Postdoc position: Water Electrolysis and Bio-Oil Gasification Integration for Fuel Production 1805 views

The Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is inviting applications in Postdoc position in Water Electrolysis and Bio-Oil Gasification Integration for Fuel Production.

About the project:
  • The project’s framework, financed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, concerns pressurised gasification of biomass-derived pyrolysis oil using pure oxygen.
  • In this project TU Delft collaborates with BTG (Biomass Technology Group B.V.) in Enschede.
  • Within the project a process simulation study is to be performed towards optimisation of the process integration of bio-oil gasification with energy storage, which means the integration with larger-scale water electrolysis producing hydrogen and oxygen simultaneously.
  • This study is aimed at improving models of the conversion of bio-oil in gasification, as the fast pyrolysis step forms the initiation of the chemical conversion and also –next other gasifier process parameters- determines the gasification characteristics.

Requirements:

  • Candidate must have experience in experimental work regarding (thermo-chemical) biomass/waste conversion as well as process system modeling.
  • Excellent background is expected in the following areas: thermo-chemistry, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and physical transport phenomena (heat and mass transfer).
  • Candidate is expected to have good communication skills and to be a team player in a multidisciplinary setting.
  • Candidate must possess good oral and written knowledge of English.

Applications:

Application to be sent via e-mail to application-3mE@tudelft.nl (quote vacancy number 3mE20-07 in the subject of email) including:

  • Detailed CV
  • Motivation letter
  • At least 2 references.
