What TecnoConverting Engineering does

TecnoConverting Engineering (legal name: TECNOCONVERTING INGENIERIA, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish engineering company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Sant Fruitós de Bages, Barcelona. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom lamella clarification and sedimentation systems for municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment. Its core product portfolio includes TecnoTec hexagonal and plate lamella modules, the Manowar bridgeless circular scraper system, rectangular scrapers, the TecnoGrabber debris retention mesh for sewer networks, compact decanters, anti-flotation systems, and component-level accessories (Thomson collection troughs, Gaudí covers, tubular skimmers). The company operates from approximately 3,500 m² of engineering and fabrication facilities, including a Valencia-based lamella profile manufacturing plant, and employs an internal team of installation technicians that executes all deployments — a positioning the company describes as unique among Spanish lamella specialists.

The company employs CFD simulation technology (TecnoTec Simulation Program) for hydraulic performance prediction and settler geometry optimization, supported by structural calculations that account for at least 50% lamella clogging scenarios. It holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS-18001 certifications, plus NSF-std61 and ACS certifications for drinking water and French market access respectively. Revenue derives from custom-engineered equipment sales (one-time), installation services (project-based), engineering/CFD services (professional services), and a recently introduced TecnoGrabber maintenance subscription service (2024) in Madrid and Catalonia. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with engineering-led proposals, supplemented by trade fair presence at IFAT, SMAGUA, Aquatech, WEFTEC, and Pollutec.

The company serves customers in 30+ countries with 70% of turnover from international export, operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Portugal, France, and Asia, channel partnerships in Czech Republic, Romania, India, and Angola, and exclusive distribution of DEWA scrapers in Spain and Portugal. Named customers include municipal WWTPs (Segovia, Parla, Tarragona, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Navarcles, Portugal), airport infrastructure (Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas), industrial sites (major Spanish wine, confectionery, and dairy companies; Colombia Port for oil separation), and INTEL Ireland. Pricing is project-based with multi-year contracts and no publicly disclosed standard tiers.
