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 [email protected] (quote vacancy number 3mE20-07 in the subject of email) including:
- Detailed CV
- Motivation letter
- At least 2 references.
