Thesis Work for development of analytical method for quantitative measurement of moisture in paper and pressboard using Karl Fischer oven i Ludvika

Om tjänsten

You will be a part of Power Transformer Service, a unit within Power Transformers in Ludvika. Transformer Service perform advanced services to industries and utilities around the world. Our offers help customers to optimize their transformer fleet by mitigating risks for malfunction, improve performance and ensure expected life. Most offers are customized and based on a recommendation from the diagnostic team. We are world leading in transformer diagnostics and the team perform both chemical and physical tests and theoretical investigations. We manage development projects aimed at creating improved diagnostic methods, as well as increased insight into how various operation conditions affect the operation of the transformers.

Working on the thesis you will get insight in the analytical methods presently used at the diagnostics laboratory for measuring moisture in solid transformer insulation materials, paper and pressboard, as well as in liquid transformer insulation, transformer oil. You will do a literature study to plan your following experimental work and then work practically in the lab developing the analytical method. As the result you are expected to formulate the settings for an analytical method using Karl Fischer oven technique for quantitative measurement of moisture in paper and pressboard.

You are going to do your thesis for the master’s degree in chemistry. Students who have interest in power transformers are especially welcome.

• Period: starting during 2019.
• Number of credits: 30 ECTS/hp.
• One student.
• Major part of the thesis must be performed on site
