Building long-term partnerships to provide peace of mind and keep operations going
When looking for new or refurbished water treatment installations and assets, the importance of quality, guarantee, and service cannot be overstated – particularly in the context of circular economy, sustainability, and the mindset of fixing rather than discarding. Investing in products that are built to last and of high quality not only ensures long-term satisfaction but also aligns with the principles of a circular economy. By choosing durable items, clients contribute to reducing waste and minimizing the extraction of natural resources, when internal or external factors are limiting industrial manufacturing (permits, effluent quality, discharge limits, legislation, high cost, local water scarcity, safety).
Moreover, opting for products that come with a guarantee or warranty provides an added layer of assurance, as it demonstrates the manufacturer’s commitment to standing behind their creation. This commitment to quality and durability also promotes sustainability by discouraging a throwaway culture and encouraging repairs, prolonging the lifespan of the product. Coupled with exceptional service, which includes reliable customer support, operations, repair services, and spare parts availability, clients can fully embrace the ethos of the circular economy, actively participating in the shift towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious society.
We call it Customer for Life. Nijhuis Saur Industries’ journey towards building a strong and lasting relationship with its customers began with a simple philosophy: to deliver products and services that exceeded expectations. In NSI, we firmly believe that trust is the cornerstone of any successful business relationship. From the very beginning, we set out to establish ourselves as a reliable and trustworthy partner. Our commitment to quality is unwavering, as we meticulously craft each product, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of performance and durability.
Get a true wastewater treatment operator on board for your operations
For example, customers from Poland and Serbia, amongst many others, approached us to discuss the plant modernization after 20 years of operation. Nijhuis Saur Industries’ commitment to safety is exemplified by the implementation of online monitoring systems. These systems provide real-time data and enable proactive measures to ensure the safety and smooth operation of their products. Customers can rest assured that their operations are continuously monitored, minimizing risks, and enhancing overall safety standards.
Minimizing downtime
We understand the importance of spare parts availability for our customers to ensure process safety.
By maintaining an extensive inventory of spare parts, Nijhuis Saur Industries ensures prompt and efficient replacements, minimizing downtime and optimizing productivity. This commitment to spare parts availability demonstrates our understanding of the critical role our installations play in clients’ operations.
In dire need of a water treatment installation?
In situations where emergencies or unforeseen circumstances arise, Nijhuis Saur Industries goes the extra mile by offering mobile water solutions. This proactive approach allows customers to quickly overcome challenges and continue their operations seamlessly. Mobile and rental solutions are also smart alternatives for seasonal manufacturing increases.
In the spotlight – Mobile Water Solutions
Byosis Mobile Water Solutions for pilot applications
To anticipate upcoming ammonia challenges and understand the power of stripping processes, 2 ByoFlex-5 DEMO units are now available. Both installations are available for clients who wish to witness the operation and efficiency of our ammonia recovery solution in real life conditions. Both systems can handle a throughput of 5 M3 /h continuously. These systema are ideal to test resource recovery as part of wastewater or digestate treatment to prevent e.g. Nitrous Oxide emissions, reduce the size of biological treatment, to replace an anammox system or to reduce ammonia toxicity in a digester. The system is a true mobile solution and easy to assemble on site. Remote monitoring and analysis can be provided by Byosis.
Multiple successes with the IPF Series (DAF) for Mobile Water Solutions
Mobile Water Solutions is pleased to announce successive wins with the IPF flotation Series in various industries. The reliability of our DAF unit, high capacity (from 2 to 135 M3/h), minimal lead time (2 weeks), and financial flexibility (CAPEX or off-balance) are all contributing to the success of the IPF series.
Some of the recent projects include the commissioning of a containerized IPF 030 with the use of polymer for a mining company in Africa. The company, which extracts minerals, was experiencing a high level of free fats and oils and needed a solution to be able to discharge the effluent within their discharge limits.
At an airport in the Netherlands, the customer needed a solution to treat high TSS in their effluent. MWS provided a containerized IPF 030 with coagulant, acid, and polymer for at least a year. The effluent can now be discharged to the sewer in compliance with local regulations.
MWS has also provided a containerized IPF 090 to one of the biggest European producers of sugar from sugar beet. The customer was dealing with high solids in the anaerobic treatment. The supply of IPF 090 as pre-treatment allowed the anaerobic treatment to have much better efficiency. The asset will be on site for 6 months.
We expect more successes in the coming months with the full integration of solid Nijhuis Saur Industries solutions within Mobile Water Solutions and the current availability of our ready-to-go assets (IPF 005, 010, 030, 090,135).
Green chemicals
Nowadays, a lot of chemicals are used as a coagulant for drinking water and wastewater. These chemicals represent a significant element of operational costs in treating wastewater, frequently in the range of 10-30%, depending on the type of water being treated. Investigating solutions to replace existing chemicals with more environmentally friendly water treatment chemicals, and using smart solutions to reduce the consumption of chemicals can dramatically reduce costs and CO2 footprint.
Chemical-free and biodegradable chemical solutions for wastewater treatment coagulants and flocculants are providing new ways to make industrial plants safer and greener, lowering the environmental footprint at the same time. This allows you to meet the ever-changing and demanding sustainability requirements. In order to help our customers achieve this, Nijhuis Saur Industries provides for example BioFloc. This is an improved ecological, biodegradable cationic wastewater treatment coagulant, which leads to better and more sustainable treatment of wastewater. This product is derived from natural and sustainable resources: a tannine extract of the Black Acacia bark.
BioFloc improves the water quality after pre-treatment due to the prevention of salt and heavy metal contamination in treated water and sludge, in comparison to traditional chemicals.
In addition, it can reduce discharge costs due to the improved water and sludge quality. It is easy to integrate into existing wastewater treatment plants as a replacement for traditional chemicals.
How is the biodegradable wastewater coagulant produced?
The Black Acacia grows on plantations in Brazil and has achieved the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) quality mark. This quality mark guarantees the wood is produced in an ecological and socially responsible way, whilst also being an economically viable solution for sustainable wastewater treatment chemical manufacturing.
In addition, as part of the FSC policy, the entire tree is used. The wood from the tree is used for paper manufacturing in Japan, the leaves for making biodiesel and a new tree is planted for each tree harvested.
One stop shop and peace of mind
The cooperation between all of the companies within NSI and our customers leads to many benefits, our one-stop-shop and peace of mind.
From the assurance of in-house manufacturing and online monitoring for safety to value-added services, to a responsive service team, spare parts availability, audits, and rental solutions during emergencies, our customers enjoy enhanced operational efficiency, minimized risks, and the peace of mind that comes with partnering with a reliable and customer-centric partner like Nijhuis Saur Industries.
