What you will do

Start date: October 2022

To achive a sustainable circular economy, environmentally friendly wastewater treatment is a key step. A promising approach is to combine green treatment technologies to eliminate the maximum possible amount of pollutants in wastewater. In this project, the performance of a new reactor shall be demonstrated at laboratory scale to determine the target parameters of a pilot plant.

• Literature review (state of the art and current research, working methods and efficiency determination).
• Planning and construction of laboratory setups, design of experiment (DoE), and conduct of experiments.
• Data evaluation, interpretation, comparison with literature, and presentation of results.

What you bring to the table

• You are a student of process engineering, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry, mechanical engineering, or related field.
• You have expierience working in chemical laboratories.
• You are confident working independently and you are a good communicator.
• You are computer literate (MS Office).
• You are able to lead a scientific discussion in English (or in German).
• It is possible to conduct the work completely in English.
• You will be encouraged to operate independently supported by our scientific and technical experts.
