Grease Treat (GT) is a professional-grade microbial blend designed for reliable fats, oils, and grease (FOG) removal in grease traps, lift stations, and wastewater systems. It contains high-CFU facultative anaerobic bacteria that thrive in low-pH, high-FOG environments where conventional wastewater microbes lose effectiveness.
GT strains are selected for high lipase and esterase activity and strong biosurfactant production, ensuring superior emulsification and faster FOG digestion. The formulation also digests volatile fatty acids (VFAs), reducing odors and limiting the food supply that drives hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and corrosion. These specialized microbes deliver consistent performance across food service, municipal, and industrial wastewater systems.
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.
The FOG treatment bacteria in GT are chosen for their rapid and reliable fats, oils, and grease degradation.
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.
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.
Better oil and grease removal in lift stations, grease traps and wastewater means leaner, lower-cost operations.

Application Guidelines:
Powder (using 50B CFU/g)
Notes: 1) best to start treatment after a clean out has occurred 2) apply product to furthest upstream location of the challenged location during periods of low flow 3) avoid dosing when hot water and sanitizer lines are in use 4) for high loading or if considerably fouled before treatment start, consider higher than recommended dosing.
Grease Interceptors:
Blocks
One 900g (2lb) block typically treats ~1,500m3 (1.5 million liters) of water and slowly dissolves over ~30 days. Dissolve rate fluctuates with water temperature and flow rate.
Tabs
One 85g (3oz) tab typically treats ~150m3 (150,000 liters) of water and slowly dissolves over ~30 days. Dissolve rate fluctuates with water temperature and flow rate.

Usage rates vary. Reference dose:
A: Grease Treat (GT) is a high-CFU microbial blend designed for fats, oils, and grease (FOG) treatment in grease traps, lift stations, and wastewater systems. It contains 100% facultative anaerobic microbes that thrive in the low-pH, oxygen-limited conditions where conventional products fail. GT strains produce lipase and esterase enzymes, as well as biosurfactants, to accelerate FOG breakdown and reduce odors.
A: Standard wastewater blends are not optimized for heavy oil and grease loads and often lose effectiveness in acidic, low-oxygen conditions common to grease traps and lift stations. GT was specifically formulated for FOG-heavy environments, with strains that target grease, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and odor-causing compounds to deliver reliable results.
A: GT supports key biological processes that keep grease systems stable:Rapid FOG digestion through high lipase and esterase activityBiosurfactant production for improved emulsification and bioavailabilityVFA digestion to cut odors and limit hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) generationStrong facultative anaerobic performance under both aerobic and anoxic conditions
A: Yes. By breaking down VFAs and depriving sulfate-reducing bacteria of their food source, GT reduces hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, ammonia, and amines. This lowers odor complaints and helps prevent corrosion in collection systems, wet wells, and grease traps.
A: GT improves biological efficiency, reducing the need for frequent pumping, chemical dosing, and odor control measures. It also lowers aeration demand, reduces sludge yield, and minimizes maintenance caused by grease-related blockages and corrosion.
A: Yes. GT is effective in municipal lift stations, sewer collection systems, and headworks, as well as in industrial wastewater streams impacted by grease, such as food processing, slaughterhouse, rendering, dairy, and beverage facilities.
A: Absolutely. GT was formulated for food service environments where grease traps often clog and generate odors. Its specialized bacteria digest FOG efficiently, keeping traps cleaner and reducing the frequency of pumping and maintenance.
A: Yes. GT contains 100% facultative anaerobes, which means it functions effectively in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-limited environments typical of grease traps, lift stations, and downstream collection systems.
A: Yes. GT contains specialized microbes that continuously digest fats, oils, and grease, preventing buildup that causes clogs and backups. By acting as a biological grease trap solution, GT reduces emergency pumping and keeps systems functioning smoothly.
A: GT can be applied as a biological aid for FOG-related drain blockages. The bacteria target accumulated grease deposits in drain lines, restoring flow and reducing the need for harsh chemicals or costly mechanical cleaning.
A: GT functions as a preventative treatment, breaking down grease before it solidifies and accumulates. Regular use provides odor control, reduces pumping frequency, keeps traps cleaner, and lowers overall service costs.
A: Yes. GT includes strains designed for lift station grease reduction, making it effective for wet wells, pumps, and force mains. As a maintenance tool, it reduces accumulation, prevents clogging, and minimizes downtime.
A: Absolutely. GT is formulated to digest volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and limit hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) generation. This biological process reduces nuisance odors while protecting infrastructure from corrosion.
A: Yes. By degrading grease at the source, GT acts as a lift station clog prevention treatment. This reduces pump failures, extends equipment life, and stabilizes wastewater flow through the collection system.
A: GT can be supplied in a variety of dosing options:Powder: 22 lb (10 kg) and 44 lb (20 kg) pails, 340 lb (155 kg) drumsLiquid: quarts, liters, gallons, and 55-gallon (208 L) drumsBlocks: slow-release blocks for lift stations, grease traps, and wet wellsTablets: easy-to-dose formats for drains, traps, and smaller systems
A: Yes, they provide a steady release of microbes, maintaining consistent FOG digestion and odor control over time.
A: Place them directly in grease traps, lift stations, or areas of grease accumulation with good water circulation. Positioning near inlets, pumps, or areas with turbulence ensures even microbial distribution.
