Our Cottage Grove branch has proudly participated in the Adopt-A-Highway program for many years. Through this initiative, we’ve had the opportunity to adopt a stretch of highway near our facility and help maintain it throughout the year 🛣️🚮 Adopt-A-Highway is a great way for organizations to give back by keeping roadways safe and litter-free while also showing pride in the communities we live and work in. Thank you to our Cottage Grove team for rolling up your sleeves and making a difference. This is just one example of how Hydrite Helps! 💚 Learn more about our community efforts:

Corrosive, smelly, prone to staining, and sometimes dangerous, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) isn't something you want to see in wastewater. Unleashing the oxidative power of peracetic acid (PAA) helps break down H₂S into two safe byproducts: acetic acid (vinegar) and water. Discover how Hydritreat 2216 does just that, with better results compared to traditional methods like bleach and peroxide:
