• The Honourable Harinder Takhar, Ontario Minister of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, joins Eco-Tec in celebration of the launch of biogas purification technology to the global market
PICKERING, ON, Canada, March 10, 2008 -- Eco-Tec proudly welcomed the Honourable Harinder Takhar, Minister of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, to its event marking the shipment of its first two Biogas Purification systems. The event consisted of a brief presentation by Eco-Tec President, Mike Dejak, followed by an introduction of Minister Takhar who presented Eco-Tec with a Certificate of Congratulations.
"The growth of Ontario's economy depends on innovation by our small and medium enterprises so that Ontario remains competitive on the global stage," said Minister Takhar. "As a pioneer in the industrial manufacturing sector that is going global, Eco-Tec is setting a great example for business of all sizes across the province."
The biogas purification technology is used to economically remove hydrogen sulfide from methane as it is produced. Two recent sales of the Biogas Purification Systems-one for the treatment of landfill gas purification, and the other for treating gas generated through food processing waste by a leading Canadian food manufacturer-have increased both awareness and availability of environmental technology.
"We are pleased to be able to showcase Eco-Tec's continued success in manufacturing environmental equipment in Ontario, which brings benefits to the local economy and the global environment," stated Mike Dejak, President.
Eco-Tec is a recent, two-time award-winner of the Ontario Global Traders Award as well as the Canadian Innovation Award for Environmental Technology. As a Canadian manufacturer thriving in an ever-fluctuating economic environment, Eco-Tec is proud to be able to present its capabilities and show how one company can bring economic value and international recognition to both Ontario and Durham Region.
Eco-Tec is an award-winning, globally recognized manufacturer of water purification, gas processing, and chemical recovery systems for industrial operations.
