Wastewater Expert

Even before I could walk, my parents took me out sailing. From a very young age, I was surrounded by the sea and the elements, which is were I developed a great passion for water, our environment and the living world. Bio-engineering & environmental technologies are my habitat. My curiosity and adventurous spirit have le me around the world. I had the opportunity to live and work in Latin-America on and off for about 10 years. I gained experience through dozens of fascinating projects, from small rural municipal wastewater treatment systems in Paraguay to state-of-the-art industrial wastewater & biogas projects in France, Australia and Colombia. From conceptual design over basic and detailed engineering to commissioning and start-up: as a process engineer, I love to see my design come to life. Working on various digitalization and advanced automation projects, I also acquired the skills to solve environmental challenges with the tools of industry 4.0.

Water Expert

My entire life I have been drawn to technology and to the outdoors. Combining these two interests I decided to study Industrial Biochemical Engineering and it didn’t take long before I started my career working as an R&D engineer in the water sector. With an entire R&D facility at my disposal, I became familiar with a multitude of water and wastewater technologies. Building on this foundation, I worked for five years as a process, commissioning and start-up engineer. In this function I was able to design complex treatment systems and traveled internationally to start these plants and ensure their smooth operations. It is on these missions that I have developed a unique skillset in commissioning, automating and optimizing complex treatment plants. My latest area of focus has been on water recovery projects; helping clients to reduce and optimize their water footprint. By doing this I have become an expert in membrane technologies and advanced reverse osmosis systems. As the co-founder of Nuoro, I am looking forward to assisting all of our new clients with their water and environmental needs.

I’m exceptionally familiar with various international standard forms of contracts and I am proficient in contract drafting, negotiation and management. I have a strong passion for sustainability and ethical business practices. Nuoro gives me the opportunity to use my knowledge and expertise to make a positive impact that matters for the environment and society.

Kris Gorissen

Water Expert

From childhood, I was intrigued by clean, flowing water. This developed a broad scientific interest and a well-considered choice to study Bio-Engineering & Environmental Sciences. All this with one personal goal: How can we make the world a better, more sustainable place?

After a professional career with almost 20 years of experience in various process, technology & sales roles in the environmental and water treatment sector, I can be considered as a true water expert. My expertise ranges from biological wastewater treatment over process & potable water filtration to water reuse. All this topped with a sauce of biogas, nutrient recovery and heat valorisation.

Together with five experienced water allies and with a backpack full of motivation, I have founded the new company Nuoro from 2022. Working on multidisciplinary projects in a technology-driven way for the past two decades, I evolved into a strong conceptual thinker with a real instinct for the right process-technical solution in relation to each specific business case. Together with my partners at Nuoro, I am fully ready to take on any water challenge. After all, Nuoro – despite being the new kid on the block – offers a fresh approach based on tons of water experience!

Thomas Aertsen

Water Expert

I began my career in the water and environmental sector years ago, almost by accident and never left. Being able to work every day with the most precious resource on Earth – ‘water’ – never gets boring. Over time I have developed a unique skillset that combines in-depth expertise in various water treatment technologies with thorough knowledge of mechanical implementation and worldwide project realization. Transforming a rough idea into a full-blown installation, by implementing best practices and striving for the highest quality, is what I do best. I am one of the proud co-founders of Nuoro, a company that acts as a catalyst to help reduce the environmental footprint of our clients.

Koen Vliegen

Energy Expert

Project management is my area of expertise. Having spent over 15 years managing a wide range of projects in an international environment: cogeneration, waste to energy, bio-energy, (waste) water treatment, etc. For the last five years, I have been able to dedicate myself to my team of project managers while I was operating as the acting VP Projects in a large environmental technologies organization. Since the start of 2022, I am the proud co-founder of Nuoro along with a strong team of five motivated partners.
