WE ARE SKYTREESkytree is engineering the CO₂ transition by building machines to capture CO₂ from the air and repurpose it for good: whether it’s reused across different industries or stored permanently.Our DAC technology transforms atmospheric CO₂ into a valuable resource: powering applications like renewable fuels and chemicals, greenhouse operations, beverage carbonation and water treatment.Our modular DAC machines and unique DAC Park architecture allow us to deploy in any climate, at scale - empowering more industries to switch to a circular CO₂ source and contribute to a cleaner planet.With more than 10 years of applied research starting at the European Space agency, we have the engineering excellence and the patented technology to enable the shift towards decarbonization. Our machines are already hard at work, capturing over 10M tonnes of CO₂ by 2030. <img style="width:260px;" src="https://lh7-qw.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeYHqOoIykzr6sV9rPHH45ukzLgBwhhpT3QlnCZO-xVTu2Acn5adsSp9WsexyyVFQkANxh0L8poMxUk9WK6vL1rwBkx-huTcOLrrc5yx2IE5H5PliAWzM6f47P6XXX3preSYDQkjQ?key=hw6zXglgsZutd4zqhvUk8Q">Take a moment to read more about our values and life at Skytree on our <a href="https://skytree.tech/en-en/careers">Careers Page.</a>THE PROJECTSkytree builds modular and scalable technology for Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO2 to combat climate change. As part of that technology, we design, develop, and build filters for CO2 capture using a sorbent material. Depending on the conditions of incoming air, the conformation of the filter, and the operating time, the DAC performance may decrease over time. However, our machines need to operate for extensive periods of time in the field without our filter material losing its performance. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the influence of different factors (temperature, pressure, etc.) on the sorbent lifetime. To do so, we have built a custom setup for accelerated lifetime testing, as well as a setup for performance testing of our DAC sorbents. Based on use of these setups, we have identified areas for improvement in performance, accuracy, and user-friendliness of these systems. We have designed the next generation of the set-up for lifetime analysis. In this internship project, the goal is to work together with the Testing and Infrastructure Engineers team on assembling the set-up, developing control software, designing and performing test routines and getting the set-up ready to be handed over to the RnD team.  YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT BY<ul><li>Building novel experimental equipment: assembling the gas supply, vacuum system and electrical components, designing, running and documenting the testing procedures. </li><li>Creating user-friendly control software: the setup will be controlled by a custom-built software (built in DAQFactory SCADA suite).
