AP Tech Bioaugmentation
Developed as part of AP Tech Group’s mission to connect people with water solutions through responsible chemistry and innovation, our bioaugmentation products offer reliable performance with engineered precision. AP Tech manufactures practical biological solutions that seamlessly integrate into everyday industrial maintenance, helping you stay clean, compliant, and efficient.
Our bioaugmentation products actively break down fats, oils, and grease (FOG), eliminate odor-causing compounds, and maintain uninterrupted drain performance. They utilize high-performance Bacillus-based technology specifically designed for complex commercial and industrial waste systems.
MEET BIOTEQ
Keep drains flowing, cut odors, and prevent costly emergency calls with bioTEQ – our specialized, solid-block, bacteria-based solution engineered to outperform traditional liquid treatments in demanding commercial and industrial environments.
bioTEQ-DT combines powerful Bacillus-based bacteria with a built-in cleaning agent. When used with an enduroTEQ dispenser, it provides consistent, automated dosing that continuously breaks down organic buildup and fats, oil, and grease (FOG.)
The Power of Bacillus-Based Science + Solid Innovation
FOAM + BACTERIA + OXYGEN = SUPERIOR RESULTS
Unlike standard chemicals that simply flush through the system, bioTEQ uses an enduroTEQ dispenser and foaming action to provide comprehensive protection.
360° FOAM COVERAGE
360° FOAM COVERAGE
Foaming action expands to coat the entire inner circumference of the pipe, reaching the “ceiling” and sides where organic buildup and larvae often hide.
STRONG BACTERIA
STRONG
BACTERIA
Powerful Bacillus bacteria, formulated with a surfactant, provide active cleaning and resilience across a wide range of pH and temperatures.
AERATION
AERATION
Foaming action introduces oxygen into the drain environment, supercharging bacterial growth and significantly increasing the ability to digest organic waste.
SUPERIOR DOSING
SUPERIOR DOSING
A single, 5-minute automated dose creates a high-volume foam that travels and treats up to 50 feet of piping – far beyond traditional liquid treatments. System delivery of 0.7 gal/min of product solution.
Key Benefits
- ENGINEERED PERFORMANCE
- 360° Pipe Coverage: Our unique foaming action coats the full circumference of the pipe, not just the bottom.
- Superior Dosing: A single 5-minute dose treats up to 50 feet of piping – nearly 100x the reach of liquid systems.
- Advanced Bacillus Science: Formulated with resilient bacteria and surfactants that thrive in diverse pH levels and temperatures to actively break down FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease).
- HEALTH, HYGIENE & SAFETY
Eliminate Odors & Pests: Destroys the organic “sludge” where drain flies breed and removes foul smells at the source.
Sustainable Chemistry: 100% safe for all piping materials, staff, and the environment. No hazardous splashing or harsh chemicals.
Ergonomic Handling: Solid blocks are 80% lighter than liquid pails, reducing the risk of strain and minimizing packaging waste.
- COST CONTROL & EFFICIENCY
Preventative Savings: Minimizes expensive emergency plumbing calls and reduces the frequency of grease trap pump-outs.
Set-and-Forget Reliability: Each block provides 30 to 90 days of automated, consistent treatment with minimal operator effort.
DISPENSING
Patent-Pending Dispenser
Engineered to deliver the right dose at the right time, the patent-pending bioTEQ Dispenser ensures consistent product application and optimal results with minimal operator effort.
LOW MAINTENANCE

FAQ
What is bioaugmentation and how does it improve drain maintenance?
Bioaugmentation is the practice of introducing target-specific, live bacterial cultures into a wastewater system to accelerate the natural breakdown of organic waste like fats, oils, and grease (FOG).
How is bioTEQ different from traditional liquid bacteria treatments?
While traditional chemical cleaners only temporarily push clogs further down the line, bioaugmentation establishes a living ecosystem inside your plumbing. The AP Tech Bioaugmentation process transforms drain maintenance from a reactive emergency into a continuous, automated solution:
Biological Digestion: The specialized Bacillus bacteria continuously feed on grease and organic “sludge,” converting complex waste into harmless water and carbon dioxide.
Long-Term Prevention: By adhering to pipe walls, these microbial colonies form a protective biofilm that prevents new grease from sticking, keeping lines clear over time.
Eco-Friendly Efficiency: This method completely eliminates the need for harsh, corrosive chemicals, protecting your infrastructure, kitchen staff, and downstream environment.
Is bioTEQ safe for commercial kitchen plumbing and grease traps?
Yes, bioTEQ is safe for all commercial plumbing infrastructure, grease traps, and municipal wastewater systems because it contains no corrosive acids, heavy caustics, or hazardous chemicals.
Unlike traditional chemical drain openers that generate intense heat and can warp PVC or degrade metal pipes, bioTEQ relies entirely on sustainable, bio-based science. It actively protects and enhances your commercial kitchen operations by ensuring:
Zero Infrastructure Damage: The formula is completely non-corrosive, making it safe for copper, PVC, iron, and specialized commercial fittings.
Enhanced Grease Trap Performance: Rather than just flushing grease downstream to cause municipal fines, the bacteria begin pre-digesting FOG before it even hits the trap, significantly reducing pump-out frequencies.
Improved Workplace Safety: The solid block design eliminates the risk of chemical splashes, fumes, or heavy liquid handling, keeping kitchen and maintenance staff safe.
How often do bioTEQ solid blocks need to be replaced?
On average, bioTEQ solid blocks need to be replaced every 30 to 90 days, depending entirely on your specific facility’s water volume, drain usage, and dispenser programming.
Simple 4-Step Application
Assess: Identify key drains and organic buildup problem areas.
Install: Set up the bioTEQ Dispenser and load the solid block.
Optimize: Easily adjust dosing parameters for your specific environment.
Maintain: Simply replace the blocks every 30–90 days (approximately) for continuous protection.
