AQANA developed the Downflow Anaerobic Carrier System DACS®, a high-rate anaerobic system capable of handling the most challenging effluents. With the DACS® system, a relatively large amount of biomass is held inside of the carriers within the anaerobic reactor– resulting in the effective conversion of the organic material in the wastewater into biogas. DACS® eliminates the expensive necessity of granular sludge and by that manages to provide a reliable anaerobic system that guarantees continuous operation regardless of changes in flow and organic load. Thanks to this innovation the retention of the biomass is no longer limited by the flow velocity inside the reactor!

About me

Driven water and wastewater professional with broad international experience. Started my career as site supervisor & commissioning engineer, a hands-on-the-job position, spending my time mostly in Bulgaria and Rumania.

Afterwards I moved to Belgium and worked as proposals engineer, designing and pricing industrial wastewater treatment plants for the LATAM market with a strong focus in anaerobic treatment. Still in Belgium, I got promoted to Sales Director LATAM.

In 2021 I decided to move towards the municipal market, spending 1 year as Commercial Development Manager in the Scandinavian and Benelux markets.

Currently I'm the Sales Director of Aqana, a Dutch company focused in industrial water & wastewater treatment.
