About us
The Art of Reuse
When we founded Econvert, our ambition was to make anaerobic technology available to the widest possible group of users. This ambition still stands. Based on in-depth knowledge and our engineering and technological experience, we work on optimizing our products every day. This is with the aim that our customers can produce more sustainably, reduce their ecological impact and remain competitive.
Understanding our customers’ challenges is crucial. We speak the customer’s language and mutually seek the best solution. That goes beyond just supplying the right technology. We participate in managing the installations, financing them and maintaining the equipment. All with one single aim: to perfect the art of reuse.
Background
How it all started
Econvert was founded in 2012 with a clear purpose: to make sure everyone can benefit from the advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment. This idea is still the core of the company, but over time Econvert has developed into a leading contractor in biological wastewater treatment and biogas conditioning. Biological treatment aimed on lowering the ecological impact of our customers. As we think that local reuse is the future.
Over time Econvert has established a strong track record in anaerobic wastewater treatment and biogas desulphurization. We’ve served many customers in pulp & paper, food & beverage and chemical & pharma. Most often we serve the end-user directly, but we also cooperate with partners to optimize the solutions and project implementation. We strongly believe we can serve our customers best by being close and speaking their language.

Revitalizing our world by embracing the value of water
Too often, mankind has treated clean water as an inexhaustible, cheap resource, neglecting its vital worth. With today’s rising pressure on the quantity and quality of water, this precious resource is in dire need of revaluing – environmentally, socially, economically, technologically. It’s time to turn the tide. To ensure that water is valued as the revitalizing force it has always been, and to make this value equally accessible to all living beings.
We call it Mission Water.
