Ecodyne

What Ecodyne does

Ecodyne operates as Marmon Industrial Water, the industrial water treatment equipment arm of Marmon Group (a Berkshire Hathaway company), with legal entities in Ontario, Canada (Marmon Industrial Water Limited) and Texas, USA (Marmon Industrial Water LLC). Founded in 1965 and rebranded under the Marmon Industrial Water umbrella in August 2021 following the consolidation of Ecodyne Limited and Graver Water Systems, the company designs custom industrial water treatment systems for process water, boiler feedwater, cooling water, demineralization, condensate polishing, oil/water separation, and brine treatment. It serves oil sands and SAGD operators, petrochemical and refining plants, chlor-alkali producers, mining operations, power generation facilities, and food and beverage manufacturers across North America, with a global installed base of more than 7,000 cooling towers.

The core product portfolio spans Reactivator and Lamella clarifiers, hot/cold/warm lime softeners (exclusive supplier for the SAGD process since 1976), conventional and Bayer WS Packed Bed ion exchange systems, UF/RO/EDI membrane systems, Powdex condensate polishers, Scepter stainless steel cross-flow micro/ultrafiltration membranes, Spray-Tray and Spray Scrubber deaerators, HydroFlow walnut shell filters with ECO-H2Oil media, IGF Stage induced gas flotation systems, FlowGuard ABC filters, air-cooled heat exchangers (horizontal, vertical, specialty, and industrial radiators from the 2000 O&M Manufacturing acquisition), and tubular element filters and brine ion exchange systems for chlor-alkali customers. Proprietary technology differentiators include the Scepter membrane's titanium dioxide coating on porous stainless steel tubing (operating across pH 0–14, up to 600°F/315°C, and 1,000 psig), Spray-Tray deaerator performance of 0.005 mL/L oxygen or less, and HydroFlow's greater than 98% oil and suspended solids removal with 5–10% annual media attrition.

The business model is custom-engineered equipment sales plus aftermarket parts, media, and services, with all pricing provided on a quote basis (no public price list). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of capital systems, recurring sales of consumables and replacement parts (including competitor equipment), and professional services for start-up, commissioning, retrofit, and field service. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales organized by product division (Water, Cooling Towers, Heat Exchangers, Parts) with regional offices in Burlington (HQ), Edmonton, Houston, and Warren, supported by content-driven website marketing and industry tradeshow participation.
