Expensive pump-outs
At least every three months — fortnightly or monthly for high-volume kitchens, where maintenance can reach several thousand dollars a month.

Spending too much on grease trap management?
EnTech360's bio-enzyme drain care program digests fats, oils and grease at the source — cutting pump-out costs, clearing odours, and keeping your Brisbane kitchen compliant.
The Problem
Grease trap management isn’t optional — but the old way is costing you
Quarterly pump-outs, odours that reach the dining room, blocked drains that stop service, and a council that expects proof you’re managing it. Here’s what the reactive model really costs.
Blocked drains
Fats, oils, grease, food solids and soap film congeal in your lines, stopping service and forcing emergency call-outs.
Foul odours
Volatile fatty acids and hydrogen sulfide build in the trap and travel back up the drains, damaging the customer experience.
Compliance pressure
Every venue must run a grease trap by law, and water authorities scrutinise food-service wastewater more closely every year.
How the Program Works
Three steps to a cleaner trap, clearer drains and lower running costs
01
Clean & prepare
Where needed, our plumbing partner Yates Plumbing & Gas jet-rods and clears your existing drain lines, so the program starts on a clean slate.
02
Install the dosing unit
We install a dosing unit that delivers a measured dose of bio-enzyme product into the drain lines upstream of your grease trap — set-and-forget, sized to your kitchen.
03
Dose daily — OPEN, then MAINTAIN
We run OPEN first as a shock treatment to clear built-up grease, then switch to MAINTAIN for ongoing daily dosing. Bacteria release enzymes that digest grease into water and CO₂ — nature’s way, only faster.

Field-Study Results
Measured reductions from a year-long field study
On a 5,000-litre grease trap dosed with bio-enzyme product at 600 ml per day, an independent year-long study measured the change in wastewater load.
33%
Reduction in oil & grease
69%
Reduction in BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
88%
Reduction in TSS (total suspended solids)
These are field-study results from a single year-long study — not a guaranteed outcome for every site. Nuisance odours from volatile fatty acids and hydrogen sulfide were also significantly reduced, and the cleaned lateral drain line showed no fats-oils-and-grease build-up during treatment. Your results depend on your trap size, kitchen load and dosing program.
Meet OPEN & MAINTAIN
Two products, one simple workflow
The program runs on two companion bio-enzyme products from the BioEnzymes range — both biological, enzyme-based and Australian-made, with water and CO₂ as the only by-products.

Proven in the Field
“I cannot recommend the products ‘Open’ and ‘Maintain’ highly enough. They certainly worked in our case. After roughly 16 months of chronic sewer blockages, an institutional kitchen switched to OPEN and MAINTAIN and reported no blocked sewer lines for several months, with the odour cleared.
This is a historical product testimonial (Queensland Corrective Services Academy, Wacol, 2008), addressed to a product reseller. It reflects results with the OPEN and MAINTAIN products and is not a current EnTech360 accreditation or government contract.
Grease Trap Audits & Compliance
Need to prove you’re compliant?
Councils require periodic inspection, pump-out and record-keeping for your grease arrestor. Our council-format audit delivers a completed statutory inspection record, an itemised condition and defect report, and a photo-and-barcode evidence pack.
