Thank you for visiting us at Munich IFAT trade fair

We thank you for your interest towards econ industries' services at Munich IFAT trade fair in Germany from 13th to 17th September 2010. The exhibition was a success for econ industries witnessing the release of our new services and applications.

40.000 tons mercury contaminated soils

In the course of 2011 econ industries will hand over a turn-key and semi-mobile VacuDry Thermal Desorption Unit for the on-site treatment to a client in France. The equipment will be supplied under supervision of certifying agencies to ensure safe operation with an average cleaning rate above 99.5% to less than 1 ppm final mercury content.

New delivery contracts

In the 2nd Quarter 2010 two contract agreements have been signed on VacuDry plant deliveries for Mercury and Oily Waste projects in Europe. An additional agreement was fixed for a project for the recycling and industrial reuse of inorganic WWT filtercake.

New name, constant high quality

"AVA econ industries" becomes "econ industries"
A growing demand in our market segment caused a continuous growth within our company which has made certain organizational changes unavoidable. Consequently we have found it necessary to update our corporate identity to ease the brand recognition for our international clients. A result of this modernization is the adoption of a company slogan, which accurately reflects our daily working objectives:

econ industries - Imagine zero industrial waste...!

Also, we have relocated our central office to Starnberg. With new premises there we are now based much closer to the centre of Munich and Munich airport. This will reduce travelling times for both our customers and the econ staff - our so-called "econeers". But Starnberg is not only a good place for working. The famous Starnberger See is one of the most famous places in Bavaria. Please find more information under www.starnberg24.de/english/

Successful commissioning with 2 t/h oily wastes

The VacuDry plant delivered in 2009 to England has been tested during the last months with various different input wastes. Also filter cakes coming from centrifugation units in refineries with solid contents around 40% have been operated to the required capacity of 2 t/h. Lab analysis has shown that the oil recycled from the waste has properties similar to light fuel oil while after treatment the remaining mineral solids have TPH contents below 1%.
