Chemtech Bio-Block
Bio-Block
Chemtech Bio-Block is a unique microbe-laden solid that slowly releases bacteria into wastewater and effluent handling facilities such as lift stations, wet wells, etc. Multiple beneficial bacteria are compressed in high-density ratios for digestion of stubborn organic waste of different composition.
Bio-Block comes in the form of bricks that gradually dissolve over a 30 to 90-day period. This allows for continuous and constant wastewater treatment and sludge removal. The naturally-occurring bacteria contained in the block reduces sludge, fats, oils, and grease buildup, as well as bring down odors.

Safe, Natural Product
Chemtech Bio-Block is a chemical-free, microbe-based product that breaks down sludge, fat & grease buildup at effluent handling facilities. It also helps in reducing Total suspended solids (TSS) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels in your water systems.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly, & Economical Solution
In industrial and municipal wastewater and sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, septic tanks, and grease traps, Chemtech’s Microbial Products are an effective, environmentally friendly, and economical solution used for the digestion of fats, oils, and grease, as well as the control and reduction of a wide range of odorous compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and ammonia, and their resulting corrosive effects.
What's in our product?
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain powerful bacteria and enzymes that act as organic catalysts to accelerate degradation of many organic polymers, including fats, proteins, plant carbohydrates, and certain types of solid materials.
Improves Efficiency
Microbe formulations effectively reduce treatment surcharges as well as frequency and severity of plant upsets, and remove specific waste compounds at higher rates. This ultimately improves the efficiency of treatment systems to produce higher quality effluents, helping to minimize operational costs and ensuring compliance with municipal and state regulations.
Safe for Personnel to handle
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain high numbers of naturally occurring bacteria that are effective for a wide range of degradation and treatment applications, and are safe for your facilities and personnel to handle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chemtech Bio-Block and how does it work?
Bio-Block is a solidified brick that contains a high density (more than 5 billion CFU per gram) of Bacillus spores. It dissolves slowly in wastewater and releases bacteria continuously. The bacteria digest stubborn organic waste, which reduces sludge, fats, oils and grease (FOG) buildup and brings down odor-causing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.
Where can Bio-Block be used?
Chemtech Bio-Block is designed for organic waste in high-flow wastewater systems such as lift stations, wet wells, holding tanks, waste pumps, oxidation ditches, activated sludge systems and lagoons.
How much Bio-Block do I need for my system?
The dose depends on your daily flow:
- 25 to 75 thousand gallons/day: 2 lb block
- 75 to 250 thousand gallons/day: 5 lb block
- 250 to 1,000 thousand gallons/day: 10 lb block
Chemtech’s downloadable catalog has full details, and the sales team can help size larger or unusual systems.
How long does a Bio-Block last, and how often should I replace it?
Each block dissolves gradually over 30 to 90 days, providing continuous treatment and sludge removal without daily dosing. Replace it after 30 to 90 days, depending on flow and conditions. It needs no special equipment and cuts the labor of repeated liquid dosing.
Is this product safe to handle?
Yes. All Chemtech’s products contain naturally-occurring bacteria that can be completely washed off with soap and warm water after handling them.
