Internship: Biogas Upgrader High SC Membrane Systems
Bright delivers biogas upgrading systems, in these systems methane and carbon dioxide are separated using membrane technology. Thereby, the methane quality is enriched for injection in the natural gas grid (if required liquefaction is also possible). Furthermore, technology for the capture and liquefaction of CO₂ are also delivered. One of the next developments for Bright is the utilization of the captured CO₂ for production of renewable methanol.

In this internship, you will further develop high-selectivity-capacity (high SC) membrane systems for Bright’s next-generation biogas upgrader units. These advanced membranes enable highly efficient gas separation, and your role will focus on integrating them into compact, containerized solutions optimized for performance and scalability. Using SolidWorks, you will design and iterate system layouts, explore innovative configurations, and evaluate component integration, all with the goal of maximizing separation efficiency, space utilization, and energy performance in high SC membrane-based upgrading systems.

Your tasks
Understanding the current membrane based biogas upgrader;
Conceptualize all individual components;
Build several concepts in Solidworks;
Make a detailed pro & cons argumentation to find the optimal 3D-concept.
