PhD scholarship on Modelling and Improvement of Full-Scale Environmental Operations - DTU Chemical Engineering

Job description

A PhD position is available in the Process and Systems Engineering Center (PROSYS) at DTU Chemical Engineering in the frame of our ongoing industrial collaboration with Novonesis A/S. At PROSYS, we have dedicated our work towards the creation of more sustainable future processes. Our philosophy is that experimentation and modelling are both of prime importance and should preferably complement each other in our research projects. By combining systematic model-based methods and tools (PSE) with experimental validation of novel production processes, our objective is to address the necessary process technology and engineering required to develop and implement sustainable industrial production processes of the future. You will be based at the PROSYS at DTU Chemical Engineering and will work in close collaboration with the Environmental Operations department at Novonesis, who run the largest (in terms of organic load) wastewater treatment plant in Northern Europe in Kalundborg. Responsibilities and qualifications: Fermentation is a key technology that contributes significantly towards achieving more sustainable production systems. However, fermentation also produces wastewater, and this...
