Drain Conditioning with BioBen®

BioBen® is the most effective microbial drain treatment available. This drain conditioner can negate some of the effects of drain clogging, and is completely natural. No soaps, no harsh chemicals, no premixing, no waiting. Just start the system and go. Simple, safe, and dependable.

Live vegetative bacteria are dispensed via the programmed auto- dispensing system. Once in the drain line and grease trap, these friendly organisms immediately begin consuming oil, grease, and other organic matter.

Emulsification of grease and oil is in violation of many local regulations. Unlike other products, BioBen® will not emulsify grease or oil. BioBen® literally consumes oil and grease and organic matter, converting it to carbon dioxide and water. BioBen® improves wastewater quality by reducing COD, BOD, and TSS contaminate levels.
