Intern in “treatment of secondary effluent and its effect on nanofiltration performance”

Nanofiltration (NF) is gaining increasing attention as a key technology in the production of high-quality water from treated wastewater. However, its long-term performance and selectivity can be significantly influenced by the quality of the feed water. Goal of this project is to investigate the effect of different pre-treatment methods on the performance of a hollow fiber nanofiltration membrane in the treatment of secondary effluent from a source-separated wastewater treatment plant (greywater) in The Netherlands.

In this internship project, you will work with a laboratory-scale setup already installed at Wetsus. The NF units will be operated over an extended period to assess their long-term stability, selectivity, and overall performance.

Operating and optimizing different pretreatment units

Running nanofiltration experiments and monitoring membrane performance in relation to the quality of the treated water produced by different pretreatments

Evaluating system stability under different operational conditions

Assist with operation and optimisation of pretreatment and NF units

Prepare samples for water quality analyses (conventional wastewater parameters, ion composition, organic micropollutants)

Participate in pilot plant sampling and sample preparation

BSc or MSc student with background in one of the following fields:

A valid driving license is considered a plus

Enrolment in an EU university, for non-EU residents, enrolment in a Dutch university is obligatory

Experience with setting up and running experiments

Hands-on experience in various analytical techniques (water analysis)

Experience working in an international research environment
