Bio-Blocks reduce odor, sludge, fats, oils and grease in your lift stations
FOG (fats, oil, and grease) from homes, restaurants, and other commercial and industrial facilities enters collection systems and accumulates in sewer lines and lift stations.
Sewer grease buildup in lift stations leads to clogging, reduced pump efficiency, increased maintenance, and foul odors.
Bio-Blocks break down FOG and other organic wastes that collect in lift stations. The high quality, high count beneficial bacteria in these solid blocks promote the natural degradation of organic materials. Bio-Blocks help support proper functioning, reduce the need for manual cleaning or maintenance, and improve the overall efficiency of the sewage system when used regularly in lift stations.
By simply suspending the environmentally friendly Bio-Blocks into the treatment area, you will maintain lift station efficiency by decreasing sewer grease buildup, saving time and money.

Using Bio-Blocks
Dosing Schedule:
| Flow Rate | Block Size | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 125,000 GPD | 5-lb | 1 block every one to three months |
| 125,001 to 775,000 GPD | 10-lb | 1 to 2 blocks every one to three months |
| 750,000 to 2 million GPD | 30-lb | 1 to 2 blocks every one to three months |
Do not add to the treatment system at a location where toxic or otherwise adverse pH, dissolved oxygen or temperature conditions may exist at peak levels.
For optimal results the wastewater and treatment system should meet the following conditions:
| Optimum | Minimum | |
|---|---|---|
| Influent pH | 7.0 | 5.0 |
| Dissolved oxygen, ppm | 2.0+ | 1.0+ |
| C/N/P ratio | 100/10/1 | 100/5/1 |
| Temperature | 30°C (86°F) | 10°C (50°F) |
| Toxic metals, ppm (E.g., hex., chromium) |
0 | 0 |
