Our story
Founded in 2012, Econvert started with a clear purpose: to make the benefits of anaerobic wastewater treatment available to everyone. This goal still drives us today.
We’re driven by a customer-for-life mindset and provide full project support – from design and installation to after-sales services. Our contribution to #MissionWater is to make anaerobic technology available to the widest possible group of users and to help companies meet sustainability goals by lowering their ecological impact. In this way we give water the value it deserves.
Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted partner for biological wastewater treatment and biogas desulfurization. Our solutions focus on helping industries reuse water locally and lower their environmental impact – because we believe reuse is the future.
We have built a solid track record in key industries like Pulp & Paper, Food & Beverage, Chemical & Pharmaceutical and Waste-to-Energy. Whether we work directly with end-users or alongside project partners, we strongly believe we can serve our customers best by being close and speaking their language.
Our wastewater treatment solutions
We provide solutions for the sustainable purification of your wastewater and for the treatment of the produced biogas in order to realize its optimal value.
Anaerobic wastewater treatment
Anaerobic wastewater treatment is a very effective way of removing biodegradable organic compounds (COD/BOD) from wastewater without the use of oxygen. The degradation of the organic compounds results in the production of biogas, which can be used to generate heat and electricity.
Biogas treatment
Where organic material is anaerobically degraded, biogas will be produced. In order to utilize this biogas it is important that the biogas has the right quality, pressure and humidity. H2S is a specific component in the biogas that can require treatment. With the use of biogas desulphurization technologies H2S is oxidized to elemental sulfur by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Biogas treatment is a key step in making biogas a clean and reliable energy source.
We offer the following biogas treatment products:
- Biogas buffers: Biogas buffers for stabilizing pressure and flow
- Flares: Standard flares and high temperature flares to burn the biogas when it can’t be utilized
- Biogas blowers/compressors: increasing pressure by means of side channel or roots blowers
- Biogas cooling/drying: Biogas cooling/drying for lowering the dew point and avoiding issues with condensate.
At Econvert we offer various Anaerobic Wastewater treatment and Biogas services, to maximize the performance and reliability of your installation. We provide various types of services: expert services, maintenance & spare parts, service projects. Additionally we can supply consumables and biomass for both anaerobic wastewater treatment plants and biogas desulfurization installations. We value a customer-for-life approach, in which we assist you with optimizing your treatment processes in many ways.
