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 contribute to the detailed engineering and design of a combined pre-treatment skid—including cooling and filtration units—for Bright’s biogas upgrader systems. These systems are compact and containerized, designed to deliver high-efficiency gas separation in limited space. The focus of your work will be on developing an integrated pre-treatment module that ensures optimal gas quality before membrane separation, while minimizing footprint, costs, and energy use. Using SolidWorks, you will design and refine layout concepts, select appropriate components, and develop innovative space-saving solutions to support the next generation of high-performance, compact biogas upgrading units.
