WO Graduate Internship Chemical/ Mechanical Engineering

Wat ga je doen?

The steel industry contributes to nearly 7% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands. At Tata Steel IJmuiden, we are committed to reducing our CO2 emissions with 35 - 40% by 2030 and being CO2-neutral by 2045. To meet the target, we are exploring various options to reduce our CO2 emissions. One of the options is to capture CO2 from the steel plant’s works arising gases using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technique.

The research activities in this assignment include:

• Modeling a dynamic PSA cycle operation for CO2 capture from steel gases using MATLAB/Aspen Adsorption tool, testing and validation of the model
• Extensive optimization of the different PSA cycle steps, with the focus on achieving reduced CO2 capture cost
• Testing of the PSA cycle for different steel gas mixtures (top gases from blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace, direct reduced iron furnace)
• Studying the influence of trace pollutants like NH3, H2S, COS present in the steel gases on the adsorbent material
• Making a process flow design of the PSA system integrated to the steel plant gas network using flowsheeting tool

Herken jij jezelf hierin?

• You are a MSC student in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering
• You are interested in process development
• You have experience with numerical simulations
• You are looking for a graduate internship.

The assignment is intended for an internship of eight to nine months.

Wat bieden wij jou?

We offer you a paid internship with proper guidance. In consultation with you, we start with drawing up your assignment to make sure that it fits the requirements of your university. You can gain valuable experience within a large organization and Dutch only manufacturing industry. You can count on a no-nonsense and result-oriented organization, within which you can make a concrete contribution to the realisation of improvement objectives.

During your training period you can regularly participate in events such as student tours and lunch lectures. We also offer the possibility to make use of our Library Services. When you are in your final Master of Bachelor internship, you can temporarily become part of our internal Association for young professionals "The Magnet".

Wat is jouw werkomgeving?

The project will be conducted within R&D department of Tata Steel Ijmuiden with great opportunities for networking and being closely involved in the future developments. On a daily base you will working in the R&D innovation centre office, surrounded with other students and colleaguas with different kinds of know-how.
