This is my personal website, and on this website, I occasionally share news about Chemical Engineering, and present my personal opinion about certain topics. I also aim to provide some detailed information and features about Separation Technology, and links to important Chemical Engineering related organizations.
In 2025, the third edition of Industrial Separation Processes was published!
DISCLAIMER: I am working at the University of Twente in the Sustainable Process Technology group, and have a part time secondment at the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology. In addition I am Scientific Vice-President of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers. What is published on this website though, reflects my personal view on things.
Separations intrinsically require energy, it is our mission to find the most efficient separations for a range of (bio)refinery, fine chemicals and pharma applications. On the Page about insights, you will find some insights on process concepts.
