Restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals and other commercial or industrial cooking operations are prohibited from discharging fats, oils and greases (FOGs) from their kitchens directly to city sewage systems. Grease traps up to 2,000 gallons are used to intercept and settle grease from these facilities allowing only the grey water or effluent to flow into the city wastewater system.
If not well-maintained, large amounts of FOGs from commercial cooking facilities will not only enter into city sewage systems, but will also clog downstream drain pipes and septic systems, creating odor problems.
To ensure grease traps are functioning properly, they must be pumped or cleaned on a regular schedule. This is both time-consuming and costly. In addition, hundreds of pounds of grease (considered hazardous waste by many cities) per year per restaurant end up in landfills.
MICROBIAL GREASE TRAP TREATMENT PRODUCTS MADE IN THE U.S.
QB Labs' industrial strength grease trap and drain treatment products are bacteria-based, non-chemical, environmentally friendly and cost effective solutions that naturally digest fats, oils, and greases keeping grease traps clean and operating effectively. We use a select, proprietary blend of beneficial microbes and enzymes to specifically target and accelerate the degradation of fats, oils and greases produced by cooking operations.
Our U.S.-made microbial solutions naturally improve flow, eliminate odors, extend time between pump outs, and help prevent grease run off to city sewage systems.
Our grease trap and drain bacteria have been used for over 20 years both domestically and internationally. We offer wholesale natural treatments in bulk and concentrate. We also serve as a co-packer and offer private label products with your branding and logo. Contact us today to learn more.

Standard Specifications
Our standard specifications are below. Additional custom specification and configurations are available on request.
Targeted substrate: Fats, oils and greases from cooking operations.
Bacteria Count: 1B or 5B CFU/gram is standard. Also available in custom concentrations.
Performance Properties: pH 4.0 – 11.0; temperature range 45 – 120 degrees F (5 – 50 degrees C)
Packaging: 25 pound and 50 pound containers are standard. Other package and container sizing is dependent on final order.
Forms:
Powder or liquid form
Dissolvable packets (1oz, 2oz, 4oz, 8oz, 16 oz)
Tablets and blocks (varying sizes from 3 grams to 30 pounds)
Shelf Life: 24 months if kept dry and stored in the original, unopened container.
Standard Properties: Tan / off white, water soluble powder, salt carrier, earthy odor.
Application Rate: Although powders, liquids or packets work well, blocks are a common way to continuously clean your grease trap. Blocks will typically last 30 – 90 days inside the grease trap. This will vary depending on your specific environment. The following is a standard dosing guideline for our grease trap blocks:
15 – 35 gallon trap: 2 pound block
50 – 250 gallon trap: 5 pound block
250 – 500 gallon trap: 10 pound block
1000 – 2000 gallon trap: 30 pound block
