Rese­arch Assist­ant - salary grade E 13 TV-L Ber­liner Hoch­schu­len

The Process Dynamics and Operations Group is looking for a new employee for an exciting research project the separation of C02 from biogas in a Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) together with the
Technical University in Lodz, Poland and the Technical University of Brno, Czech Republic. The aim is to answer questions such as how the absorption process can be intensified through the use of an RPB and how this process can be described using an equation-based model.

The following specific tasks are to be addressed:

• Model development with mass transfer according to Maxwell-Stefan
• Sensitivity studies regarding influencing factors of the model
• Model validation based on experimental data from the project partners for CO2/N2
• Revamp of existing plant for absorption of C02 from biogas
• Carrying out tests in our own existing test facility
• Model validation based on our own experimental data for CO2/CH4
