About the role
Our client is developing a new industrial facility and is hiring a Chemical Engineer to lead chemical process modeling using Aspen Plus. The models you build will support the design, optimization, and scale-up of the facility, so your work will directly shape how it’s designed and how its processes develop.
You’ll build process models for chemical and/or metallurgical processes, including systems involving solids in vapor-solid and liquid-solid reaction environments. That calls for more than standard flowsheet work. You’ll develop custom physical property datasets and electrolyte models, which in Aspen Plus typically means working with property methods such as ELECNRTL, regressing property parameters against experimental or literature data, and using the solids modeling capabilities to represent particle handling and solid-phase reactions.
You’ll also connect Aspen Plus models with external tools such as Excel, commonly through VBA or the Aspen Plus automation interface, so results can feed into wider design and engineering work. Throughout, you’ll translate modeling outputs into clear insights that inform facility design and process development decisions.
