Haskoning Internship

  • Last modified: 05-02-2026

Haskoning is involved in the development of an innovative technology (ViviMag®) to extract phosphorus in the form of vivianite from sewage sludge at wastewater treatment plants where chemical P-removal with iron is implemented. With this technology it is possible to obtain a P-recovery of 60% and via this route we talk about P-recycling instead of P-reuse. For marketing reasons it is important to do a fact-finding study on the real value of chemically bound phosphorus when using sludge on land. The following research questions can be formulated:

  • What is the availability of ferric and ferrous phosphate for crop growth when using sewage sludge on land?
  • What is the real meaning of phosphorus leachate experiments as indication for the fertilizing value of phosphorus in real practice?
  • What are the real unique selling points of using sewage sludge on land; phosphorus, nitrogen, organic matter, micronutrients, …?
  •  

You will become a member of the R&D-team at Haskoning.

MSc Thesis opportunity with Waternet

When our drinking water supply network becomes too old, risks of leakages increase and therewith the necessity
to replace piped infrastructure. When piped infrastructure is replaced too early, unnecessary pipe replacements
increase the municipality’s costs which gives rise to the drinking water tariff. Join a team of 25 colleagues who manage and
analyse the different assets of our drinking and wastewater infrastructure.
