Bio tank
Biological solution for grease and septic tank management.
It is a state-of-the-art biological product designed specifically for the elimination of animal, vegetable and mineral fats, which accumulate in grease containers in the agri-food industry and in large septic tanks. This product, based on cultures of microorganisms, enzymes and nutrients, has a high capacity to liquefy and digest fats, which allows waste disposal systems to be kept clean and prevents blockages and bad odours. The dosage is adapted to the needs of each system, either for seeding or for maintenance dosage. For grease traps in the food industry, a dosage of 50 g/m³ minimum is recommended for seeding and 5 g/m³/day for maintenance dosage. For large septic tanks, the dosage is determined according to the volume of the tank and is administered daily for the first five days, and from the sixth day onwards, the dosage is reduced to achieve a continuous and sustainable effect. The mode of use is very simple. For the agri-food industry, it is recommended to add it after the working day. In the case of large septic tanks, it should be administered daily in the recommended amount, following the dosage guidelines according to the size of the tank. Its application is not only very easy, but also very effective, as its components are capable of eliminating grease quickly and sustainably. Bio Tank looks like a light brown powder and its composition based on micro-organisms, enzymes and nutrients is completely biological, which means that it is completely safe and environmentally friendly. In addition, its presentation in a 10 kg package makes it ideal for frequent use and for administration in waste disposal systems of any size.

Bio Tank is a biological powder product for septic tanks formulated with microorganisms, enzymes and nutrients that activate natural digestion of animal fats, vegetable and mineral residues. As a septic tank maintenance solution for regular use, it reduces waste accumulation, prevents blockages and minimises bad odours without damaging pipes or altering the biological balance of the system. Chlorine-free, caustic soda-free and phosphate-free, Bio Tank is the septic tank product that respects the environment.
Description
Bio Tank is a biological powder treatment designed for regular maintenance of septic tanks and wastewater reservoirs. Its formulation combines selected microorganisms, lipid-digesting, protein-digesting and cellulose-digesting enzymes, and nutrients that enhance natural digestion of accumulated organic matter: animal and vegetable fats, minerals, proteins and suspended solids. The result is a better balanced system, with less sludge accumulation, improved drainage and sustained reduction of malodorous compounds derived from anaerobic fermentation.
Bio Tank is formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim with a composition legislation and minimising impact on the aquatic environment. Its powder format facilitates dosing, storage and transport, and provides greater microorganism stability compared to equivalent liquid formulations.

Benefits for professional use
- Chlorine and caustic soda-free — the enzymatic-microbial formula acts naturally without corroding pipes, joints or tank components, extending the service life of the installation.
- Clean composition: phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free — respectful of the aquatic environment and compliant with European detergent legislation, suitable for installations with discharge to soil or water bodies.
- No perfume — does not interfere with the biological balance of the tank; indicated for sensitive installations or with effluent analytical control.
- Continuous action between applications — microorganisms establish and remain active, guaranteeing biological system maintenance and reducing sludge accumulation in the long term.
- Odour reduction through biological digestion — efficient organic matter degradation minimises malodorous compounds without resorting to chemical masking agents.
- Improved drainage — fat liquefaction facilitates water circulation and reduces the frequency of mechanical emptying, with consequent operational savings.
- High-stability powder format — easy to dose, store and transport; greater microorganism viability compared to liquid formats under extended storage conditions.
Main applications
- Single-family homes and residential developments: monthly preventative maintenance to extend tank service life, reduce emptying frequency and prevent blockages without need for technical intervention.
- Campsites and recreational areas: system stabilisation in facilities with seasonal and irregular use, where periodic microorganism input compensates for variations in organic load during peak season.
- Food industry: digestion of fatty residues of animal, vegetable and mineral origin generated in production processes, reducing load on settling ponds and secondary treatment systems.
- Rural communities and areas without sewerage networks: autonomous maintenance solution for installations without municipal sewerage connection, where tank management falls to the user or maintenance service.
- Service and maintenance companies: periodic treatment protocol to offer clients a preventative septic tank maintenance service without aggressive products, reducing incidents from blockages and odours.
Recommended sectors
- HoReCa — hotels, restaurants and cafés with industrial kitchens generating high fat load in separators and septic tanks; Bio Tank reduces odours in service areas and minimises emptying interventions.
- Service companies and facility management — septic tank maintenance protocol for clients with autonomous installations; reduces emptying frequency and blockage incidents in residential communities, sports facilities and corporate buildings off-grid.

Frequently asked questions
What is Bio Tank for?
Bio Tank is a biological powder product for septic tank maintenance. It provides microorganisms, enzymes and nutrients that reinforce natural digestion of fats, proteins and organic residues accumulated in the tank, reducing sludge, improving drainage and minimising bad odours.
Which sectors is it recommended for?
It is indicated for single-family homes and residential developments, campsites and recreational areas, food industry, rural communities without sewerage networks, hotels and restaurants with fat separators, and maintenance service companies that manage facilities with septic tanks.
Is it suitable for professional use?
Yes. Formulated by Detervic / Instaquim for professional environments, with technical support for authorised distributors and users. Technical sheet and safety data sheet available on request.
Where can I consult the technical sheet?
Available on this page. For exact dosages, action times or detailed operational information according to installation type, consult the technical document.
Is the safety sheet available?
Yes. The safety data sheet (SDS) is available for authorised customers and distributors on request from the sales department.
How can I request a quote or pricing?
Contact the sales team via form, WhatsApp or phone. We handle enquiries within 24 working hours.
Why should I not use chlorine-based products in a septic tank?
Chlorine and caustic soda destroy the beneficial microorganisms that break down organic matter inside the tank. Without this biological activity, sludge accumulates faster, drainage worsens and mechanical emptying becomes more frequent. Bio Tank, as it contains neither of these agents, preserves and reinforces this microbial balance.
