PDEng position-Design of a devulcanization process for tire material in a twin screw at University of Twente

Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) programme Energy & Process Technology (EPT) offers you a 2-year position combining post-MSc education and a challenging design project at RubberGreen (www.rubbergreen.eu). The educational programme (~50%), carried out at the University of Twente (UT), will have an in-depth and broadening character with ample attention for professional development. This course programme is tailored to a design project (~50%) to be carried out in co-operation with RubberGreen. RubberGreen is a Belgian company active in rubber recycling and end-products manufacturing for antivibration, shock absorbing and mechanical protection in many different applications like railway infrastructures, construction, industries, etc… RubberGreen is willing to develop circular economy of rubber from tire recycling providing high quality devulcanized recycled rubber for the rubber industry.

The project: Design of a devulcanization process for tire material in a twin screw extruder
This project aims at designing a recycling process for natural rubber based tire rubber, giving a high quality re-plasticized rubber which can be added to virgin material with the least influence on the properties.
