Job description
For the R&D Biogas engineering department we are looking for interns! The following internships / graduation assignments are available. Apply using the apply button and select the (graduation) internship you are interested in.
Testing of Ammonium stripper system
HoSt has always been on the technological frontier of converting organic waste into bioenergy. Not only do we sell these systems, we also exploit them ourselves. In this way, we can continuously innovate. In our manure digester in Marrum, The Netherlands, we are constructing a new nitrogen stripper system. This stripper system will constantly remove ammonia from our digester system which allows us to feed more nitrogen rich feedstocks. Not only is this a next step in processes manure, it lowers the nitrogen emissions and produces bio-fertilizers. In this internship, you will help to test the new system and help understanding the system and improve upon the system.
Your tasks:
- Understand the process of ammonium stripping;
- Coorporate with the operators to optimally operate the ammonium stripper system;
- Critically assess the designed stripper system, (e.g. heat integration);
- Present your improvement strategy to HoSt.

Simulation of Carbon Capture under Dynamic Conditions
Bright Renewables has a brand-new system which can capture CO2 from point sources. These point sources can be flue gasses from Combined Heat and Power installations, but also other processes. This system is enterely simulated in Aspen Hysys to understand the behaviour of the system. During this internship, we go one step further. How does our system cope with dynamic loads. For instance, a fluctuation in CO2 concentration, in temperature (outside and inside), etc..
Your tasks:
- Background information about dynamic process and control;
- Aspen Hysys simulation set-up;
- Simulate and understand the effect of dynamic external effects;
- Give a clear advice for Bright Renewables how to deal with these effects.
