The addition of microbial products as a technology has been applied for at least 40 years in the field of municipal and industrial wastewater processing. There are various companies involved in this field. However they cannot be considered competitors as they cannot offer all the benefits that the Ydro Process® does. The majority of these companies specialize only in fat and grease removal, odor control or even in minimization of the produced sludge but only up to 30-40%. Contrary to these companies which operate as retailers, Hydrotech Environmental produces and supplies the products, tunes the plants and provides any necessary technical advice and support to the end client.
