IFPEN proposes a PdD position concerning the characterization and origin of gases associated with the hydrothermal fluids of the Afar triangle (Djibouti region) with a particular focus on gases that will be of particular interest for the energy t
Les méthodes d'apprentissage basées sur les architectures neuronales permettent de résoudre des problèmes de classification et de segmentation avec des performances pour l'instant non égalées dans le domaine du traitement d'images et de la vision par ordinateur.
IFPEN and the Utrecht University call for qualified candidates for a PhD project, entitled: “Fluid-Flow and Fluid-Rock Interactions during the Dinarides collisional orogenesis: Implications on geo-resources and sustainable development.” This project is based on the previously acquired field-knowledge and numerical models, which will be the start
La thèse vise à développer un jumeau numérique d’un séparateur liquide-inclusions (polluants) par flottation dans l’objectif d’optimiser les procédés de flottation industriels pour répondre aux enjeux liés au traitement des eaux, qui apparaît comme un besoin primordial dans un contexte de changement climatique.
Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR) combined with chemometrics has been used for years in various fields to predict properties, quantify species, classify samples, etc. At IFPEN, this approach is daily used in the laboratory and on-line on pilot plant units to predict properties of interest of petroleum cuts.
In CCS (CO2 capture and storage) CO2 storage in depleted petroleum reservoirs is envisaged. Hydrates CO2 crystals formation may lead to important injectivity losses and even to a complete plugging of the injector well and hydrates risk is identified as crucial for the CO2 storage operation. the objectives of the PhD work aims at :
IFPEN is a leading actor in the development of hydrocracking processes ranging from the hydro-treatment of petroleum products to the production of biofuels. In order to properly scale-up the catalytic sections of these processes robust and evaluated simulation tools are needed and developed by IFPEN.
The decarbonization of the electricity mix is based on the development of intermittent renewable energies and the decentralization of the power generation means.
The electric transmission system is a key element of future mobility. It is desirable to reduce the footprint, increase the efficiency and power density of the entire electric traction system.
The recycling of plastics is a major issue in the energy transition. These materials are widely used in many fields: packaging, automotive, household appliances, construction, agriculture, thus generating a significant amount of waste. Today, recycling is mainly done through mechanical recycling processes.
Adipic acid is considered as the most important dicarboxylic acid of global market and it has been included among the 50 most used chemicals in the US. Its main application concerns the synthesis of polyamides-6,6, also called “Nylon”, which demand about 50% of the global production of adipic acid.
