PhD Student in Effect of Amine-carry on CO2 Transport - DTU Chemical Engineering

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946.

Primary career market

Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). DTU Chemical Engineering is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on CO2 quality assessment, and pilot-scale CO2 capture. The position is part of a large MSCA project called MISSION-CCS focused towards accelerating the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies worldwide.

You will investigate amine-carry over in CO2 produced in CO2 capture. Small impurities will be carried into the gas transportation system which include compression and liquefaction. The impurities will pose a safety and lifetime estimation risk to the system as they are very corrosive.

There is a need to expand the knowledge of impurities during transportation of compressed and liquefied CO2 under the impact of relevant impurities. The investigations must consider corrosion and lifetime estimation to qualify the materials used for the transportation of CO2. We expect you to have knowledge from the lab and an understanding of the chemistry in these systems.

We expect you to be motivated by traveling and being abroad. We seek a highly motivated candidate with a background in chemical or process engineering and strong experimental and analytical skills1 …
