Internship
We invite students to apply for this very interesting internship. Please note that we do not provide housing as part of the internship. We operate mostly in The Netherlands. So, communication for projects will be mainly in Dutch. All of our staff however are fluent in English.
Who are we?
HMVT is an environmental contractor specializing in complex and innovative projects. We have a hands-on culture and strive to quickly apply (new) technologies in practice. We specialize in a wide range of techniques for in-situ remediation of soil, water- and air treatment.
Our network consists of industrial partners for whom we carry out many projects, mainly in the Benelux-region, but also in other countries of Europe.
The challenge
We are continuously improving the sustainability of our technologies. That is why we have been investing the last 8 years in nature-based remediations. An example is the further development of constructed wetland technology. Since 2016 we design and operate constructed wetlands for the treatment of contaminated water.
Constructed wetland systems mimic natural wetland systems, where physical (e.g. flocculation), chemical (e.g. adsorption), and biological processes (e.g. microbial degradation, plant uptake) occur to break down complex molecules.
These wetlands have proven useful for the breakdown of many chemical contaminants, due to the many different reaction mechanisms that occur within the soil matrix.
