• Name of Institute : Max Planck Computing and Data Facility

• Required Personnel : 1

• Duration for the fellowship : 6 months (TBD)

• Skills required from the students

Storage and transportation of hydrogen is quite difficult and expensive particularly for long durations and long distances respectively. And it becomes even more difficult, if decentralized consumers with an inconsistent, relatively low or fluctuating demand has to be serviced. Especially in regions with relatively low potential of sun or wind  power an economoic factor for electrolyzers comes along.

Our solution offers modular plants for the cracking of ammonia to generate hydrogen or hydrogen/ammonia/nitrogen mixtures. Currently we build a plant with a capacity of about 1 kg H2 per hour. The energy supply is completely based on renewable electricity. The process is based on an ohmic reactor where the catalyst itself is heated, which is very beneficial for the endothermic reaction. No additional heat supply is needed, hydrogen can internally separated by membranes, the system can be operated  very dynamic and under moderate pressure.

During the internship period the student will work on an experimental test-bench for ammonia reforming to gain hydrogen. The plant is operated with a so called ohmic where the catalyst support has a defined electric conductivity and subsequently it can be heated directly without any other additional heating cycle and the process can operated very dynamical and flexible. During operation the influence of process parameters as flow rate, temperature shall be varied and the influence on conversion and selctivity described.

The results shall be used to optimsed an existing process model.

Process simulation and modelling shall moreover used for an initial design of H2/N2 separation. And several posibilities therefore, e. g. adsorption, membranes shall be  compared and assessed.

• Job Description

Study and knowledge in process engineering. Practical knowledge in operating test-benches is beneficial but not necessary. Good knowledge in process simulation, chemical technologies, thermodynamics are important expertises. After a first initial training independent, reliable and safe work is expected. The ability to work and  communicate in interdisciplinary teams is a further important basis for the internship work.

Very good knowledge of English language is necessary.
