Biological Sludge Reduction
Biological Excess Sludge Reduction in Activated Sludge Systems, YDRO PROCESS!
In activated sludge systems, the reduction of daily biological excess sludge that needs to be removed from the system is carried out using a specially developed bacterial culture in granular form containing facultative hydrolysis bacteria, aerobic heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria, necessary enzymes, nutrients, minerals and bio-accelerators.
YDRO Series Products; are naturally occurring bacterial cultures, are definitely not genetically modified and do not contain any content obtained from animals. Each product is produced according to the characteristics of the wastewater.
YDRO PROCESS® creates optimum conditions for microbial product growth, reproduction and operation. It contains;
Hydrolysis Enzyme,
Facultative cultures,
Aerobic cultures,
Micro-nutrients,
Bio-enrichers.
- The added bacteria become the dominant species in the environment and live side by side with the existing bacteria in cooperation.
- They do not harm the process or the bacteria during their life process.
- Under suitable conditions, the added microorganisms produce enzymes that accelerate the biological process.
- By making the hydrolysis process dominant in the system, complex organic compounds are converted into simple organic compounds (Volatile Fatty Acids, Acetic, Butyric, Propionic Acid etc.) and biological excess sludge is reduced.
- It enables complex substances such as Oil-Grease to be converted into simple molecules such as Volatile Fatty Acid. Blockages caused by these and damage to lines and mechanical equipment are minimized.
- The Ydro Process® requires less oxygen source since there is no nitrate (NO3-) conversion step as ammonia (NH4+) is converted into nitrites (NO2-) and then into nitrogen gas (N2).
- Additional phosphorus removal is provided with the YDRO process.
- 60-80% reduction in excess sludge to be disposed of,
- 20-40% savings in electrical energy spent for aeration,
- 80% reduction in cationic PE consumption,
- Additional removal in nitrogen and phosphorus parameters,
- Significant increase in micropollutant removal,
- Improvement in plant outlet water parameters (BOD, COD, TSS, TN, TP),
- High resistance to incoming shock loads (high loads and sudden dilutions),
- Provision of odor control due to septic conditions,
- Reduction in plant oil-grease load.

What is Bio-Acceleration (Biougmentation) Technology?
Bioacceleration is the process of accelerating biological degradation reactions, which are the basis of biological treatment processes used to remove organic matter in the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater, by adding specially selected bacterial cultures to the system from outside.
Biological treatment processes have been developed using two basic aquatic environments:
Aerobic (Aerated): There is a sufficient amount of Dissolved Oxygen in the aquatic environment.
Anaerobic (Aerobic): There is no Dissolved Oxygen in the aquatic environment.
In order for a bacterium to survive and reproduce, it needs an energy source, cell carbon that will form the new bacterial cell structure that will form while reproducing, and inorganic substances such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium. Carbon and energy sources are called substrates. Bacteria are divided into three main groups according to their ability to live in aerobic and anaerobic conditions:
Aerobic Bacteria: They need dissolved oxygen to produce the energy they need to reproduce. They cannot live in an oxygen-free environment.
Anaerobic Bacteria: They need an oxygen-free environment to produce energy and multiply. They cannot live in an environment with dissolved oxygen.
Facultative Bacteria: They can live, produce energy and multiply in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
