Job description

The Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemical Engineering is seeking a PhD candidate to contribute to our CO2 capture research in the project “Optimizing carbon capture simulation through advanced modelling tools-CapSim.” This project aims to improve CO2 capture simulation technology by applying state-of-the-art techniques for evaluating uncertainties in process modelling, experimental data, model parameters and modelling approaches to optimize the design, analysis and operation of complete capture processes. The project aims to develop accurate, robust software tools to be used in process simulators for standard and novel carbon capture processes. We aim to improve the robustness and efficiency of CO2 capture simulation for classical amine-based aqueous solvents as well as other solvents such as chilled ammonia, potassium carbonate solutions, demixing (phase-change) solvents, non-aqueous solvents, ionic liquids and others.The project is carried out in collaboration with our industrial partner Schlumberger and is part of the larger INNO-CCUS initiative in Denmark.The CERE group at DTU Chemical Engineering possesses expertise in both experimental measurement and modelling of phase equilibrium and thermodynamic properties. The centre is supported by a consortium of industrial partners, ensuring that the high-level research remains relevant and applicable in real-world contexts.Qualifications
You must have a two-year master’s degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master’s degree.We are seeking candidates who have skills in phase equilibrium calculation algorithms and their integration into CO2 capture simulation; thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties related to CO2 capture simulation. Candidates should possess strong programming skills and be familiar with thermodynamics and process simulation.Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see .We offer
