Your challenges

Biomass growth
Growth of anaerobic biomass within an anaerobic installation can make your reactor even more profitable (on top of the generated biogas). When there is no biomass growth in your installation, or even loss of biomass, our Services team can perform an audit or consultancy to determine the cause and advise you on the optimization of your installation.
Outdated and worn-out installations
After many years of running an anaerobic wastewater treatment or biogas desulfurization plant, installations face the usual wear and tear: parts wear out or can even break. The installation may not be running as smoothly and sufficiently as in the beginning. The Econvert Services team can assist in many ways. A thorough inspection and/or audit of the installation results in a detailed advise with improvement points. We also offer maintenance, retrofits, upgrades to your installation and we can provide spare parts, to extend the trouble free running period.
Stricter discharge regulations
Discharge regulations of wastewater in the sewer system are becoming stricter, and the discharge fees for discharging wastewater are continuously increasing. Your current anaerobic wastewater treatment plant may not reach these stricter regulations. We can offer consultancy to advise you on how to operate your installation based on the current composition and load of the wastewater. Additionally, with maintenance or a retrofit we can ensure your installation meets the demands of the continuously changing requirements.
Loss of knowledge
When staff is leaving your facility, knowledge on how to operate the wastewater treatment plant optimally may leave with them. The Econvert Services team provides consultancy or trainings to train your staff on how to optimally operate your anaerobic wastewater treatment or biogas desulfurization plant.

Our wastewater treatment and biogas services
We believe that not only the delivery of a product like an anaerobic reactor or biogas desulfurization plant will lead to the wanted savings on operational costs, but optimization of the full treatment plant is key. At Econvert we have a Services team which is dedicated to optimizing the performance of your plant. 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.
Econvert has a team of anaerobic and biogas experts which perform expert services to help controlling the wastewater treatment plant and optimize its performances by checking all important aspects for a properly and efficient operating plant. This can be carried out with audits, consultancy, analyses and more.
- Consultancy: During a consultancy the Econvert Services team monitors and checks all important aspects for a properly and efficient operating plant. The consultancy can include a site visit and remote assistance, together we conclude a service level agreement which suits your needs and varies from daily to quarterly monitoring.
- Audit: A complete check of the entire system. Is everything up to date? Is the installation technically in proper condition? How is the installation technologically performing? We advise you on this after an audit has been carried out.
- Inspection: In order to make optimal use of your installation, it is crucial to periodically inspect the installation. During the inspection we perform a check of the entire installation and condition of all mechanical and electrical components. Resulting in a detailed report after every inspection. We can offer yearly external inspections and advice, and an internal inspection after 5 years.
- Troubleshooting: In the event of a calamity or disturbance, you need immediate help. We can take a look at the data and come on site to go through the entire installation with you. The troubleshooting can include the need of analysis of the wastewater and/or biomass.
- Analysis: Econvert offers various analyzes for customers who have a decline in reactor performance or customer who want to test the degradability of their wastewater. Analyzes that we offer are: Anaerobic sludge activity analysis, toxicity analysis, GC-MC analysis and anaerobic degradability analysis.
- Pilots: Econvert’s anaerobic wastewater pilot unit is specially designed to test whether an anaerobic wastewater treatment plant is suitable to treat wastewater coming from the production process(es). This part of the raw wastewater contains organic compounds that can be tested on its biodegradability. Additionally, the pilot reactor can be used to teach the customer about the operation of an anaerobic wastewater treatment plant and the required analyzes.
Your wastewater treatment plant also requires regular maintenance to ensure its optimal functionality. Our goal is to keep your equipment performance at a high level and avoid unexpected costs and downtime.
- Spare parts supply: To avoid a breakdown and stop of the installation, it is important to stock crucial parts of your installation and perform preventive maintenance. We will be happy to make a customized offer for you.
- Maintenance: We carry out minor or major maintenances for you on an occasional or periodic basis.
We execute various service project such as installing components, upgrading your installations.
- Upgrades: We can upgrade components of the wastewater treatment plant or biogas system.
- Retrofit: With a retrofit, we modernize your existing wastewater treatment plant. With a limited investment, we ensure that your current installation once again meets the requirements, performs optimal and is future-proof. We can carry out the retrofit regardless of who has supplied the current installation.
- Repair: Installations which have been running for a longer period undergo regular wear and tear. We can repair any age-related damage to your wastewater treatment plant or biogas system.
We can supply consumables for both anaerobic reactors and desulfurization plants which varies from different nutrient mixtures, start-up chemicals to anaerobic biomass.
- Biomass: We can provide you with good quality biomass for the anaerobic reactor or desulfurization plant. When the reactor is running properly, the biomass grows over time. If this is not the case, we can help you finding the cause by providing a technical check of the installation resulting in recommendations for improvement.
- Nutrient mix: We can supply consumables to keep the anaerobic and sulfide oxidating bacteria in perfect condition and achieve a good and stable operation of the installation. By adding the right nutrient mix, the biomass is fed with the required macro- and micronutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphate and trace elements).
- Start-up chemicals: We can deliver chemicals for the start-up or restart of your installation to create optimal conditions before the biomass is introduced.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do you work on installations from other suppliers?
Yes, at Econvert it is our mission to make the benefits of anaerobic wastewater treatment available to everyone. When your installation is from another supplier we first conduct an audit to establish how we can help and as a result of the audit we decide on the next steps.
How do I know whether my effluent can be treated anaerobically?
We offer an anaerobic degradability analysis, which determines whether certain wastewater streams can be anaerobically degraded and analyzes the quantity of COD and percentage of COD that is anaerobically degradable. The organic compounds present in the wastewater can be tested on its biodegradability. At Econvert we offer a pilot unit which is specifically designed to test whether an anaerobic effluent treatment plant is suitable to treat wastewater coming from a production process. Additionally, the pilot reactor can be used to teach the customer about the operation of an anaerobic wastewater treatment plant and the required analyzes.
With an internal inspection, do you only perform the inspection or can you also clean and remove the biomass?
With an inspection we can provide a complete package from removing and storing the biomass from the reactor, to cleaning the reactor internally before we execute the inspection.
Do you also offer/sell nutrients?
We can supply consumables for both anaerobic reactors and desulphurization plants which varies from different nutrient mixtures, start-up chemicals to anaerobic biomass.
What is the benefit of conducting an analysis via Econvert?
On top of conducting the analysis, we offer a detailed report. This report not only contains the results, but also an expert interpretation by a specialist in anaerobic wastewater treatment. The interpretation combines the analytical data with the datasheet and, where relevant, audit findings, in order to provide installation-specific advice.
