Eco-Tec Inc.

Eco-Tec’s products are rooted in ground-breaking technologies such as Recoflo, our reciprocating flow ion exchange process, initially developed by Dr.Robert Hunter, Dr. Irving Spinner and Dr. Richard Hummer and further developed by our Chairman, Dr. Phillip Simmons during his graduate studies at the University of Toronto 50 years ago along with professors of the chemical engineering department. This provided the foundation for the many innovations achieved by the company over its history. Recoflo^® breaks the mould of traditional ion exchange, with its performance and economic limitations, and has evolved into a variety of leading concepts that enable clients to economically, efficiently, and effectively manage valuable industrial resources.

Eco-Tec has won numerous awards for innovation, technology, and trade while adhering to our corporate philosophy of providing superior quality products based upon excellent technology, delivering best value to our customers. The company continues to build on this foundation of innovation, breaking ground in new areas through the work of our experienced and knowledgeable technical development and engineering teams.

More recently, Eco-Tec has developed a prominent presence in markets such as the Treatment of Produced Water for heavy oil processing; Heat Stable Salts Removal from amine circuits for the production of low-sulfur fuels for oil, gas and petrochemical companies looking to meet emissions standards or other process requirements; and Biogas and Sour Gas Purification use in energy applications.
