Research Engineer in hydrogen production processes - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The research engineer will contribute to the project funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 – Swedish Knowledge Centre for Renewable Transportation Fuels. The project will present studies on four different routes to produce hydrogen for the hydrodeoxygenation of bio-oil from pyrolysis. This hydro-deoxygenated biooil will then be used to produce transportation fuels. More details of the project can be found at https://f3centre.se/sv/forskningsprojekt/processer-for-produktion-av-drivmedel-via-deoxygenerad-bioolja/

The main tasks of the research engineer are 1) literature review of processes for biomass to transportation fuels 2) process modelling and simulation of the identified routes for hydrogen generation using Aspen Plus/Aspen Hysys/MATLAB 3) assisting project partners in techno-economic evaluation 4) report the results in technical reports and journal articles.
