He/She will work in straight contact with our chemists and operations team to fully understand the current process and its chemistry and will have to develop specific engineering predictive models for the multi-component batch distillation and perform the lab trials to confirm the model. He/she will have the opportunity to directly apply in a real manufacturing environment the basic engineering concepts learnt at school, starting from the lab scale and identifying and sizing what will be necessary for the scale up. This will be a great opportunity to demonstrate and reinforce skills in organic and analytical chemistry, process engineering and scale up, keeping in mind the economical aspects while developing a financially sustainable solution. The candidate must be studying for a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry, or be a fresh graduate .He/she must be proficient in English and Italian mother tongue, with excellent PC skills. Initiative and teamwork will be considered strong assets.2012-04-26 18:20:00ItalyDow ChemicalNone1201666NoneMozzanica, ITA28203629http://dow.jobs/xml/28203629/job
