CRecTech is a Deep Tech spin-off from NUS. CRecTech has developed a novel catalytic technology that simplifies the operational process and production cost of converting biogas into bio-methanol, making renewable methanol fuel more affordable for the maritime sector to accelerate their transition toward net zero CO2 emissions. 

Project Role: Scale up of Catalytic Bio-methanol Technology (Process Engineer)

Key Responsibilities

1. R&D Efforts at Manufacturing Pilot Facilities: 

- Converting biogas or similar gas compositions into methanol.
- Scaling up catalyst material production by analysing energy and material balances and evaluating the process performance. 
- Implementing design modifications and improvements.
- Documenting activities and data in detailed reports.
- Assisting with engineering process design, simulation, and optimisation of chemical process modeling.
- Developing enhanced processes for material handling, treatment, and storage.
- Conducting characterisation and analysis of catalysts and the methanol produced.

2. Compliance with Regulatory and Statutory Requirements:

- Ensuring all operations comply with workplace health and safety regulations.
- Collaborating with safety officers and operations teams to prepare and maintain up-to-date risk assessments, safe work procedures, and method statements.

3. Operations Management:

- Organising and overseeing the operations of the manufacturing pilot facility, ensuring maximum efficiency while minimising costs.

4. Routine Checks and Process Controls:

- Conducting regular checks and process controls, maintaining accurate records of all activities.
