Scientific insights with a practice-oriented approach.
My approach
Structured research and staying curious
I first came into contact with the power of this approach during my PhD research for drinking water company Oasen into the inhibition of nitrification by iron removal.
At the start of this study, there was an almost unanimous view in the scientific community and drinking water sector that iron removal under oxygen-saturated...
Modular Treatment Concept (MZC)
Uncertain times call for a resilient and flexible solutions. Due to the significant uncertainties and rapid changes in the water landscape – such as unpredictable demand trends, climate change, etc.
Extensive knowledge of slow processes in groundwater purification
During nearly three decades of working as a process engineer and researcher at various drinking water companies, consultancies, and Delft University of Technology, I have gained a profound understanding....
Biological purification as a building block of the climate transition
Compared to physical/chemical water purification, biological processes distinguish themselves not only in their efficiency and circularity, but also in their favorable climate impact. Due to...
Practically tested fundamental knowledge as an anchor for innovation
This year, TU Delft will launch a follow-up study on biological groundwater purification, building on the "Redox Filter" project. This research focuses on the interaction....
