Centre for Energy Resources Engineering (CERE) at DTU Chemistry is seeking a talented PhD student to contribute to our exciting 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 focusing on two key areas: (1) improve the core multiphase reactive algorithm to enable us to handle complex reactions and multiphase equilibrium efficiently and robustly, and (2) better integrate thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena into the simulation, emphasizing their impact on simulation results. The goal of the project is to develop accurate, robust software tools to be used in process simulators for standard and novel carbon capture processes. The CapSim project has two main technical work packages corresponding to the above two key areas. The announced PhD position is in the first work package on algorithms and thermodynamic models. In this work package, we intend to develop RAND‐based CO2 capture simulation for next‐generation CO2 capture simulation techniques based on state‐of‐the‐art multiphase reaction algorithms and advanced thermodynamic models, and 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, and ionic liquids.
The CERE group at DTU Chemistry possesses extensive expertise in both experimental measurement and modelling of high-pressure phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties. Furthermore, the group excels in development of efficient phase equilibrium calculation algorithms for compositional simulations. The project is supported by a robust consortium of industrial and academic partners, ensuring that the high-level research remains relevant and applicable in real-world contexts.
Responsibilities and qualifications
For applicants to the PhD positions, 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 in disciplines like chemical engineering, applied chemistry, or petroleum engineering.
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 DTU's rules for the PhD education
Overall, we are specifically seeking candidates who have, or are willing quickly to acquire the following skills:
- Phase equilibrium calculation algorithms and their integration into CO2 capture simulation
- Thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibrium and thermophysical properties related to CO2 capture simulation.
All the candidates, especially those focusing on simulation and modeling, should possess strong programming skills. It is an advantage to be familiar with thermodynamics and process simulation.
