WE ARE HIRING Process engineer / plasma expertise Full-time, on-site contract Location: Casarile (MI) Flow-nano is an innovative start-up that has developed a sustainable, high-performance electrode for next-generation flow batteries, mainly used for stationary applications. Flow batteries represent one of the most promising solution for Long Duration Energy Storage, to accomplish energy transition goals. The core of our innovation is a patented plasma-assisted nanoparticle jet deposition technology, where a non-thermal plasma ionizes and dissociates gaseous precursor molecules into radicals that evolve into nanoparticles. An adiabatic expansion cools the aerosol of gas and nanoparticles, transforming it into a supersonic jet. By directing the aerosol jet towards a target substrate (i.e. carbon fabric), the nanoparticles ballistically impact on it, forming a high area coating on its surface. A second treatment converts the nanoparticles into carbon nano onions and sinters them to the substrate, forming an electrochemically active high area coating. We are looking for a Process Engineer with plasma expertise who will join the team dedicated to scaling-up our technology. You role will include: - Supporting the design, implementation, start-up and maintenance of deposition and heat treatment equipment in controlled atmospheres - Optimizing production processes in the scale-up phase - Supporting technical troubleshooting of production machines - Interaction with supplier of equipment and critical components - Supporting the creation of Process Control procedures and standard - Interaction with R&D team to match output quality and throughput target

The Critical Role of Level Transmitter Calibration In the realm of chemical engineering, gas phase polymerization reactors are pivotal for producing high-quality polymers. One of the often-overlooked aspects of optimizing these systems is the precise calibration of level transmitters. Accurate measurement of solid bed height is essential for ensuring effective polymerization processes. 1. Enhancing Reaction Kinetics Level transmitters directly influence the accuracy of residence time within the reactor. Proper calibration allows for the optimal interaction between monomers and catalysts, maximizing conversion rates and improving yield. Engineers must understand that even minor deviations in solid bed height can significantly impact reaction kinetics, leading to suboptimal product formation. 2. Consistency in Product Properties Fluctuations in solid bed height can disrupt the reaction environment, resulting in variations in polymer properties. A well-calibrated level transmitter ensures consistent solid levels, contributing to uniform heat and mass transfer. This consistency is crucial for meeting specific product specifications, particularly in applications requiring precise molecular weights and polydispersity indices. 3. Mitigating Operational Risks Improperly calibrated level transmitters can lead to operational challenges. Low solid bed heights may result in poor mixing, hindering the reaction, while excessive heights can obstruct gas flow, risking reactor integrity and safety. Regular calibration and maintenance of these instruments are necessary to avoid process disruptions and maintain safety protocols. In conclusion, the calibration of level transmitters in gas phase polymerization reactors is a fundamental engineering practice that enhances reaction efficiency, ensures product consistency, and mitigates operational risks. As engineers, we must prioritize accurate measurements to drive innovation and maintain competitiveness in polymer production. #polymer #leveltransmitter

🌟 Key Considerations for Reaction Scale-Up 🌟 Scaling up chemical reactions involves critical factors to ensure process efficiency and maintain product quality. Below are some highlights: 1️⃣ Energy Dissipation (P/V): Maintaining consistent energy dissipation is key to ensuring uniform turbulence and effective mass transfer. Power input (P) and volume (V) are related by ε = P/V, a critical parameter for scaling turbulent reactions. 2️⃣ Reynolds Number & Mixing Regime: Determines whether mixing is laminar, turbulent, or transitional. Turbulent flow (NRe > 10,000) ensures optimal energy distribution. 3️⃣ Tip Speed & Shear: Tangential velocity (πDN) impacts shear-sensitive processes. Balance is essential to avoid product attrition or inefficiency in reactions. 4️⃣ Blend Time: Defines the time for homogenization, vital for fed-batch processes. Blend time (t95) depends on impeller design, RPM, and power input. 5️⃣ Semi-Batch Reactions: Effective feeding strategies (speed, points, position) enhance mixing and reaction selectivity. 6️⃣ Gas-Liquid-Solid Reactions: Ensure turbulent flow, effective gas dispersion, and catalyst suspension for optimal reaction rates. 💡 Scaling Success: For macro-mixing: Maintain constant blend time. For micro-mixing: Keep P/V constant and adjust feed parameters as volume scales. Efficient scale-up is the foundation of successful chemical processes—ensuring consistency from lab to production scale. Let’s connect and discuss innovative strategies in reaction engineering! 💬
