Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a research associate to join the GBC centre to investigate the development and scaling of new carbon capture facilities using novel processing and sorbent materials. This will include the characterisation of flow and sorption characteristics within the capture vessel and testing on real flue gases. The successful applicant should have experience of working on live emitter sites at scale. This is an experimental project that will provide purified carbon dioxide for use by other partners in the GBC Centre to produce value-added chemicals.
Responsibilities
* Investigate the development and scaling of new carbon capture facilities using novel processing and sorbent materials.
* Characterise flow and sorption characteristics within the capture vessel and conduct testing on real flue gases.
* Collaborate with partners in the GBC Centre to supply purified carbon dioxide for use by other partners in the centre to produce value-added chemicals.
Qualifications
* PhD (or equivalent experience) in a relevant discipline.
* Experience of working with pressure vessels at scale.
* Experience of working on live emitter sites with raw flue gases.
