Two starting points
EnviroZyme, as its website describes it (September 2026), custom ferments, formulates, blends and packages bacterial products for wastewater use, sold under names including BioRemove AM for nitrification and ammonia removal, BioRemove COD and BioRemove COD SF for COD and BOD reduction, BioRemove FOG and BioRemove FOG Boost for fat, oil and grease control, Rapid Release FOG Block for grease traps, lift stations and sewer lines, OdorCap 5700 and OdorCap 5115 for odor control, BG Max 3000 for anaerobic and biogas performance, and BioQuick 5140 for activated-sludge start-up and upset recovery, plus contract fermentation that supplies its own bacterial strains as raw material for other companies to formulate into their own products.
We start from a different point. DRP Accelerator is an inorganic compound that carries usable oxygen to the bacteria already living in your wastewater, and we add no bacteria and no enzymes of our own. Give those bacteria oxygen and they stop stripping it from sulfate, so hydrogen sulfide is not formed, and the same bacteria go on to digest the fats, oils, grease and sludge that anaerobic conditions leave alone.
Four things decide which approach fits your system: what each one adds to the water, when it acts relative to the moment H2S forms, what stays behind once it has worked, and what it costs to run in capital and handling terms.
At a glance
| Factor | DRP Accelerator | EnviroZyme |
|---|---|---|
| What is added | No bacteria and no enzymes; usable oxygen for the bacteria already in the wastewater | Bacterial blends custom fermented and formulated for a specific job, as its website describes them |
| When it acts | Before hydrogen sulfide forms, since the native bacteria stop drawing oxygen from sulfate once oxygen is available | After dosing, once and if the added culture establishes |
| What stays downstream | Nothing; consumed as bacteria use its oxygen, no chemical additives left behind | Its Rapid Release FOG Block is formulated with surfactants and binders that dissolve to release the bacterial blend, as its website describes it |
| Where it reaches | As far upstream as water and power allow (AerobicShift) | Wherever the product is dosed, poured or set in place, as its website describes its delivery |
| FOG and sludge | Digested by the same aerobic bacteria that stop H2S from forming | Addressed by named products such as BioRemove FOG and Rapid Release FOG Block, as its website describes them |
| Capital and handling | No capital purchase, a monthly service we run | Product cost, sold through a sales team and distributor network, as its website describes its sales channel |
| How it is measured | Baseline and follow-up readings as part of the service | Technical consulting that includes microscopic analysis of the microbial community, as its website describes it |
| Markets it names | Municipal, agriculture, oil and gas, and residential systems | Agriculture, municipal, and septic, mobile and remote applications, among others, as its website describes them |

That table is most of the decision. If it already reads your way, contact us and we will show you the program on your own system.
Where DRP Accelerator is the stronger choice
- No added organisms, and no lab work to keep them alive. EnviroZyme’s blends are custom fermented cultures added from outside the system, so there is a new culture that has to establish itself, compete with the native population, or wash out of a flowing lift station or force main before it does any work. Adding bacteria properly also takes lab work to evaluate what is already present, an analysis that is costly and has to be repeated as a regular part of the program; what is often seen instead is that it works at first, the lab work rarely happens, and the added culture dies off or has little or no effect. DRP Accelerator puts nothing living into the water: it gives the bacteria already there usable oxygen instead. We only add oxygen: think of it as supercharging your bacteria, and it works continuously. Our bacteria growth test measured that difference directly.
- Prevention, not another formulated product added to the mix. EnviroZyme’s named products, BioRemove AM, BioRemove COD and the rest, are each built to treat a specific symptom once it exists. DRP Accelerator changes the condition that creates the symptom: with oxygen available, the bacteria already on site stop drawing it from sulfate, so hydrogen sulfide is not formed in the first place.
- FOG and sludge digested by bacteria that are already there. EnviroZyme answers grease with its own named products, BioRemove FOG and Rapid Release FOG Block. The same oxygen we add supports the aerobic bacteria already living in your system as they break down fats, oils and grease and organic solids, one program addressing both the gas and the grease because they share the same root cause.
