DINXPERLO, The Netherlands, June 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

The recent strategic merger of Nijhuis Water with Thecogas Biogastechniek has expanded the services of the Netherlands -based water specialist company, adding conversion of manure and organic waste streams into biogas and energy to a comprehensive range of purifying and recycling services for treating industrial wastewater. From 1st May 201, Thecogas Biogastechniek became a separate division of Nijhuis Water Technology, with the Thecogas team based at the site in the Netherlands.

"We already have an excellent package of water-related services," explained 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 water and of extracting valuable components that can then be recycled, such as ingredients for animal fodder, fuel and fertilizers. That's good for the environment and for the bank balance."

Customised installations for biogas and energy creation

Tillmann added: "We are now in a position to build biogas installations, providing smart customised solutions for both the agricultural and industrial sectors, for example, the problem of a 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 will be launched and implemented under the Nijhuis Water Technology name.

New house style

This latest acquisition has been incorporated into the Nijhuis Water Technology website and brochures, which have recently been given a complete overhaul along with a new corporate slogan 'Vision on Sustainability'.
