NETL Calling for Chemical Engineering Student Who Has Completed 2 Years

National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) –Physical Scientist

Morgantown, WV

Apply by 4/30/20

Through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), this posting seeks an undergraduate student to engage in projects regarding novel processes for conversion of coal to energy and useful chemicals at the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The new processes have to be more economical than the current commercial coal conversion technologies and should contribute to no carbon dioxide emissions. These processes involve both catalytic and non-catalytic methods. Analysis of energy and material balances to obtain the optimum process will be conducted. Laboratory scale experiments will also be conducted to obtain parameters necessary for the optimization process.

Goals of the project are to provide the student with the following skills:
1.    Processes for coal conversion to energy and valuable chemicals
2.    Heat and material balances for the processes and process optimization
3.    Use computer programs necessary for energy analysis
4.    Conduct laboratory experiments to get necessary data for the energy analysis
The successful candidate will be:
·      An undergraduate in chemical engineering who has completed two years of necessary course work.
Program information: Detailed information about the program can be found at http://www.orau.gov/netl/. Please send a CV to Ranjani Siriwardane at ranjani.siriwardane@netl.doe.gov.
How to apply: Information in regard to the opportunity and a link to the application can be found athttps://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/NETL-2020-PIP-Siriwardane-1.
