HOW THE YDRO PROCESS WORKS


  • Microbial populations dynamically adapt to the plant's changing conditions. 
  • Added bacteria integrate seamlessly with existing populations. 
  • Specialised microorganisms release enzymes that speed up biological breakdown. 
  • Oils, fats, and complex organic molecules are degraded into simpler compounds. 
  • Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs) are then converted into CO2 and water in aerobic conditions, or into  methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2) in anaerobic conditions – creating usable energy.
  • Up to 80% of biomass is destroyed through catabolic pathways, leaving only 20% for new bacterial synthesis - a key driver of sludge reduction.

The Nitrogen Cycle with the Ydro Process

The degradation process of Nitrogen

Part of our microbial blend promotes the Anammox pathway (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation), which requires only half of the ammonium to be converted to nitrite. 


Because it uses far less oxygen, the process delivers major energy savings. Ammonium (NH4+) is converted directly into nitrite (NO2–), and then into nitrogen gas (N2), bypassing the nitrate (NO3–) stage where oxygen demand is normally highest. This significantly reduces aeration costs and energy use.  

Implementing the Ydro Process in the sewer grid

  • Eliminates city odours (sewer grids, manholes, pumping stations).
  • Breaks down fats, oils, and grease.
  • Keeps sewer systems clear without cleaning or unclogging. 
  • Converts sewer systems into pre-treatment reactors, reducing COD by up to 80% before wastewater reaches the plant.  
  • Lowers treatment energy demand at WWTPs. 
  • Includes sulphate-reducing bacteria to block Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) formation (a major cause of odour and corrosion), cutting repair costs. 

GREEN CREDENTIALS
