Lystek International Inc. (Lystek) was founded in 1999 in Waterloo, Ontario to commercialize biosolids waste treatment technologies developed at the University of Waterloo’s Microbial Biotechnology Laboratory (MBL).

Lystek has developed and is commercializing these advanced technologies for processing biosolids (“sewage sludge”) produced by municipal wastewater treatment plants. These technologies use a proprietary combination of chemical, biological and physical processes to achieve improved product (sludge) quality at reduced costs compared to the most typical biosolids handling and disposal systems. The processed materials are free of pathogens exceeding the definition for Class A Biosolids developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

 


Lystek desires to be the most comprehensive provider of optimized biosolids solutions to municipalities. Lystek knows that municipalities need to have a variety of options for biosolids disposal. Lystek’s central processing step converts belt pressed or centrifuged biosolids to a Class A homogeneous pumpable liquid fertilizer product. This step is also a central pivot point to a large variety of alternative processing options. This provides municipalities with tremendous immediate or future flexibility.

Lystek International received Year 2005 Regional Innovation Award for Sustainable Development from the National Research Council of Canada for the innovative Lystek process technology.
