Short description:

We offer an internship for a student (level : technician or engineer), to participate in a pilot study on a new technology in an industrial park in Ferrara, Italy.

Context

Veolia, the world leader for Water & Waste, is a circular economy champion. This innovative project aims at transforming waste salts into valuable base & acid that can replace fresh products. This emerging technology already has a few full-scale references, but it is the first for this specific application.

He/she will perform daily operations like checking everything is OK, operating the pilot (filling or emptying small tanks, opening valves, using the automated system) and performing simple maintenance tasks under the supervision of our operators. He/she will perform analytical tasks in the lab located on the site, after being teached how to do this. He/she will download & analyse the data from the supervision. A report will be written. For an engineer-level trainee (like 3rd year engineering) : in addition, the trainee will perform a bibliographic search, he/she will meet with suppliers of resins or do additional tests to ascertain that the products of the pilot can effectively be used for regeneration, he/she might have duties like improving the pilot, designing & testing new functionnalities as well as dealing with the automation.
