How do they match: Biofuels/Biodiesel Technology and Product Development Managers

  • Define, plan, or execute biofuels/biodiesel research programs that evaluate alternative feedstock and process technologies with near-term commercial potential.

  • Analyze data from biofuels studies, such as fluid dynamics, water treatments, or solvent extraction and recovery processes.
  • Conduct experiments to test new or alternate feedstock fermentation processes.
  • Design chemical conversion processes, such as etherification, esterification, interesterification, transesterification, distillation, hydrogenation, oxidation or reduction of fats and oils, and vegetable oil refining.
  • Develop lab scale models of industrial scale processes, such as fermentation.
  • Develop separation processes to recover biofuels.
  • Perform protein functional analysis and engineering for processing of feedstock and creation of biofuels.
  • Propose new biofuels products, processes, technologies or applications based on findings from applied biofuels or biomass research projects.

  • Develop specifications for new products or processes.
  • Develop technical processes to improve the efficiency of biofuel production.
  • Model operational processes.
  • Supervise workers performing environmentally sustainable activities.
  • Test green technologies or processes.
