E2metrix

What E2metrix does

E2METRIX Inc. is a Sherbrooke, Quebec-based water treatment technology company founded in 2011 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ovivo Inc. since February 2024 (with ultimate ownership held by Germany's SKion Water GmbH). The company designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes proprietary electro-technologies for removing and destroying PFAS and other targeted contaminants from water, wastewater, and industrial process streams. Its product portfolio comprises three core technology platforms: Olift™ Foam Fractionation (ozone-enhanced continuous microbubble flotation for PFAS removal and concentration), Obreak™ Electro-Oxidation (electrochemical oxidation using non-sacrificial electrodes to break carbon-fluorine bonds and mineralize PFAS into CO2 and fluoride ions), and ECOTHOR® (a broader electro-coagulation and electro-disinfection platform with more than 200 reactors delivered to date). These technologies can be deployed individually or as an integrated treatment train that combines concentration, destruction, and polishing steps.

The company serves municipal drinking water utilities facing EPA Maximum Contaminant Level compliance, municipal wastewater and landfill leachate operators, industrial manufacturers with PFAS-contaminated process water, and environmental remediation sites. Its customer base includes Brisbane and Hobart International Airports for AFFF-related PFAS contamination, West Morgan-East Lawrence Water and Sewer Authority in Alabama for drinking water treatment (achieving up to 99% PFOS/PFOA reduction in pilot testing), and Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission in New Jersey for landfill leachate treatment. E2METRIX's revenue model combines capital equipment sales (project-based, custom-engineered Obreak, Olift, and ECOTHOR systems), technology licensing (notably the Evocra OzoFractionation® license for North America), and professional services for pilot programs and site assessments. As part of Ovivo, the company now leverages Ovivo's global sales force of up to 1,400 water treatment experts across 18 countries to commercialize its solutions internationally.

The company's IP position is anchored by 16 issued patents plus 8 pending on its electro-technology reactors and an additional 18 patents (9 issued, 9 pending) on the ECOTHOR platform. Distribution is augmented through strategic channel partnerships: Evocra (OzoFractionation licensing for North America) and Arcadis (licensing for UK, Europe, and South America). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific rather than list-price, with systems delivered as container, trailer, or fixed installations scaled to customer flow rates and treatment requirements. The company operates offices in Sherbrooke (R&D and manufacturing), Salt Lake City (U.S. commercial), and Montreal (Ovivo parent HQ).

Revenue model

1. Equipment and Systems Sales (Capital Equipment): E2METRIX designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes its electrotechnology equipment (Obreak™ EO systems, Olift™ Foam Fractionation, ECOTHOR® reactors) and sells them to municipal and industrial customers. Systems are delivered as container, trailer, or fixed installations. Revenue is capital equipment driven, with project-based sizing based on customer flow rates and treatment requirements.
2. Technology Licensing (North America): Through its licensing partnership with Evocra (E2METRIX / OVIVO holds the North America license for Evocra's OzoFractionation® process), E2METRIX generates licensing revenue for use of its technologies in North America. Evocra holds licensing rights for UK, Europe, and South America.
3. Professional Services (Pilot and Treatment Services): E2METRIX conducts pilot programs at customer sites (e.g., Alabama drinking water plant, New Jersey landfill leachate) to demonstrate performance. These engagements may include site assessment, pilot operation, data analysis, and full-scale proposal development as professional services.

Core offering

E2METRIX designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes electrochemical water treatment systems for the onsite removal, concentration, and destruction of PFAS ("forever chemicals") and other targeted contaminants in municipal drinking water, wastewater, landfill leachate, and industrial process water. Its core product lines are Olift™ Foam Fractionation, Obreak™ Electro-Oxidation, and the ECOTHOR® electro-coagulation/electro-disinfection platform, sold as capital equipment and integrated treatment trains.

Product overview

E2METRIX is a PFAS destruction solutions company offering an integrated toolbox of water treatment technologies. The core portfolio consists of four main products: Olift™ Foam Fractionation (ozone-enhanced foam fractionation for PFAS removal and concentration), Obreak™ Electro-Oxidation (electrochemical oxidation for onsite PFAS destruction), and ECOTHOR® (electrotechnology platform for general water treatment). These products can be deployed individually or as an integrated solution combining concentration (Olift™), destruction (Obreak™), and polishing steps to provide complete onsite PFAS remediation that mineralizes PFAS into harmless products rather than displacing them.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and flagship.

• EvocracoreTechnology or Integration · 11 June 2024Ovivo and E2METRIX announced a breakthrough partnership with Australian water treatment company Evocra to combine Evocra's OzoFractionation® process (ozone-enhanced foam fractionation) with E2METRIX's electrochemical oxidation technology. E2METRIX holds the North America license for Evocra's OzoFractionation® technology. This integrated solution removes and concentrates PFAS for destruction, complying with new regulatory standards while reducing liabilities. Evocra's technology has been validated at Brisbane International Airport (2017), gold mines, landfills, and fire training grounds.
• ArcadiscoreTechnology or Integration · 11 June 2024Arcadis holds licensing rights for Evocra's OzoFractionation® technology for the UK, Europe, and South America. This mirrors the E2METRIX licensing arrangement for North America, expanding the global reach of the OzoFractionation® + electrochemical oxidation integrated PFAS solution through Arcadis's European and South American operations.
• Ovivo Inc.flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 June 2023Ovivo and E2METRIX entered into an exclusive collaboration in December 2021 to develop an onsite, commercially viable treatment system for PFAS removal and destruction using electrochemical oxidation technology. Ovivo made a strategic equity investment in E2METRIX in 2022. In June 2023, Ovivo became a strategic shareholder. In February 2024, Ovivo completed the acquisition of E2METRIX. The partnership delivered impressive pilot results (up to 99% PFOS/PFOA reduction) in Alabama, USA.
