ENVIA Essential is a ready-to-use enzymatic concentrate designed to help food service, food processing and waste processing facilities manage organic buildup in hard-water drain and disposal systems. The three-enzyme formula targets the breakdown of fats, proteins, and starch residues, which contribute to the formation and stabilization of hard-water deposits, helping loosen accumulated buildup during routine drain or grease trap maintenance. When hard water is present, high volumes of organic residues bind together with minerals such as calcium and magnesium, forming a tough complex of solids that block the system.

Enzymes present a preferable alternative to harsh acid cleaners or cumbersome, expensive mechanical methods of scale removal. The three enzymes of ENVIA Essential —protease, amylase and lipase, target three types of food waste deposits commonly found in grease traps and restaurant drains, working synergistically to degrade organic residues that bind together with minerals and create large blockages. This breakdown loosens the scale structure, making it easier to remove buildup via the normal drainage flow.
Scale is inevitable in systems with hard water, but it does not have to be debilitating. With routine application of ENVIA Essential to grease traps, industrial floor drains, lift stations, and sewer pipes, restaurants and commercial kitchens can clear out the organic waste that aggravates scale buildup—keeping an annoying problem from becoming serious. — Bionetix International, a subsidiary of Cortec Corp., Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Queb., Canada
