ACO Biological Grease Traps The need for fat, oil and grease management Local effects of fats, oils and grease (FOG’s) One of the greatest drainage problems faced in kitchens and food processing areas is the accumulation of fats, oils and greases within the drainage system. Reduced efficiency Cooking plant Potential flooding Process plant Note: As FOG’s cool in the drainage system they can solidify. If untreated, accumulation eventually leads to drainage system failure leading to health hazards within the food preparation area. Combined output Regional effects Drainage infrastructure...

ACO Biological Grease Traps System and process Overview All ACO Building Drainage biological present in the drain waste. It is important to grease traps work on the same principles: note that the sediment basket volume is a biological activator is periodically injected limited, therefore any significant amounts of Separation occurs relatively quickly, thereby into the connecting drainage pipe upstream debris should be removed before entering the allowing less contaminated water to flow to grease trap. the outlet drain during periods of intense use. The mixture of contaminated water and The...

ACO Biological Grease Traps System and process Biological activators Unlike strong acid or caustic drain cleaners, i) The activator introduces an enzyme that Biological activators will not digest solid ACO biological activator works safely, but assists the natural biological process of residues from the food preparation process more slowly. It can be used to unblock drains breaking down long molecular chain FOG’s quickly, so the sediment bucket requires and to replace aggressive caustic and acid into a manageable solution to then be periodic removal for cleaning to ensure discharged safely...
