Syneco Systems

What Syneco Systems does

Syneco Systems, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned American manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Minnesota, with a manufacturing plant in Oakdale, California, that ships F.O.B. domestically. The company designs, makes, and sells the PEACEMAKER line of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) odor control and corrosion control equipment for municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. Its core technology is a patented polymeric amine-impregnated converting media housed in a two-stage fixed-bed scrubber architecture: Stage 1 chemically converts gaseous H2S into a stable, biodegradable liquid polysulfide, and Stage 2 uses activated carbon polishing media to remove residual low-level malodors, achieving 99%+ H2S reduction on average and peak loadings.

The product portfolio centers on PEACEMAKER Converting Dry Air Scrubbers (available in 10 sizes), PEACEMAKER Odor Control Manhole Scrubbers, PEACEMAKER Odor Control Vent Scrubbers (Standard, Slip-On, and Flanged variants from 3" to 12"), PEACEMAKER Inflow Protector Inserts (a patented manhole insert that stops 3,000 to 12,000 gallons of rainwater infiltration per day per manhole), and PEACEMAKER Converting/Polishing Media (the recurring consumable). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time equipment sales, multi-year equipment leases, recurring media replacement purchases, and 1-3 year service contracts that guarantee scrubber life based on documented H2S loadings and airflow levels.

Syneco goes to market directly to municipalities and industrial facilities through its website, phone, fax, and a consultative selling motion supported by sizing forms, technical resources, bid specifications, and case histories. The company positions its decentralized, point-source scrubber architecture as a lower-cost alternative to large centralized scrubber systems, eliminating the need for added chemicals, water, ducting, or routine maintenance. Its customer base is split across two primary verticals, municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater, with no disclosed anchor customers, no international operations, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or external funding.

Revenue model

1. Equipment Sales: Sale of Peacemaker® scrubbers, manhole scrubbers, vent scrubbers, and inflow protector inserts. Customers can purchase equipment outright.
2. Media Replacement: Ongoing replacement of H2S converting and polishing media as it depletes over the service life of the equipment.
3. Equipment Leasing: One to three year lease terms with new media or scrubber provided at end of term. Flexible to change equipment based on changing conditions.
4. Service Contracts: One to three year service contracts for both lease and purchase options, guaranteeing scrubber system life based on documented H2S loadings and airflow levels.

Core offering

Syneco Systems manufactures the PEACEMAKER® line of hydrogen sulfide odor control equipment — including dry air scrubbers, manhole scrubbers, vent scrubbers, inflow protector inserts, and converting/polishing media — that chemically converts H2S gas in municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems. The equipment uses a proprietary polymeric amine media that removes 99%+ of H2S without requiring consumable chemicals, water, or expensive installation work.

Product overview

Syneco Systems manufactures the PEACEMAKER® line of hydrogen sulfide odor control and corrosion control products for municipal and industrial wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. The product portfolio centers on patented Converting Media technology using polymeric amine chemistry that converts gaseous H2S into stable liquid polymer, achieving 99%+ H2S removal. The core product family includes: PEACEMAKER® Converting Dry Air Scrubbers (the flagship two-stage scrubber system in 10 sizes from 2×2 to 10×10 for point-source odor control), PEACEMAKER® Odor Control Manhole Scrubbers (inserts for sewer manholes), PEACEMAKER® Odor Control Vent Scrubbers (vent stack filters in three styles), PEACEMAKER® Inflow Protector Inserts (for rainwater exclusion), and PEACEMAKER® Converting/Polishing Media (the specialty consumable media that powers all scrubber products). The company positions these as decentralized, cost-effective alternatives to large centralized scrubber systems, eliminating the need for chemical addition, ducting, and ongoing maintenance.

Brands

• Peacemaker®: Patented product line of hydrogen sulfide odor control equipment including Dry Air Scrubbers, Manhole Scrubbers, Vent Scrubbers, and H2S Converting/Polishing Media used in municipal and industrial wastewater applications.

Products and services

• PEACEMAKER® Converting Dry Air Scrubber Factory-built dry air scrubber that removes 99%+ of hydrogen sulfide from wastewater headspaces by converting the gas on a proprietary polymeric amine media, eliminating the need for water or chemicals. Designed for municipal and industrial wastewater collection points where continuous unattended H2S control is required.
• PEACEMAKER® Odor Control Manhole Scrubber Compact scrubber designed for direct installation in manhole frames/chimneys, treating H2S at the source in collection-system access points. For municipal sewer authorities needing passive, low-maintenance odor control in the right-of-way.
• PEACEMAKER® Odor Control Vent Scrubber Vent-mount scrubber treating H2S in vent streams from lift stations, wet wells, and industrial pretreatment tanks using the same polymeric amine conversion chemistry. For plants where vented headspace exhaust is the primary odor source.
• PEACEMAKER® Inflow Protector Insert Insert accessory for the PEACEMAKER® manhole scrubber configuration that manages stormwater inflow while protecting the odor control media from saturation. Sold to complement manhole scrubber installations.
• PEACEMAKER® Converting/Polishing Media Proprietary polymeric amine replacement media sold in conversion-stage and polishing-stage formulations to refresh existing PEACEMAKER® scrubber units. Generates recurring revenue for Syneco tied to the installed base of PEACEMAKER® equipment.
