Drylet was founded on the principle of helping nature. We are a bioremediation technology company whose proprietary biocatalysts optimize biological processes in any organic waste treatment or storage system. We serve many industries, including livestock and agricultural production, protein processing, food waste rendering, and municipal wastewater (the full list of the industries we serve is available here.) Outcomes include solids reduction of more than 60% in wastewater treatment plants and animal production facilities, as well as dramatically improved resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
Our cost-effective and zero-footprint, zero-CAPEX solution to biosolids accumulation improves operations, reduces adverse environmental impacts, and positively impacts the bottom line.
Our products contain no genetically modified organisms or chemical ingredients. They are safe for human, animal, and aquatic life.

The Drylet Advantage
Drylet combines advanced material science and microbiology in its patented microbe-delivery platform that accelerates any biological treatment process. The dry-to-the-touch biocatalysts sink into the sludge. Their carefully selected microbes produce the necessary enzymes to break down molecules and lyse cells, degrading organic waste through the biological process of digestion. The effective microbe-delivery platform translates into reliable results.
manuremagic® reduces solids and inhibits foaming in deep pits, lagoons, and pull-plug systems. A Purdue University study found it lowers H2S and odor by 50% and 43% respectively, while an Iowa State University found 75% foam inhibition and 33% solids reduction.
Microbes are the operating system of any wastewater treatment system, including lagoons. Turbo-charging their activity makes lagoon dredging inexpensive, easy, non-disruptive, and headache-free. In addition, it provides ongoing treatment, while reduced solids translate to significant environmental benefits.
Bio React AD boosts biogas generation and increases solids reduction in anaerobic digestion processes.
From municipal to industrial wastewater, Aqua Assist improves treatment operations and sludge reduction.
Sonar Mapping
Drylet's sonar mapping service uses advanced sonar technology and satellite solutions to develop comprehensive maps of the subsurface layers within lagoons, reservoirs and other aquatic storage systems for wastewater treatment and solids management.
What Clients Are Saying
I am highly recommending Drylet’s Aqua Assist. It is working amazingly well at our ancient, in-dire-need-of-upgrading, extended aeration plant. Even with all the rags, grit, and other trash all swirling around these amazing bugs, they are still getting the job done well enough for me to want to recommend it to you. If you’re on the fence, all I can say is “go for it, and give it a try.” I’m certain that you won’t be disappointed.
Keith Milne, Chief Operator, Town of Deerfield, MAI was introduced to Drylet over three years ago. Given all the “magic” products that have come and gone over the years, it was hard for me to believe Aqua Assist could do what I was being told it could do. Convincing my client and wastewater treatment plant operator to try it was even harder. But the Drylet representatives I was working with were very knowledgeable in wastewater treatment and the biochemistry behind it. We ran two test trials at our plant and saw repeated results which translated into financial savings. We are still using the product today.
Matthew Froehlich, PE, Project Manager, BGE, Inc.I couldn’t run my plant without Drylet, it simply does what it says it does.
Charles Paige, Chief Wastewater Operator, City of TrinityI have reduced the number of hauls by 50%. I have gained capacity in my digesters and have reduced the number of aeration basins. I can now take on a larger load to the plant if needed.
Jon D., Project Manager at a 5 MGD WWTPWe had a major grease problem at a couple of my restaurants and the smell was driving away a lot of business. We had a chance to sample Drylet’s product and it took care of the problem within a week! Happy customer here for life!
Matt Jones, Restaurant ownerManureMagic® solved the odor issues that had been giving me headaches for 20 years. I couldn’t recommend it more.
Mike Johnson, FarmerThere was little to no crusting in the ManureMagic® barn… It took a lot less time to agitate and to get a thorough mixture.
Brent Frey, Owner of Frey Pork ProductionI’ve been pumping manure pits for years. Recently, I had the opportunity to trial ManureMagic® in two side-by-side barns. After a whole season, I pumped both barns. The barn treated with ManureMagic® took 20% less time than the untreated one, and yielded more manure. The difference was really astounding! ManureMagic® is a real time saver.
Steve Kruse, MSR Kruse Farm LTDDrylet Aqua Assist worked wonders on one of our historically ‘troubled’ sewer plants. We decreased sludge hauling over 33%; increased digester solids by more than 1%; eliminated bulking in our clarifier and decreased our Total Suspended Solids by more than 50%, all without making any changes to our day-to-day plant operations.
Jerri Heit, Field Utility Supervisor, SouthWest Water CompanyWe added ManureMagic® to the pits of each of our grower/finisher barns and within a few weeks the odor was cut by 50-75%. Being on the west side of a major highway, we wanted to remain proactive with odor control. We have been looking for something to help us with odor, and I think we’ve found the answer. ManureMagic® is easy to work with and has a pleasant smell. We strongly recommend ManureMagic®.
