EcoBlock™ contains a high density of safe, natural bacteria that address challenging issues with hard-to-degrade organic waste. This unique block-form bacteria will gradually dissolve over a period of 35-120 days, breaking down the organic matter present in wastewater.
EcoBlock™ reduces odors, sludge, grease, oils, and fats buildup. This biological product offers more benefits compared to chemical products. It not only breaks down grease in drainage pipes, unclogs pipes, or addresses other issues in treatment facilities but also decomposes grease and organic matter at the source. The bacteria create a biofilm along the pipes, aiding in the breakdown of accumulated grease. As a result, it helps reduce maintenance costs, prevent clogs, and mitigate problems related to filamentous biomass in wastewater treatment plants.
Due to the diverse strains of microorganisms included in the product, EcoBlock™ is especially suitable for treating urban, industrial, and food processing wastewater with high levels of animal and plant fats. The high density of safe, natural bacteria effectively addresses challenging wastewater issues in a cost-effective manner.

Usage instructions
Grease traps, collection stations: Place EcoBlock™ into the treatment area, partially submerging it in the grease trap. The microbial block will gradually dissolve over 35-120 days, depending on the tank size, flow rate, and the amount of EcoBlock™ selected for treatment.
Storage and handling:
-
Storage: Keep in a dry, cool place.
-
Handling: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after use.
