BIOBOOSTER SR™ Poised to Save Millions in Sludge-Dredging Costs at WWTPs
February 24, 2026
Three years after their release, BIOBOOSTER SR™ sludge-digesting tablets have exceeded expectations! Bionetix® International, a biosolutions company based in Canada, reports that a multi-month trial of BIOBOOSTER SR™ in wastewater lagoons demonstrated sludge volume reduction rates of 63%-70% with a strong return on investment (ROI) compared to conventional sludge removal methods. With mechanical sludge dredging frequently costing millions of dollars and severely interrupting wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) service, this simple but effective bioaugmentation solution is poised to transform the industry’s approach to sludge removal and save significant time and money in wastewater treatment and beyond.
BIOBOOSTER SR™ Success Story
The trial took place under the guidance of PR’eautech Instrumentation & Odeurs, an odor treatment specialist who supplied Bionetix® BIOBOOSTER SR™ technology to a WWTP with two multi-cell aerated lagoon systems. The WWTP began applying regular doses of BIOBOOSTER SR™ to one of their ponds in 2022-2023 and observed a sludge removal rate of 70%, which they wanted to confirm with a second trial. In 2023-2024, two ponds underwent testing. One showed a 63% reduction in sludge volume and the other showed a 68% reduction in sludge volume, very similar to the initial trial. At a small fraction of the cost of mechanical sludge dredging, these results represented incredible ROI potential for other WWTP operators to take advantage of by following the same treatment regimen.
The Key to Better Wastewater/Aquaculture Lagoon Management
Packed with select microbial strains, nutrient cofactors, and enzymatic components, BIOBOOSTER SR™ delivers sludge digestion power to the bottom of the lagoon where it is needed most. These slow-release tablets facilitate the biodegradation of organic waste and biomass buildup under both aerobic and facultative/anaerobic conditions, measurably reducing sludge for improved treatment capacity. As sludge is eliminated, lagoon operators can expect sludge dredging operations to become less frequent, potentially saving millions of dollars on traditional sludge removal methods that interfere with wastewater treatment processes. The same benefits extend to aquaculture ponds, which require routine draining and cleaning to remove food waste and fecal matter buildup to support good health and avoid off-flavors.
A New Pathway to Sludge Removal
The remarkable success of BIOBOOSTER SR™ opens a new pathway to sludge removal that promises to help WWTP and aquaculture operators in every part of the globe. Bionetix® is thrilled to be part of this breakthrough that only awaits greater awareness to transform the global approach to wastewater and aquaculture lagoon management.
