INDUSTRY Innovating to increase resource e ciency and reduce industrial production risks

INDUSTRY

The ACADEMY by DHI provides training courses and

packages in topics related to industrial production

such as sustainability assessments, mining, and oil spill

analysis and wastewater treatment. We also provide

training in using our software tools to improve

industrial water and energy efficiency.

Enhanced productivity requires optimisation of

production processes and improved management

tools. This again requires a better understanding of

the various mechanisms. A cleaner production with a

focus on improved and safe productivity may be

achieved by utilising this knowledge.

Economic growth and enhanced production can have

significant impact on the environment and health.

However, our experience shows us that with the right

tools and knowledge, growth can be achieved without

endangering the environment.

This two-day thematic course provides the theoretical basis for the modelling of integrated urban water systems. It includes some interesting case studies of practical applications and hands-on exercises based on the WEST software package.

Both policy makers and the industry are increasingly realising the necessity of adopting an integrated approach to water management. Urban water management presents big challenges, but also great opportunities to minimise both the impact on the receiving water (and on the environment in general, e g energy and materials consumption, pollutants emission) and any costs. Options like water quality based real time control, sewer operation minimising odour and corrosion problems, global sewer control, construction of retention volumes and treatment facilities, water reuse, nutrient recovery, can be better designed and evaluated by using models, which include the interaction between all units involved. Optimising individual subsystems may not be the best solution for the entire system. The integrated assessment of the system provides the opportunity to develop holistic solutions and/or provide the justification for prioritising implementation plans in a manner that will provide the best value and greatest benefits for the receiving water.

COURSE TOPICS

This three-day course provides you with an understanding of an EIA, its structure and implementation. You will be given an overview of the various types of environmental impacts and their supporting tools. Finally, you will be introduced to the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM - developed by DHI), receive a copy of the software as well as be trained in using it.

EIAs have always suffered from subjective judgements that are difficult to quantify and present, leading to the criticism of EIA as a tool with insufficient transparency.

Good EIAs are based upon decision support tools, knowledge and skills. EIAs have developed into a universal tool for planning and have become mandatory, in one form or another, in all industrialised countries and in many developing countries. Accordingly, it is important to achieve a good understanding of EIAs and the decision support tools supporting EIAs, such as RIAM.

This one-day, thematic course gives you a practical introduction to data assessment, validity checking, and understanding the flow from sampling and transport to analysing data. You are introduced to how to interpret water quality data in order to avoid misunderstandings and wrong decisions based on false interpretation of data.

Water quality assessments are carried out all over the world and most systems are well structured, and with a variety of sampling frequencies. However, it is often seen that the management carried out on the basis of the analytical data are not taking the understanding of water quality variables into account.

Most users of water quality or quantity data take the value for granted and may use the data for large-scale projects, followed by large-scale financial investments. However, data should be used with great care to avoid taking decisions on false data.

COURSE TOPICS

Management and legislative background for water quality management

Scientific background of concepts of water quality and water management

Different types and systems for monitoring and reporting on water quality

Choosing sample stations

Sample representativeness of, for example, river or lake

This two-day course teaches you the fundamentals of 2D oil spill modelling using flexible mesh, how to setup and model the fate and transport of oil using the MIKE 21 Oil Spill model (OS) FM.

Oil spills pose serious threats to water environments and place massive pressure on the entities that are responsible for the emergency response and clean-up operations, such as oil companies and national authorities.

The Oil Spill module simulates the spreading and weathering of suspended substances using a dedicated oil spill template. Oil spill modelling is important for emergency response planning and environmental impact assessment. Oil spill models predict the spreading and weathering processes acting on the spilled oil. Results can be evaluated with respect to the impacts on flora, fauna and selected species or habitats.

This two-day, hands-on course gives you an introduction to model water quality in urban collection system networks using MIKE URBAN. The aim is to enable you to set up and run basic water quality models and to assess and present the simulation results. MIKE URBAN covers modelling of surface runoff, flows and water quality.

