Biological Grease Traps

Product catalog summary
Introduction
ACO Building Drainage, a division of ACO Technologies plc, specializes in high-performance drainage solutions aimed at minimizing design risks, reducing costs, and enhancing product performance through superior materials and design expertise.

Product Portfolio
The company offers a wide range of products including grease management systems, stainless steel gullies, roof and balcony drainage systems, wetroom and shower drainage, channel drainage systems, and anti-flood backflow protection systems.

Grease Management
  • Need for Management: Fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) can cause blockages and health hazards in kitchens and food processing areas.
  • Legislation: Compliance with national and regional regulations is required to prevent pollution and sewer impairments.


System and Process
ACO Biological Grease Traps use a biological activator to break down FOGs, involving sediment filtration, separation, and biological breakdown.

Biological Activators
These activators use enzymes and microorganisms to safely break down FOGs, available in 5 or 20-liter containers.

Grease Trap Selection
  • Factors: Considerations include meals per day, location, and installation type.
  • Sizing: Based on meals per day, with options for parallel installation to increase capacity.


Technical Specifications
Details on polypropylene grease traps, designed for various capacities and load classes, ensuring suitability for different applications.

Installation and Maintenance
Guidelines include installation proximity, temperature considerations, and maintenance regimes such as biological dosing and sediment basket cleaning.

Conclusion
ACO Building Drainage provides comprehensive grease management solutions, ensuring regulatory compliance and effective operation in food processing environments.
Specifications and Features
ACO Biological Grease Traps are available in polypropylene and stainless steel, designed for free-standing installation. They feature air-tight lids, smooth surfaces for easy cleaning, and are suitable for up to 250 meals per day. The traps include Ø110mm female inlet and outlet connectors, with options for reducers and adaptor kits. Lightweight sediment baskets with handles are included for easy maintenance.
Technical Data
Grease traps come in various models with specific dimensions and capacities. Polypropylene models (FSP) range from 610mm to 930mm in length, with flow rates from 2 to 6 l/s. Stainless steel models (FSS) are heavier, with dry weights from 35kg to 65kg. The compact stainless steel model is ideal for smaller kitchens, with a flow rate of 1 l/s and a height of 340mm.
Installation Guidelines
Grease traps should be placed close to the wastewater source to prevent grease build-up. Proper ventilation is necessary to prevent pressure build-up. Avoid connecting effluent from macerators or placing traps in extreme temperature areas. For below-ground installations, ensure suitable ground conditions and consider using access cover raising pieces.
Accessories
Accessories include mains or battery-operated drain dosing units, mounting frames, waste fitting kits, and ACO Clear biological activators. The MODD unit delivers 210ml per minute, while the BODD delivers 75ml per minute. The activator assists in breaking down FOG deposits.
Operation and Maintenance
Initial operation involves daily inspection of the sediment basket and adjusting dosing frequency if necessary. Regular maintenance includes draining, cleaning, and inspecting the trap biannually. Troubleshooting involves checking dosing units, electricity supply, and programming.

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.
