FerroBio Group appears to be a legitimate industrial entity in the B2B mining and chemical sector (iron hydroxides for biogas/water treatment), which provides strong real-world utility. However, the project submission is degraded significantly by low-quality, hyperbolic claims (e.g., audience reach defined as 'everyone' and traction claimed as 'most people have used my product'). While the core technology and team size (30) suggest a viable business comparable to the baseline, the ambiguous financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 2500000') and poor response quality reduce confidence in the specific growth trajectory presented here.

Description
FerroBio Group is a mining technology startup set by MBC Chemical Industries SA Group. We are a Spanish company (funded by national investors) that extracts, converts, develops and supplies iron hydroxides to provide solutions for the industries of biogas and water treatment and to work out the foul odour related issues. The mineral is extracted in the mine from high-quality veins. Its subsequent thermal treatment and micronisation are carried out at our facilities. The product obtained as a result has one of the highest H2S absorbing capacities in the world. Our R&D team (engineers, biotechnologists and chemists) stays in touch with the production team and the end client at all times. They are involved in the development of new products as well as consulting the end clients providing solutions to any desulphurisation problem that might come up: “we grow along with our clients”
