Econvert

We are a leading provider of anaerobic wastewater treatment solutions for a wide range of industries, with a strong focus on Pulp & Paper and Food & Beverage. Our anaerobic reactors are used by recycled paper, tissue, potato, brewery, beverage, sugar, starch, and protein producers.

Other key markets include the Chemical & Pharmaceutical and Waste-to-Energy industries. With extensive experience in treating wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical and biochemical processes, Econvert demonstrates the versatility of anaerobic technology in treating biodegradable organic substances.

Beyond these key industries, our anaerobic wastewater treatment solutions can also be applied to various other industrial processes, depending on wastewater characteristics and treatment requirements.

Anaerobic wastewater treatment is a very effective and sustainable way of removing biodegradable organic compounds (COD/BOD) from wastewater without using oxygen. Anaerobic treatment uses very little nutrients, requires a small footprint and produces energy instead of consuming energy. By removing COD, anaerobic wastewater treatment allows wastewater discharge or re-use and helps close the water loop in factories. Anaerobic wastewater treatment produces biogas, which is captured and can be used as a renewable energy source. From biogas you can generate electricity, heat, or fuel. It can also be upgraded to natural gas quality biomethane which can be injected directly into the natural gas grid. Anaerobic wastewater treatment reduces the carbon footprint by capturing methane and converting it into energy.

In order to use biogas as a clean and reliable energy source, it needs to be the right quality, pressure and humidity. Biogas desulphurization is the process of removing corrosive hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and other sulphur compounds from raw biogas.

Anaerobic treatment is suitable for wastewater containing biodegradable organic matter, typically measured as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). During the anaerobic treatment process, microorganisms break down biodegradable organic components, converting them into biogas while producing a small amount of biomass. With over 200 references worldwide, Econvert has extensive experience treating various types of industrial wastewater. However, every production facility is unique, with different raw materials, production processes, operating conditions, and wastewater characteristics. If you are unsure whether anaerobic treatment is suitable for your wastewater, Econvert offers anaerobic pilot testing to assess its biodegradability.

Econvert delivers anaerobic wastewater treatment and biogas solutions internationally: supporting clients across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa and other regions. If you want to know whether we can deliver/install a solution in your country, please contact us.
