Environmental EngineeringLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After the course the student will be able to
1. explain what the contaminants of flue gas of diesel, gas engine, gas turbines and steam boilers contain
2. list, what constructive, control and use of the factors affecting the exhaust pollutant levels and the manner in which
3. explain how the diesel and gas engine exhaust gases and flue gases are cleaned
