Revolutionising Rail Pantry Hygiene:
How Biotic’s Enzyme-Based Solutions Transformed a Grease-Loaded Train Compartment
Introduction
In a first-of-its-kind railway sanitation initiative, Biotic Organic Solutions undertook the deep cleaning and restoration of a pantry compartment on an Indian Railways train operating on the Delhi–Chennai route. Known for its long journeys and heavy pantry use, the compartment had long suffered from poor sanitation, particularly due to grease buildup, oil trap issues, and embedded dirt. Biotic responded with its proprietary organic and enzyme-based sanitation solutions, bringing nature-powered hygiene to one of the toughest industrial spaces. A complete transformation video has been attached to this case study to showcase the visible and dramatic results achieved using zero chemicals
Key Challenges Faced
- Heavy grease accumulation in food preparation and storage areas
- Choked oil traps and drainage issues due to years of buildup
- Persistent foul odour in confined pantry spaces
- Extremely dirty, slippery surfaces creating safety and hygiene hazards
- Limited ventilation and confined working space during cleaning operations
- Incompatibility of conventional chemical cleaners with the train’s stainless steel and utility fittings
Biotic’s Organic Solution
Biotic deployed a targeted combination of its enzyme-based cleaning innovations:
- Biotic’s N-Degreaser was used to break down thick grease and oil on kitchen surfaces, walls, and equipment without corroding steel or emitting harmful fumes.
- Biotic’s Greasetrap Cleaner tackled the long-clogged grease traps by digesting organic waste, oils, and fat deposits using live enzyme cultures.
- Biotic’s NZYME WT addressed wastewater odour and organic buildup in drainage lines and traps, ensuring smoother flow and reduced bacterial growth.
- Biotic’s Housekeeping Range, including floor cleaners and surface sanitizers, ensured total hygiene post-degreasing, leaving the space fresh, clean, and safe for use — all with eco-friendly formulations.
Results
The results were nothing short of remarkable. As clearly shown in the attached video, the pantry compartment was fully restored to a hygienic, odour-free, and visibly clean state, with all grease, oil stains, and organic waste completely removed. Not only did the space look revitalised, but it also became healthier, safer, and ready for daily use — all achieved using 100% natural, enzyme-based, and biodegradable products, proving Biotic’s capacity to lead the change in industrial sanitation, even in high-challenge sectors like Indian Railways.
