Achieve solids reduction using Drylet's solution
Drylet is the award-winning developer and manufacturer of an advanced biocatalyst for delivering microbes. Drylet’s technology reduces biosolids between 30% and 70+% in municipal or industrial wastewater treatment facilities and livestock production operations.
Easy-to-use and scalable, Drylet’s products require no capital expense.
Regardless of infrastructure set-up or feedstock, Drylet's award-winning biocatalyst boosts microbial activity to lower biosolids mass in wastewater. Outcomes include operations improvement, cost savings, and reduced carbon footprint.
Benefits demonstrated in case studies
- Municipal WWTP reduces sludge production by more than 70%
- Swine lagoon displayed more than 60% solids reduction despite continuous activity
- Hog producer enjoyed 68% reduction in total service calls for pressure washing to remedy stubborn manure accumulation
- Industrial wastewater facility observed more than 80% total avoided solids in lagoon
- Dairy farm digester using Drylet's biogas-boosting product observed a significant solids reduction resulting in cleaned-up sludge lines, reducing operating and maintenance costs.

How Drylet's biocatalyst works
Many wastewater treatment plants are operating at or near their maximum capacity.
The more biosolids they process, the higher their operating costs and the bigger the strain on their system.
How Drylet works with new customers
Drylet's dedicated team of engineers guides each customer through the project:
- data collection and analysis
- scenario-modeling thanks to dedicated software to identify goals and protocol
- on-site visits and conference calls to ensure specific challenges are addressed.
Testimonials
We have been using ManureMagic® for three years. Even our neighbors have noticed that less odor is coming from the barns and during manure application to the fields.
Jake Grodahl, Pork Producer in North West IowaSince 2010, Bio-Aquatic Testing has conducted testing on over 20 products seeking NCP listing as bioremediation agents. Of the products we have tested, Drylet’s MB Bioremediation product has shown to have the highest efficiency rating we have tested regarding the breakdown of both the low and high end carbon chains (alkanes and aromatics).
Chris Robason, President, Bio-Aquatic TestingDrylet 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.