The water quality in the collection system and in the discharges/overflow has an impact on both the infrastructure and the recipients. The formation hydrogen sulphide in sanitary and combined sewer systems causes odour and corrosion nuisances as well as unsafe working environment. This is a serious problem, which affects large areas of a typical sanitary sewer system. The mitigation of the odour and corrosion damages is costly. Other examples are the combined sewer overflow to recipients, which impacts both the aquatic life and causes a health risk to human activities. The management and treatment of storm water quality is yet another topic, which also has impact on the receiving waters.

MIKE URBAN models the build-up and wash-off processes of water quality components on the surface which are thereafter transported by advection-dispersion by the flow in the network. The on-going biological processes are modelled using ECO Lab coupled to the MIKE 1D hydraulic engine.

COURSE TOPICS

Surface runoff quality

This course gives an overview of the OECD QSAR Toolbox and explains how it can be used to estimate missing data. The aim of the course is to make you familiar with the Toolbox so that after the course you may be able to use the Toolbox to fill data gaps yourself.

The QSAR Toolbox is used to fill in data gaps on toxicity and ecotoxicity data needed for assessing the potential hazards of chemicals. The Toolbox is mainly used:

To group chemicals into categories when physiochemical and human/health and/or environmental toxicological properties and/or environmental fate properties are similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity.

To fill data gaps based on read-across from one tested chemical to an untested chemical.

To search for experimental results.

To find out if a chemical substance is included in national regulatory inventories.

During the course we will explain how the Toolbox can be used for the above purposes. We will use the QSAR Toolbox Version 3.3., which is the most recent version released.

COURSE TOPICS

The basic steps of the Toolbox workflow

How the Toolbox can be used for data gap filling and read-across

Exploring the possibility of using the Toolbox for REACH registrations

The course is a mixture of presentations and hands-on computer exercises.

Upon completion of the course you will be familiar with the programme.

Depending on your background, you may also be able to fill in data gaps yourself

with the use of the Toolbox.


Anyone who wants to explore the possibility of filling data gaps to save time and

money but without having to carry out new laboratory tests. Preferably, you

should have good knowledge of chemistry and/or biology and be familiar with

At this one-day-course you will learn how to control allergens in a food production. Furthermore, you will learn how to incorporate risk assessment in overall risk analysis.

Consumers can be allergic to an infinite number of ingredients. However, some allergens cause allergic reactions more frequently. As a result, labelling is required on food containing certain allergens. This includes food containing milk, wheat, egg, shellfish, fish, celery or mustard. It is vital that the labelling is correct as incorrect labelling may be fatal to allergy sufferers.

For a food production comprehensive measures are required to keep track of allergens in production and packaging and on the labelling. We will guide you through the process - from identification of allergens to making the necessary provisions and fulfilling labelling requirements.

COURSE TOPICS

Clarification of food allergy and types of allergens

Why is it so difficult to determine a threshold limit value?

Risk analysis of food production with regard to allergens

Critical elements: staff, suppliers, raw material, equipment, processing,

consumer information, product development and documentation

What is required to obtain an exemption from labelling requirements?

The course is a mix of lectures and exercises, which are solved in groups.

At the course you will get a folder with current regulations and guidelines.

If you are interested in a particular subject pertinent to the course, please inform

us in advance. We will then try to include your subject in the course.


The course is relevant for staff in food companies, from suppliers of food

ingredients to companies handling pre-packed food. The course is especially

relevant for staff responsible for quality and operations. It is a prerequisite that

you are familiar with general risk analysis and HACCP.

I found the LITPACK course extremely helpful. The step-by-step instructions on how to build a model, involving the active participation of the trainee, allows him to grasp LITPACK procedures and its capabilities. Having attended this course one is able to immediately apply the acquired skills on a real project.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

This course should be essential for people new to modelling or people working directly with models/outputs. The time and money spent on the courses are easily justified by the time saved by avoiding basic mistakes in the future, which is costly to a project.
