Unlike conventional wastewater systems that rely on biological processes or chemical additives, Hydro Reserve's proprietary mechanical water filtration technology achieves 98–99% biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) reduction while bringing total suspended solids (TSS) and fats, oils, and grease (FOG) to non-detect levels.
"Our system is not just a step forward; it's actually quite a leap," said Alex Argento, president of Hydro Reserve. "We've developed a one-of-a-kind mechanical solution that addresses some of the industry's toughest challenges, ensuring compliance and sustainability without compromising efficiency."
Hydro Reserve's systems are designed with flexibility in mind, with standard systems accommodating flow rates between 50 GPM– 1000 GPM, all within a compact footprint and without the need for bulky holding tanks. The modular design ensures scalability, making the technology suitable for a variety of industries, including food and beverage, produce washing, dairy processing, and meat, egg and poultry operations.
By converting contaminants into a solid cake layer and reclaiming the clean water for reuse, Hydro Reserve exceeds environmental standards. The system significantly reduces hauling costs and energy use, helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals while allowing for the reuse or sale of the separated biosolids.
Hydro Reserve's technology is already being adopted across multiple sectors. The company says that initial deployments have demonstrated measurable improvements in wastewater quality, compliance, and cost savings.
A spin-off from Wahaso, a leader in water harvesting, Hydro Reserve combines decades of expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver sustainable and compliant water solutions.
