Information

In 2012 I graduated Wetsus Academy, Leeuwarden (NL) with a Master program in Water technology. Later on I worked as a water technology researcher at HZ University, Vlissingen (NL). During this period, I was involved in a project for optimization of anaerobic digesters towards generation of more valuable final product such as Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) instead of methane.  

Starting 2017, I am a PhD student at the PaInT research group, focussing on the development of innovative technologies for treatment and reuse of condensate streams generated in the petrochemical industry. The aim of the project is to optimize the steam/condensate return ratio and to achieve higher on site water and energy efficiency for petrochemical production plants.
