THE YDRO PROCESS®

---

• Are not animal-derived
• Contain only naturally occurring bacteria
• Are not genetically modified (non-GMO)
• Are non-toxic and non-pathogenic
• Require a maturation phase
• Contain 109 CFU per gram
• Population doubles every 20 minutes during the maturation time
• Effective at 4ºC and above

• Microbial populations within the Ydro Process® adapt to changeable conditions 
• Added bacteria become dominant and existing bacteria adapt and are assimilated
• Added microorganisms produce enzymes which enhance the biological process
• Degradation of complex organic molecules, oils and greases into simple components leads to production of Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs), i.e. acetic, butyric, propionic acids 
• VFAs are then easily converted to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in aerobic conditions and methane (CH4) and hydrogen (H2) in anaerobic conditions – and also into free, available energy
• Molecular breakdown and destruction in 80% of total biomass via a metabolic pathway, catabolism. Only 20% of total biomass is utilised for new bacteria synthesis

Part of our bacteria promote the Nitrogen cycle – Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation), with the advantage of only half of the Ammonium being converted to Nitrite. This leads to substantial energy savings, due to less required oxygen. Ammonia (NH4+) is converted to Nitrites (NO2–) then Nitrogen (N2), without first being converted to Nitrates (NO3–) – where highest Oxygen usage occurs.
