Describe emission and effluent control processes, their application strengths and weaknesses
• Identify and resolve operational and maintenance problems related to materials handling
• Apply the relevant standards for materials handling
