Module Overview
The module introduces the basic principles of industrial systems integration. It will present a thorough overview of the systems integration field and the decision processes involved. The module will then disseminate the methods and tools employed in systems integration decision making.  The industrial case studies for the module are held jointly with the Energy Systems (ENG 3153) module.
Prerequisites/Co-requisites
Completion of the progress requirements of Level HE2
Module Aims
 Environmental Design Integration for Atmospheric Emissions and Integrated Industrial Water Systems Design will be considered with examples from specific process applications. Design heuristics and simple graphical tools that allow the determination of systems performance targets will be covered first using the above process systems examples. The module will then convey design strategies based on grassroots as well as retrofit design scenarios. Concepts will be illustrated on the basis of simple optimisation techniques; the latter related to linear programming. The students will also cover an introduction to the applications of linear matrix construction for process systems optimisation
