Introduction of Sustainable Process Integration Laboratory (SPIL) By SPIL Team, led by Key SPIL Researcher Jiří Jaromír KLEMEŠ 2nd Sustainable Process Integration Laboratory Scientific Conference: Energy, Water, Emission and Waste in Industry and cities. Brno University of Technology, 30-31 August 2018 Overview of SPIL • Established at the NETME Centre, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Brno University of Technology • The project commenced on 1 February 2017, and will last five years • Comprised of an international research team, supervised by Prof Jiří J Klemeš • The SPIL project has been drafted by Mgr Lenka Zemanová, MPA. • Funded by EC from the Operational Program Research, Development and Education by Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport Brno University of Technology • Public university founded in 1899 • The second oldest and the largest technical university in the Czech Republic • 3,000 employees, ~23,000 students at 8 faculties. • 26 study programmes are offered in a foreign language • One of the current top priorities is to achieve a high quality of research and development • Cooperation with industry (e.g. Škoda Auto, IBM, ABB, ČEZ, Siemens, Zetor, ŽĎAS, Honeywell and many others) Sport Centre Rectorate Office Campus NETME Centre Faculty of Mechanical Engineering • Founded in 2010 • One of the two public centres focused on advanced mechanical engineering technologies, alongside the Regional Technological Institute of the University of West Bohemia, Pilsen. • Supports horizontal mobility of research workers not only among national and foreign R&D organisations but also between BUT and the application sector • The centre cooperates with leading universities and companies. 40 % contracted research is from international companies. Main Building of FME NETME Centre SPIL Project <netme.cz/cs/spil/> • Operational Programme Research, Development and Education • Priority axis 1: Reinforcing capacities for high-quality research • Investment priority 1: Reinforcement of research and innovation infrastructure and capacities for the development of outstanding level of research and innovation and support of expert centres, in particular those that are of interest at the European level • Call: Support of Excellent Research Teams The Basic Outputs 1. Building a top-quality heterogeneous international research team 2. Extending infrastructure in the area of instrumentation and building the Sustainable Process Integration Laboratory (SPIL) 3. Forming long-term strategic partnerships with four prestigious foreign research universities Description of Scientific Project • Principal aim - to achieve unique and practically applicable knowledge that would contribute to increased efficiency of process and energy industry • Focused on minimising the greenhouse gases, NOx, energy and water footprints searching for a complex solution in the area of energy savings. Research Agenda The 12 Main Objectives 1. A comprehensive state-of-the-art analysis in the following areas and their combinations. 2. Extending and developing an advanced methodology for Total Site and regional integration methodology for thermal energy. 3. Extending the methodology for water and waste water minimisation and water and energy minimisation. 4. Extending the methodology into power (electricity) Total Site and Regional Integration. 5. Development of the methodology for further minimisation of Greenhouse gas footprints (including the carbon footprints). 6. Development of the methodology for minimisation of Nitrogen footprints. Research Agenda 7. Development of the methodology for minimisation of Water footprints (specified as blue, green, and grey footprints). 8. Study and suggestions for minimisation of virtual footprints – including GHG, Nitrogen, and Water footprints. 9. Study and suggestions for reduction of the environmental impact of energy and water flows. 10. Extending and developing advanced procedures and tools. 11. Resource (energy, water, etc.) improvement road- mapping 12. Knowledge transfer and dissemination, with user feedback.
