Grease Treat (GT)

Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are a leading cause of blockages, odors, and pump failures in grease traps, lift stations, and wastewater systems. Low pH, oxygen-limited zones, and heavy grease loads overwhelm conventional treatment biology, driving higher hauling, energy, and chemical costs.

Grease Treat (GT) is a high-CFU, spore-forming Bacillus blend engineered for reliable grease and oil waste treatment in grease traps, lift stations, and wastewater systems. These facultative anaerobic bacteria perform in aerobic, anoxic, and oxygen-limited pockets typical of wet wells, force mains, and trap interiors, ensuring treatment across variable conditions. Strains are selected for high lipase and esterase output, strong biosurfactant secretion that improves emulsification and bioavailability, and the ability to digest volatile fatty acids (VFAs). By digesting volatile fatty acids (VFAs), GT controls odors at the source and limits the conditions that fuel sulfate-reducing bacteria responsible for hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and corrosion.

As specialized grease trap bacteria and lift station bacteria, GT speeds FOG removal, stabilizes solids handling, lowers aeration demand, and reduces sludge yield. The result is cleaner equipment, fewer odor complaints, and a more resilient plant across variable load and flow.

Applications

• Grease Traps and Interceptors: restaurants, commercial kitchens, cafeterias, food courts, and food processors
• Lift Stations and Collection Systems: wet wells, pump stations, force mains, and downstream lines with FOG carryover
• Wastewater Treatment Units: headworks, equalization basins, aeration tanks, clarifiers, DAF/IGF units, and sludge handling
• Industrial Wastewater: meat, protein, rendering, dairy, beverage, brewery, and distillery operations
• Odor and Corrosion Hotspots: H₂S mitigation in traps, lift stations, and headworks exposed to VFAs and SRB activity
• Problematic Drain Lines: recurring FOG accumulations where biological maintenance is required

Accelerates FOG Breakdown

The FOG treatment bacteria in GT are chosen for their rapid and reliable fats, oils, and grease degradation.

• High lipase and esterase activity for fast hydrolysis of grease deposits
• Biosurfactants enhance emulsification and microbial access
• VFA digestion disrupts H₂S pathways and short-chain acid odors
• Proven grease trap cleaning bacteria performance in food service applications or lift station FOG control in municipal systems

Stabilizes Operations

GT oil and grease degrading bacteria strengthen system stability and reduce grease-related upsets.  Operational stability is enhanced whether applying GT as wastewater bacteria for FOG, grease trap treatment bacteria or as a biological lift station treatment.

• Consistent FOG digestion supports stable flows and prevents backups
• Improves floc formation and settling for clearer effluent
• Provides reliable bioaugmentation for FOG during load swings and peak demand
• Supports long-term, effective FOG reduction in wastewater

Odor and Corrosion Reduction

Our grease trap treatment bacteria are proven to reduce odor and corrosion risks in FOG-heavy systems. They are equally effective for lift station odor control and biological lift station treatment.

• Eliminates VFAs, hydrogen sulfide, and mercaptans at the source
• Reduces nuisance odors in grease traps, lift stations, and headworks
• Limits corrosion in collection systems, pumps, and infrastructure

Efficiency and Cost Benefits

Better oil and grease removal in lift stations, grease traps and wastewater means leaner, lower-cost operations.

• Reduces aeration demand and blower energy consumption
• Decreases sludge yield and hauling costs
• Cuts chemical use for dewatering, flocculation, and odor masking
• Extends asset life by reducing grease-related damage and corrosion
