Fully-funded PhD in Microwave Plasma Gasification of Non-recyclable Waste for Low-carbon Power Generation Lancaster University in United Kingdom

IMT Mines Albi is offering a 12-month postdoctoral position focused on pilot-scale gasification trials in France. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of engineers, technicians, and faculty working on thermal processes for the valorisation of biomass and waste. The research is centred on a 100-kW pilot-scale downdraft gasification unit . The main objective is to adapt the biomass gasification system so that it can operate in a nitrogen-free atmosphere . This is a critical ...
