What PECS Ambiente & Sostenibilidad does

PECS Ambiente & Sostenibilidad (legal name PECKSAMBIENTE S.A.) is a privately held Ecuadorian environmental services company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Quito, Ecuador, with 51-100 employees. The company specializes in the management of industrial and hazardous waste, providing integrated services to Ecuador's oil and gas sector including evacuation and national transport, recycling, treatment of liquids and solids, valorization, and final disposal. Core operating assets include an 80,000 m2 Treatment and Final Disposal Center in La Parker (Orellana Province) with 65,000 m3 of storage capacity, hydrocarbon recovery plants with capacity of approximately 350-500 barrels per day, a 1,000 m3/day fluid treatment plant, a 250 m3/day bioremediation center, and a licensed hazardous-waste transport fleet of approximately 790 vehicles.

The company's technology stack is centered on a circular-economy model applied to physical and chemical treatment processes. Proprietary capabilities include an encapsulation process that converts 100% of incinerated hazardous-waste ash into non-leaching construction blocks (Bloques DR); bioremediation of contaminated drilling cuttings and soils via nutrient addition and extended monitoring; hydrocarbon recovery producing industrial additives (Aditivos DR) that improve bunker-fuel performance; organic composting producing fertilizer (Abono DR) for palm and cocoa crops; and recovered drilling cuttings converted to construction fill (Relleno DR). Water treatment capability includes reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, with the P.T.A.I. (Planta de Tratamiento de Agua de Inyección) plant achieving 98% SSR removal and 99.9% oil elimination. The company holds Environmental Licenses #559 (2010) and #070 (2016) from Ecuador's Ministry of Environment and ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications.

PECS generates revenue primarily through professional services (waste management contracts, environmental consulting, engineering and design, emergency spill response) plus product sales of the four DR circular-economy products. Pricing is custom and project-based, typically under multi-year contracts, with no public pricing disclosed. Named oil-and-gas customers include Petrobras, Orión Energy, Schlumberger, PAM, Río Napo, Petrobell, Petrosud-Petroriva, and Shaya. Secondary segments served include general industrial companies and healthcare facilities for hazardous-waste transport. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with a single-country (Ecuador) geographic footprint.

Core offering

Based on the company name "PECS Ambiente & Sostenibilidad," the firm appears to operate in the environment and sustainability domain. No source-verified details about its core offerings, customer base, or specific product/service portfolio are available in the supplied input.

Product overview

PECS Ambiente & Sostenibilidad operates as an environmental solutions company offering four circular-economy-derived products and four service lines. The core products (Bloques DR, Aditivos DR, Abono DR, and Relleno DR) are all derived from waste valorization processes—building blocks from incineration ashes, industrial additives from hydrocarbon waste, organic fertilizer from composting, and fill material from drilling cuttings. These products are supported by four service pillars: waste management (handling hazardous/non-hazardous solid and liquid waste), environmental consulting (permits, audits, management plans), engineering and design (treatment plant construction), and sustainable development (circular economy promotion). The company applies a circular economy model to minimize contamination by transforming waste into raw materials for construction, agriculture, and industrial applications.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: North American leader in hazardous waste management, industrial cleaning, and emergency response. Comparable because it serves oil & gas operators with drilling waste, produced water treatment, and spill response — overlapping with PECS's drilling waste and contingency services.
• Stericycle: Global hazardous waste services provider with significant Latin American presence. Comparable in regulated waste collection, transport, treatment, and disposal for industrial and healthcare customers.
• Stericycle: Provides regulated waste management and compliance services across the Americas. Comparable to PECS in transport, treatment, and disposal of hazardous industrial waste for enterprise clients.
• FCC Medio Ambiente: Spanish environmental services group with growing Latin American footprint in industrial and municipal waste. Comparable because it offers integrated waste management, treatment plants, and circular-economy solutions to industrial customers.
• Veolia Environmental Services (Ecuador / LatAm): Veolia operates hazardous waste management and environmental services across Latin America, including Ecuador. Comparable because it offers integrated waste treatment, valorization, and environmental consulting to industrial clients, competing with PECS for the same multinational oil & gas accounts.
• Repsol (Servicios Ambientales): Integrated energy company with environmental services for upstream and downstream operations. Comparable as both an oil & gas client archetype and a potential in-house competitor for waste management at the wellsite.

Emerging players

• Holcim Ecuador: Ecuadorian construction materials producer. Comparable because its core products (concrete blocks, pavers, fill) compete directly with PECS's Bloques DR and Relleno DR product lines in Ecuador's construction market.
• Técnicas Reunidas: Spanish engineering and construction firm with environmental services for the energy sector. Comparable in engineering, design, and construction of water/waste treatment plants — overlapping with PECS's engineering and design service line.

Others

• Schlumberger (SLB): Global oilfield services firm that is also a PECS client. Comparable as an ecosystem participant — both companies serve the same upstream customers, and Schlumberger's vertical integration choices could affect demand for PECS's waste management services.

Direct peers

• Ecocia: Ecuadorian environmental services company focused on industrial and hazardous waste management, including treatment and final disposal. Comparable as the closest direct domestic competitor to PECS in Ecuador's regulated waste market.
