A Brief Overview of the Company
HY-TEK Bio started with the widely accepted fact that it has demonstrated through extensive research over many years:
Algae consume 1.83 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce one gram of biomass.
With that initial metric and its breakthroughs in bioreactors, grow lights, and nutrients, HY-TEK Bio now reduces carbon dioxide and grows biomass in a closed system that meets or exceeds contemporary regulatory rules and corporate goals.
The process is fully proven, with excellent results. HY-TEK Bio's pilot plant is completely self-contained, indoors, and operates under optimal conditions at all times. It is independent of seasonal and daily variations in temperature and sunlight, and it can operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere in the world.
HY-TEK Bio's operating facilities are modular and scalable, so they can work with any size generating capacity, from small engines at landfills and wastewater treatment plants, through waste-to-energy plants, to anaerobic digesters and large power stations.
