Nijhuis and Thecogas Join Forces

“We already had an excellent package of water-related services,” explains director Frank Tillmann of Nijhuis Water Technology. “Thanks to the knowledge and experience of Thecogas Biogastechniek, we can now provide an even more complete service, with the accent very much on sustainability. This is because it is no longer necessary to discharge untreated or treated flows of waste solids or wastewater. There are all kinds of ways of purifying the water and of extracting valuable components that you can then recycle, such as ingredients for animal fodder, fuel and fertilizers. That’s good for the environment and for the bank balance.”

As from 1st May this year, specialists Thecogas Biogastechniek has become a separate division of Nijhuis Water Technology. The Thecogas team will be based at the site in Dinxperlo. Frank Tillmann: “We are now in a position to build biogas installations with which we can provide smart customised solutions, both for the agricultural and industrial sectors. An example is the problem of the surplus of nutrients from manure in the Netherlands. We believe that with our experience of the industry we can extract valuable substances from manure, such as nitrogen and phosphate, which are highly suitable for recycling.”

Following the merger, every new biogas project involving Thecogas Biogastechniek from 1st May this year will be launched and implemented under the Nijhuis Water Technology name.
