Econse manufactures decentralized treatment solutions.
OUR STORY
Econse began with a vision to help solve the many water related crises facing the modern world. Several core areas were identified as our initial focus.
This includes businesses and communities under serviced by traditional treatment options.
The reshoring and return to local manufacturing adds many challenges
to balancing economic growth with modern environmental responsibilities,
and Econse sees this as an opportunity to bring industry and innovation together with our sustainable solutions.
The first few years were devoted to tackling some of the worlds toughest water problems to validate our approach.
(*see case studies)
Research and Development projects were conducted across Canada and the USA to test the limits of our technology and better understand the challenges that our customers face.
As of 2021, we have installed dozens of commercial systems across Canada, and developed our toolbox to include solutions that are smarter, faster, smaller, expandable, with remote monitoring and tech support.
There are no shortages of problems when it comes to treating water!
Our team combines our unique perspective and work experience to bring something new to the water and wastewater industry, and we enjoy developing solutions that ensure clean water for everyone.
