Zero wastewater discharge
Hydrokemos is a highly innovative water engineering company providing end-to-end water treatment solutions.Using our HYK modular system, we can close the nitrogen cycle without generating waste.
Complete elimination of nitrates, ammonium, cyanides, sulphides, among others, without using chemical additives, or producing sludge or waste, at very competitive operating and investment costs
Electro treatment of industrial wastewaters
The HYK technology developed by Hydrokemos is a specific electrochemical technology that eliminates nitrates and ammonium. It converts the nitrogen species dissolved in water into nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen gas. What’s more, it is environmentally harmless and does not generate waste.

Over 20% of the earth's groundwater is polluted by nitrates
The widespread use of nitrogen fertilisers and the poor management of agricultural slurry are ever-growing problems that affects the quality of groundwater. Consuming water with a high concentration of nitrates is harmful to our health, especially for children.
HYK technology is patented by Hydrokemos and endorsed by the European Commission in the Horizon2020 project.
All the water is used. No waste is generated. That’s why HYK technology is considered a clean and environmentally friendly technology.
