Overview
Supported by EPSRC, Anglian Water, Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent Water and Scottish Water, a studentship of £19,000 p.a. for the first 2 years, rising to £20,000 in the third and final year is available, plus fees*
In the late 80's most utilities opted for advanced treatment processes to meet forthcoming legislation in 1989. Many water utilities were facing the challenge of rigorous pesticide quality standards and installed new processes such as activated carbon and ozone (GAC/O3) as the panacea. At the time this multi-barrier approach was world leading but it is not clear if it is 'fit for purpose' for the new legislation or treatment challenges.
This exciting 4 year EngD programme at Cranfield University, in collaboration with Anglian Water, Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent Water, and Scottish Water, will address the question of what water treatment will look like in 2020-2030 ahead of proposed new water quality regulation in 2015. The main aim of the work is to generate a realistic vision of the technologies required in a 21st century water treatment works.
Given the uncertainty in predicting the future (i.e. raw water quality, future standards, energy etc.) the aim of this project is to define the attributes that individual technologies and/or flowsheets must possess to future proof a treatment works against the challenges ahead. Central to this is the need for future technology to be inherently robust such that it provides high levels of process reliability against the variability of flow and load that are expected as well as the capability to fail safe as part of the overall flowsheet.
This EngD studentship is part of the stream programme, allowing talented researchers to develop their skills and careers within an industrial environment.
Closing date: 2nd May 2010
Interview date:19th May 2010 (All interviews to be held at Cranfield University.)
Start date: 1st October 2010
Entry requirements
Candidate should hold a first class or upper second class degree chemistry, environmental science, chemical, civil or environmental engineering. Some experience of the water or utilities sector is also desirable.
Funding
*Supported by EPSRC, Anglian Water, Yorkshire Water, Severn Trent Water and Scottish Water, this studentship will cover the tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only and provide a bursary of £19,000 p.a. for the first two years of registration rising to £20,000 p.a. on successful transfer to the third year of the programme. To be eligible for funding applicants must demonstrate a relevant connection with the UK, usually through being ordinarily resident for a period of 3 years immediately prior to the date of application for the award.
