The technology was patented and in 2001, was rolled into a commercial licence held by Hydrodec Development Corporation (HDC). Hydrodec Development Corporation was formed with global rights to commercialise the technology and know how behind the technology. The company was initially established using venture capital funding from Virotec International, an Australian environmental technology company. A first demonstration refining facility commenced construction in 2002. Successful start up of the demonstration facility accelerated the growth of Hydrodec ultimately resulting in the formation of Hydrodec Group plc, a company listed on the AIM in the London Stock Exchange in late 2004.
