Normal Grease
Trap |
Common Conditions
inside most grease traps: |
|
-
The
level of dissolved oxygen within the traps is very, very low
Very slow acting anaerobic metabolic activity
The ineffectiveness of aerobic microorganisms and enzymes
injected into the system to breakdown the waste materials
-
The
ph in most traps is very low (acidic)
A byproduct of anaerobic metabolism
-
The
bio availability of organic material is low
A result of the natural separation of material
within the trap
-
Strong
unpleasant odors
Another result of the anaerobic conditions

Ongoing
costs associated with normal grease trap operation |
- Pumping
costs, to clean the trap on a regular periodic basis
- Surcharges
may be assessed by the city for release of excess organic
material into the sewer system
- Dirty
traps create drain blockages and backups in the kitchen
- Back-ups
cost time and money to fix
- Grease
traps smell awful, customers and employees may be wary of
such unpleasant smells

Optimized Conditions
inside the grease trap: |
|
-
By
putting a continuous flow of fresh oxygen into the trap,
conditions change dramatically
Natural
aerobic organisms begin to thrive
The metabolic breakdown of organic materials proceeds very rapidly
As
anaerobic activity ceases, foul odors and acidic conditions are reduced
-
The
turbulence created by the aeration in the first chamber
Keeps
the contents mixed and available for digestion
Helps to break food into small particles
Mixes dissolved oxygen and food to enhance the natural processes
|
The
results are clear:
- Pumping
costs are reduced
The need to pump is
reduced
- Plumbing
maintenance costs are reduced
Blockages and back-ups resulting from
full traps are avoided
- Customers
and staff are happier
Foul smells are significantly reduced
- Surcharge
costs are reduced
Wastewater entering the sewer is cleaner,
putting less burden on the municipal system
