Founding Liquisens
After years of experience in water analysis in the food and environmental sectors and at Water-link, Steven de Schrijver founded Liquisens with Erik Dehaen. They discovered that there was a great need among customers for an end-to-end solution for monitoring, analyzing and improving their water quality. They developed applications that use smart sensors and algorithms. That way, Liquisens can also work preventively. Thanks to the huge evolution of IoT and neural networks, this can be done in a cost-effective way.
Successful projects in various sectors
Liquisens’ approach proved a great success: numerous projects in various sectors soon followed. Steven’s extensive practical experience comes in handy. He started his career in the family business in the food and environmental sector, where very high standards of water quality apply. Accurate measurements and analyses are crucial there, and deviations in water quality have a major impact. Steven has more than 20 years of experience and knows the practice inside out. He understands better than anyone the water problems companies can face.
Professional team with extensive knowledge and expertise
He took that knowledge with him to Liquisens, where he joined forces with Erik Dehaen. Erik earned his stripes mainly in the field of data integration and analysis. Together, they form the golden basis of a professional team that has continued to expand to its current composition. Each has his own expertise, which means that customized solutions can now be developed for each customer.
Growth and future
Liquisens’ growth resulted in a logical next step. In December 2023, a new board and management team were established to guide Liquisens to the next phase: the shift to scalable solutions based on a solid organizational structure.
Also in the future, Liquisens continues to innovate and we are always looking for new cutting-edge technologies to serve customers in the best possible way.
Liquisens wants to help companies and organizations manage their water systems more effectively and efficiently by monitoring water quality. We do this through innovative technology such as smart sensors and artificial intelligence models.
In this way, Liquisens aims to help its customers save and improve their water quality, as well as make a positive impact on our planet.
Working with Liquisens and Steven De Schrijver, in our start-up collaboration has been like working with an extension of P&G! They have seamlessly integrated into our delivery team over the last year as we look to progress our collaboration together. They are very responsive, have a can-do attitude, and are able to navigate challenges to pivot in an agile way when needed. If all collaborations with start-ups were like this, we would be doing a lot more business with the start-up community as P&G opens its doors to open innovation.
A pleasant collaboration with an innovative company seeking solutions to tomorrow's water challenges.
Liquisens had the opportunity to monitor an industrial cooling tower at a Shell C&T based on artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize legionella prevention. The cooling tower was equipped with several sensors for continuous online monitoring and proved the legionella risk was under control. Based on the collected process data and periodic water analyses, motivated advice was formulated to optimize the biocide consumption and flushing processes.
Quality usable water is very scarce. That is why Liquisens is always looking for the ideal balance between risk management and sustainability. Our services and projects not only increase water quality for the user but also have a positive impact on the environment.
For example, our smart legionella prevention helps companies deal with legionella effectively while using fewer chemicals and/or avoiding unnecessary flushing. A win-win for customers and the environment.
