Industrial processes often generate wastewater streams rich in dissolved salts, many of which were initially used within production. These salts can pose a challenge for wastewater treatment, but they also offer an opportunity: recovery and reuse of specific ions can reduce environmental impact and improve the sustainability of industrial operations.Your goalIn this internship, you will explore innovative treatment and reuse strategies for saline industrial wastewaters using electro-membrane technologies such as Electrodialysis (ED), Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR), and Electrodialysis with Bipolar Membranes (BPMED). The focus will be on separating and recovering valuable or reusable components from real or synthetic wastewaters.What will you be doing? We have listed it for you:
  • Conduct laboratory experiments to find optimal operational parameters for electrodialysis processes in wastewater treatment.
  • Evaluate wastewater streams of interest to which ED processes can be applied.
Work on real applied research in circular wastewater treatment which can help bring innovative solutions to the market in the future. Prior experience with electrodialysis is a plus but not required. Chemical know-how, together with the will to learn, are more important.Who are you?
  • Enrolled in a Dutch BSc or MSc Environmental study, (Bio) Process or Environmental Engineering.
  • Available for an internship for a minimal period of 4 months.
  • Flexible and independent.
  • Curious and analytical.
  • Professional command of the English language in words and writing. Command of the Dutch language is desirable, but not required.
Working for us means
  • An internship allowance of € 350,- per month based on full-time employment.
  • Possibility of a contract after your graduation.
  • A buddy who will show you around in our organization.
  • Reimbursement of travel expenses of €0.23 cents per km up to a maximum of 75 km if you live further than 10 km from our office and do not have an Ov-card.
