Job Summary

Project Description/ Deliverables:

Whilst minerals have been used for over a 100 years, new filtration challenges continue to be presented to us by our customers. This project is developing a new type absorbent filtration solution aimed at enhancing the purification of renewable diesel feedstocks. The interns will be hands-on in the laboratory for ~70% of their time, executing their designs-of-experiment, modifying the physical and chemical properties of the filter aids, and seeing how they perform in challenge tests. The other ~30% will be spent on experimental design and data analysis.

The deliverable will be a bullet point research report plus supporting slide deck, proving a specific structure-property relationship between prototype products and a customer specification.

Project Learning Objectives:
The interns are expected to develop independent observation/thinking, efficient experimental design, the ability to draw conclusions based on statistical analysis of data, and gain experience of working in an industrial research environment.

Environment:
Standing, walking, and operating equipment - up to 70-80% of work time.
Sitting - using computer work station etc. - up to 20-30% of work time.
The work environment is divided between material processing and storage areas (which can be hot and dusty) and air-conditioned laboratory test areas and work cubicles.
