What is the HYDROMEX PROCESS? It is a simple non-burn, waste conversion technology that has the ability to transform wastes into useful products or at the very least convert them (even THW) into neutral inert materials that can be safely disposed of like ordinary soil anywhere.One of the technology's most significant feature is the remarkably low cost of equipment and process materials used. Hydromex stands for Hydro-metallurgical extraction. It's roots are from the mining industry where various processes i.e., chemical, physical, mechanical, electrical etc. were used to extract metals and other minerals from ores. Many of these processes had a common ingredient which was water, thus the prefix "Hydro." The extraction techniques in the mining industry unfortunately came with toxic and hazardous wastes which did irreparable damage to the environment. In 1982 an Austrian/German scientist seriously concerned with the environment, began research in hydrometallurgical processes with the end in view of neutralizing the toxic and hazardous wastes being generated not only by the mining industry but other industries as well. He discovered that by manipulating the processes through addition or substraction of substances, the adding or subtracting of heat, pressure and varying process times, he could create new materials with a totally new molecular structure from the original ones. His experiments created hundreds of recipes that would form the nucleus of the HYDROMEX PROCESS, a revolutionary waste management system, that would have far reaching applications in the waste management services industry. Some processes would mix toxic wastes together (a practice not allowed in normal THW management protocols) to come out with useful things like paint, grease removers, or deodorizers. Some formulas turn regular municipal garbage into hollow blocks for homes or high quality compost and fertilizers for agriculture.
