Tegels started his career as a chemical engineer at Ryko Manufacturing in the early days of reverse osmosis, and has been in technical/chemical sales with Betz/GE Water and Buckman in the ethanol process treatment and industrial water treatment areas for more than 20 years.
At H2O Innovation, Tegels will lead a team focused on increasing the company’s presence and capital and aftermarket sales in the biofuels industry.
