THE CANDIDATE
An accomplished senior engineer with knowledge and understanding of gas adsorption processes and experience of process design and simulation. The ideal candidate will have the ability to work independently on the design and development of gas adsorption systems. With a detailed knowledge and understanding of gas adsorption, they will be able to analyse and interpret experimental data, build novel mathematical and computational models, and design and optimise high-performance swing adsorption systems (PVSA/TSA). Collaborative teamwork is essential, as you will play a pivotal role in advancing innovative materials and the associated systems. This is an important role in a growing team, as such Immaterial are willing to support a visa application for high-quality candidates wishing to relocate internationally.
KEY SKILLS & EXPERIENCES • A PhD in adsorption process engineering or a related discipline, or at least four years of postgraduate experience. • Good knowledge of gas adsorption, adsorption kinetics, and separation technologies. • At least 5 years experience (which may include the PhD) in design and modelling of gas adsorption systems gained in an industrial or academic setting. • A good understanding of the use of novel adsorbents (MOFs, zeolites) in gas adsorption systems. • A good understanding of materials properties data (isotherms, breakthrough etc) and the ability to interpret and use them correctly. • Experience of process simulation and design tools, such as gPROMS, Aspen Adsorption, and COMSOL. • A team player with strong customer focus, with excellent communication and influencing skills, able to interact effectively with science, engineering and other colleagues.
DESIRABLE SKILLS & EXPERIENCE • Experience with materials characterization techniques including gas uptake measurements, dynamic column breakthrough, and ZLC. • Experience designing, building and operating custom adsorption rigs.
