When Johan Sølver started working at the Danish chemical factory Alumichem three years ago as part of an internship, he never imagined that—as a chemistry student at DTU—he would already be developing a completely new product.
"I'm actually making the drawings for the equipment I need in order to produce the new chemical solution that I came up with," Johan Sølver says proudly when talking about his work at the company, which specializes in purifying waste- and drinking water using aluminium products.
"I have a product that is a further development of the chemistry we already know in the water treatment market. But my way of producing it makes the process faster and less dangerous," says the 26-year-old about his work in Alumichem's development department, which he carries out alongside his studies in chemistry and biotechnology.
