Frequently Asked Questions

Find everything you need to know about our technologies, products, and processes.

Will it work in cold weather?

With surface aeration and very low water temperatures, the activity of all microbes is reduced – both native and Drylet's microbes. However, adding viable microbes will improve performance even at these low temperatures.

Will it reduce foam?

Drylet products can reduce stagnant foam layers, which inhibit off-gassing in wastewater systems.

Will it cause foaming?

No, the use of Drylet’s product does not lead to foaming. In fact, the microbes delivered by the product help eliminate foaming and bulking.

Will it change pH?

With the correct blend of Drylet’s proprietary microbial products, our solutions help stabilize and maintain a consistent pH. Rather than causing sudden pH shifts, Drylet’s microbes work synergistically within the treatment environment to support balanced biological activity, promoting optimal conditions for treatment processes.

Can we store it outside?

No. Drylet’s products should be stored in a dry environment.

Where should we store it?

The product should be stored indoors, away from heat, cold, and moisture, in the original containers.

Any special handling instructions?

Drylet’s products are non-pathogenic, but breathing the dust should be avoided (see SDS).

Will it kill our microbes?

Our products do not eliminate native microbes. Instead, a new biological balance is achieved at a higher rate of microbial activity than that attainable without Drylet's products.

Will it reduce odor?

Yes, Drylet's products will reduce odor in any wastewater management system. According to a study conducted by Purdue University, odors were found to be reduced by 43%.

What happens to Drylet products remaining in your system? Does it end up in the environment?

Dylet’s biocatalyst makes up less than about 10 ppm of the treated volume. It does end up in the environment. Because Drylet products are made from food-grade, natural products, they are safe for human, animal, and aquatic life.

How do Drylet’s products work to improve solids processing?

Drylet's products introduce naturally occurring microorganisms that accelerate the breakdown of organic materials in solids. These microorganisms degrade solids faster, reduce odor, and help convert waste into valuable resources such as biogas.

What types of solids can Drylet products treat?

Drylet's products are effective in treating a wide variety of organic solids, including biosolids, food waste, manure, industrial wastewater sludge, and agricultural waste. They can be applied in municipal, industrial, and agricultural settings.

How much time will it take to see results after using Drylet products?

The timeline for visible results can vary based on the type and volume of solids being treated, but clients typically begin seeing improvements in solid breakdown, odor reduction, and waste volume reduction within a few weeks of use.

Can Drylet products be integrated with existing equipment or processes?

Yes, Drylet's products can be easily integrated into most existing systems, whether for wastewater treatment or sludge/lagoon management. No major modifications are typically required, and they can complement existing processing technologies to improve overall performance.

What kind of results can I expect in terms of cost savings?

Clients typically experience cost savings through reduced waste hauling and disposal fees, as Drylet’s products reduce the volume of solids needing disposal. Additionally, the enhanced treatment process can lower energy costs and improve operational efficiency, further driving down expenses.

How do I determine the right Drylet product for my needs?

To determine the right product, consider the type of waste you are treating, its volume, and any specific treatment goals (e.g., odor reduction, faster decomposition, compliance with regulations). Drylet’s customer service team can assist you with choosing the best product based on your requirements.
