General Conditions of Sales

 

 

Water pollution is a global economic and ecological problem, both in terms of its impact on public health and the cost of purifying water and making it safe to drink.

In this context, Sotecna has developed products based on enzymes and bacteria that use natural active ingredients to treat waste water without the need for traditional chemical products.

Therefore, Sotecna uses resources that derive from nature. Bacteria, for example, are found everywhere in the natural world, whilst enzymes are molecules that are naturally present in all living organisms.

Backed by its experience Sotecna’s laboratory has developed a full range of products that combine the beneficial effects of the natural activity of enzymes with the natural purification power of bacteria.

Detergents based on enzymes and/or microbes act by breaking down long organic molecules into simple compounds. By producing gases and water, they are able to eliminate unwanted substances, as they prepare the conditions for water treatment.

Sotecna’s Products provide genuine solutions for water treatment.
