Green Engineering for saving environment:
Green Engineering for saving environment
Now a days Our planet suffers from dangerous
problem of pollution, global warming etc. which is harmful to our natural environment. The
Pollution & Global warming problem is upsetting
government and society in general and is endangering health and the
environment. The solution to fight against pollution & global warming
is development & implementation of green technologies under Green
Engineering.
So , we should understand
, What is Green
Engineering ? What are green technologies we can develop ? What
is our role in green engineering?
Green engineering is
the design, commercialization, and use
of processes and products in a way that reduces pollution, promotes
sustainability, and minimizes risk to human health and the environment without
sacrificing economic viability and efficiency.
We should develop
equipments & Process as well as practices under Green Engineering like
1)Waste
water treatment: Developments water
treatments products & processes helps to treat waste water at max. level to
utilise in various applications. Key developments include membrane filtration,
microbial fuel cells, nanotechnology, development of biological treatments and
natural treatment systems such as wetlands.
2)Elimination
of industrial emissions: Development of Regenerative Thermal
Oxidation (RTO), Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation (RCO) systems, DeNOx systems
etc. helps to eliminate industrial emissions to avoid environment
damage
3)Recycling
and waste management: Development &
use technologies such as smart containers, automated food waste tracking
systems and automated optical scanning technologies can help sort mixed
plastics by separating them from others helps to
recycle it in useful products like composts, Biogas,plastic granuals etc.
4)Self-sufficient
buildings:
Developments & use of Aluminum Weather Resistant
Insulated Access Panel to regulate indoor temperature and prevent moisture and
pests from entering, Energy Efficient Windows, Green Roof, Solar Power, Water
Conservation, Recycling, Landscaping.
5)
Generation of energy from the waves: Development & uses devices like wave converters helps to generate electrical energy from wave power.
6)Vehicles
that do not emit gases : Development & uses Electrical
vehicle, ecological vehicles helps in reducing the polluting
gases in the atmosphere, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and compounds of lead and
Sulphur dioxide.
7) Harnessing
solar energy: Development
& uses solar technologies to
convert sunlight into electrical energy like photovoltaic (PV) panels, mirrors
that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate
electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.
8. Vertical gardens and farms: The installation of vertical
.
gardens in buildings also helps save energy and brings many
benefits to the environment. Vertical gardens don’t need watering
routines that involve unnecessary use of water, and because they are installed
along a wall, they reduce the intense hearing pollution that comes from the
outside and even that one that you can generate
Green engineering is the
new trend for the construction, automobile, manufacturing industries. Under
Green Engineering, few innovations are in progress like Zero Energy Buildings, Use
of waste to create concrete alternatives. This is
good news for environmentalist that would want to adopt it & make a change
positively. Adopting & practicing it delivers economic, environmental, and
social benefits. If we all practices green technologies, it would be
easier for humans to meet their needs without depleting natural resources. It
is good for each to shift into green engineering for a sustainable development.
