(Lystek) was founded in 2000 at the University of Waterloo, Ontario to commercialize the treatment of biosolids and other organic “waste”. The Lystek system was developed on the principles of cost efficiency and long-term, environmental sustainability. The result is an innovative, patented, low cost solution with multiple benefits for converting wastewater treatment plants (WWTP’s) into Resource Recovery Centres. Lystek’s unique; hydrolysis process is award-winning and commercially proven with multiple deployments. High speed shearing, alkali and low pressure steam are simultaneously applied in an enclosed reactor to transform raw sludge or digested biosolids into a unique, multi-purpose material. The end result is a liquid product that is rich in nutrients and organic matter but that also remains fully pumpable with conventional handling and application equipment. The system has a small foot print and is simple, modular and flexible. It can be easily integrated into existing WWTP’s. Capital and operating costs are low and it can be deployed as an on-site or off-site (regional service) solution. Lystek is a financially strong company and our customers benefit from ongoing investments in R & D and business growth. “The addition of the state-of the-art, Lystek solution to our WWTP operations is playing a vital role in contributing to our goal of being a progressive, industry leader in biosolids management.” JANET L.
