Master Studentship on Sensor Development for Optimisation of Anaerobic Digesters, Cranfield University, UK

Supported by the Yorkshire Water, a studentship of up to £17,000 p.a. for 1 year plus fee is available.
Anaerobic digestion is one of the most exciting areas in the wastewater business due to recent initiatives on renewable energy production and concerns on reduction of carbon emissions and impact on climate change.

Yorkshire Water, winner of the Big Tick Award of Excellence from Business in the Community in ‘Climate Change’ for activities to drive energy efficiency and increase renewable generation for 2008, together with Cranfield University are currently looking for a suitable candidate to develop a sensor to monitor and optimise anaerobic digesters. The suitable applicant will develop a sensor for measurement of volatile fatty acids in mesophilic anaerobic digesters and assess its application for detecting early signs of process imbalance at full-scale wastewater treatment works at Yorkshire Water.

The MSc project will be developed with academics at Cranfield University but the successful candidate will spend most of the time at Yorkshire Water, who will be sponsoring the programme. In return the applicant will be offered an excellent working environment, travel opportunities and a competitive bursary.
