Student assistant for biotechnological model development
The marine heterotrophic microorganisms Thraustochytrids show a great potential for sustainable production of omega-3 oils. In order to evaluate the potential of such a production, the marine biotechnology company BioPol ehf. is looking to employ a student assistant to work on the development of a model for process simulation and economic analysis. The work will include process design, calculation of mass- and energy balances as well as estimation of capital- and operating costs.
