Thesis (B/m): Test Execution and Evaluation On a

vor 7 Monaten


SulzbachRosenberg, Deutschland Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology Vollzeit

The Advanced Carbon Conversion Technologies department is now offering a thesis on the topic of “Implementation and evaluation of test campaigns on a pyrolysis plant to optimize the plant parameters with regard to the oil yield as part of the EU project ‘SEAFAIRER’.

The finite nature of fossil fuels is increasingly forcing a rethink in energy policy. Fossil fuels can be replaced through the intensive use of biogenic residues. In order to drive this development forward, a promising new pyrolysis technology for the conversion of biogenic residues into high-quality energy sources such as biochar, hydrogen-rich synthesis gases and bio-crude oils is being operated and optimized as part of the European funding project Seafairer. The main focus of this thesis is the implementation and evaluation of the test campaigns with various feedstocks at the VINTER conversion plant as well as optimization measures within the scope of the project.

**What you will do**
- Optimization measures on the pilot plant to maximize the desired yield
- Carrying out the test campaigns in shift operation
- Derivation and implementation of optimization measures for plant operation
- Preparation of the test results
- Derivation of process parameters for optimized plant control
- Elaboration and visualization of the results

**What you bring to the table**

Must have:

- Class B driver's license
- You are enthusiastic, committed and enjoy working independently
- Very good language skills in German and English

Nice to have:

- High technical affinity and interest in practical work in a creative environment
- Interest in technical and ecological issues
- Experience in a chemical-physical laboratory

**What you can expect**
- Be part of our team to shape a resource-conserving future together
- We offer a varied, creative working day at the interface between business and science
- We live modern working models, such as New Work and diversity
- Flexitime, home office, digital - we offer you flexible and mobile working as well as a wide range of options for balancing work and private life
- Right from the start, we support you in your individual career development through comprehensive further development opportunities and accompanying programs
- We support our employees by offering comprehensive health and mindfulness programs for a good balance
- You can find even more attractive benefits here: Fraunhofer UMSICHT as an employer