- Upstream reach a poured, pouched or dropped product does not get to. We dose as far upstream as water and power allow, what we call AerobicShift, at a lift station, a headworks channel or the pond itself. A liquid concentrate, a powder, a pouch or a dissolving block only reaches the point where it is set in place, so a sewer line between that point and the plant keeps running anaerobic the whole way.
- No capital purchase, a monthly service we run and measure. There is no product catalog to stock, order and reorder against a sales team’s schedule. We review the site, set a dosing point, and take baseline and follow-up readings as part of the service, the kind of record a case study can point back to.
- Works whether the water is anaerobic or aerobic already. A wet well, a force main and a lagoon surface are different environments, and DRP Accelerator supplies oxygen in all of them. A fermented strain formulated for one job, an ammonia upset, a grease trap, an odor complaint, does not automatically perform outside the use it was built for.
Where EnviroZyme has the edge
- A plant recovering from an ammonia or nitrification upset. EnviroZyme’s BioRemove AM is built specifically around ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria strains rather than a general-purpose culture, as its website describes it.
- A grease trap or lift station with no room for dosing equipment. Rapid Release FOG Block is formulated to sit in place and dissolve on its own, a passive, low-turbulence option EnviroZyme markets for exactly that setting.
- A buyer who wants one manufacturer’s catalog and a distributor relationship. EnviroZyme sells a broad line, technical consulting that includes microscopic analysis of the microbial community, and contract fermentation, through an expanding sales team and distributor network, as its website describes it.
Where DRP Accelerator pulls ahead is everywhere the problem is not a missing strain but an oxygen shortage: a lift station, a force main or a lagoon where the water itself, not a narrow upset, is what needs to change.
Already running EnviroZyme? Add DRP Accelerator upstream
Nothing has to come out before DRP Accelerator goes in. We dose it upstream of whatever EnviroZyme product is already running, set a baseline against your own readings, and measure from there. The bacteria already on site get oxygen they were not getting before, hydrogen sulfide has less sulfate to draw from, and the added product downstream has less work left to do.
We review your current data, work out flow and volume, and survey the site for a delivery point as far upstream of the existing product as water and power allow. EnviroZyme’s product keeps working exactly as it did, only against a smaller problem, and the readings tell us and you whether the balance is shifting.
Many sites reduce how often they dose it, or retire it, once the readings hold; some keep both running because the site calls for it either way, and that decision stays yours, made against your own numbers rather than a label’s schedule. Gas monitors and confined-space procedures stay exactly as they are: adding usable oxygen upstream does not change what a wet well or a lift station needs for safe entry.
How to decide
- Find where the oxygen runs out. A wet well, a force main or a lagoon bottom that has been anaerobic long enough to smell is the point worth treating first, whichever product ends up doing it. Walk the system and mark every point where dissolved oxygen is gone before deciding what goes where.
- Ask what each product adds and what stays. EnviroZyme’s blends add fermented organisms; DRP Accelerator adds oxygen and is consumed as the bacteria use it. Ask what, if anything, is left behind once the job is done, and ask to see it in writing rather than take a label’s word for it.
- Ask what happens to FOG and sludge. Odor control and grease and solids reduction are not automatically the same product; ask directly whether the one in front of you does both, or whether a second named product and a second dosing point will be needed later.
- Ask what it costs in capital and handling, and how the result is measured. A product catalog and a distributor relationship are one kind of cost; a monthly service with no capital purchase is another. Ask how each vendor proposes to show the result, not just promise it, and how often that result gets checked once the program is running.
Ask both vendors for the same page
Ask EnviroZyme and ask us the same four questions above, on the same page, and compare the answers side by side. We will show you the dosing point we would use on your system, the baseline we would take before starting, and the readings we would bring back afterward, the same program we run for every customer.
Contact us and we will walk through it on your own site, not a demonstration tank. We say all of this in public because it is true whether you buy from us or not.
