No Offer Description Job description Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a complementary measure to prevent climate change. Depending on the CO2 source and the carbon tehcnology employed, the captured CO2 stream may contain a wide variety of impurities that can pose challenges during transportation and storage. Among these, NOx and SOx are of particular interest because they can react to form acids, increasing the risk of pipeline corrosion. In this joint industry-academia project, you will experimentally investigate the phase behavior and flow chareacteristics of high pressure CO2 containing acidic impurities. The project involves measuring the solubility of acidic components in high pressure CO2 under gaseous, liquid, and supercritical conditions, as well as examining the flow behavior of these mixtures. Experimental work will be carried out using a high pressure vapor-liquid equilibrium cell and a CO2 flowloop, both of which are available but may require modifications to accommodate the planned measurements. The project will be conducted within the Process and Energy Department at the faculty of Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft, under supervision of Dr. Mahinder Ramdin and Prof. Rene Pecnik.
