NEW PRODUCT LINE — BIODEGRADABLE SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN TUNNELING OPERATIONS

The MF BioDry™ family was developed to support sustainable EPB muck conditioning, biodegradable spoil solidification, and reduced free-water. It is engineered for improved excavated material handling, improved hauling efficiency, and more sustainable spoil management practices while providing enhanced operational consistency and a lower environmental impact.

0.1% to 1%

Typical application rates

Up to 55%

Moisture handling

30% to 40%

Clay content optimized

Sustainable performance for modern infrastructure projects

The MF BioDry™ family was developed for tunneling contractors seeking:

Sustainable EPB operations

Biodegradable tunneling additives

Improved spoil handling performance

Reduced free-water release

Environmentally conscious muck conditioning

Improved excavated material management

More sustainable spoil management practices

Typical application rates generally range from approximately 0.1% to 1%, depending on moisture content, clay percentage, geology conditions, desired handling characteristics, and operational objectives.

The MF BioDry™ Family

Compared to BioDry™ 001, the 002 platform provides greater flexibility for projects requiring improved spoil handling consistency and broader moisture capability while maintaining biodegradable performance characteristics.

Engineering & Operational Considerations

Performance ranges and operational recommendations presented throughout this page are intended to support simplified product selection for typical EPB tunneling environments.

Project-specific geology, mineralogy, moisture conditions, clay composition, operational objectives, and combined limiting factors may influence final product performance and achievable spoil handling characteristics.

In more challenging tunneling environments — including combinations of high moisture content, low clay percentage, elevated calcium content, or projects requiring stackable spoil performance — additional technical evaluation, mineralogical review, or bench-scale validation testing may be recommended by the MetaFLO technical team.

Performance validation requirements may vary depending on project conditions and desired operational outcomes.

Contact MetaFLO Technologies to discuss project-specific technical validation and conditioning recommendations.
