Grease and Fat Remediation.
GREASE TRAPS
Grease traps, also known as grease interceptors, are plumbing systems that serve as our first line of defense in the environment when it comes to preventing fats, oil and grease (FOG) from entering the wastewater management system and eventually the ocean. Wastewater treatment plants are unable to cope with FOG. This piece of equipment, usually made of hard plastic, fiberglass or concrete, is placed inside the kitchen or buried underground and is crucial in reducing the impact of our daily existancein relation to the environment.
When grease from food chains, restaurants and also residential kitchens gets into the wastewater system in raw form, it has a similar effect to that of an oil spill which is why waterwaste management systems are installed to control and minimise this effect. Grease traps are vital to control and manage, wastewater thereby lessening and eradicating the release of FOG into the envionment.
This technology is the first line of defense in protecting our environment from harmful wastewater.
ERGOFITO BACTERIAL REMEDIATION:
Fats, oils and grease from kitchen waste are hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases.s. The difficulty in breaking down any hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases. is the long carbon chains within the hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases.s. Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5 bacteria are able to break down these carbon links quickly and efficiently in an environmentally friendly manner, as Ergofito is a completely natural group of bacteria.
The floating FOG in any grease trap is an ongoing process as the inflow continues during normal kitchen operations. The food that drops to the bottom cannot be decomposed by Ergofito as it sits in an anaerobic zone, The FOG which collects on the surface are aerated and are easly and aggressively able to be decomposed by Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5.
ERGOFITO ECOFLUSH 10-10-5:
Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5 was developed to counter the limitations of conventional on-site re-mediation. As a 100% organic fluid oil remediation product, it can be utilized on-site even in the most sensitive ecosystems. Its natural ingredients are derived from glucides and essential amino acids which form powerful decomposing agents that stimulate the natural predisposition of certain bacteria to produce enzymesBiological molecules that catalyze (i.e., increase the rates of) chemical reactions capable of breaking down the hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases.s in organic matter. The hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases.s are thereby transformed into bacterial proteins that form a biological mud and a mixture of soluble fatty acids. This final product is completely environmentally friendly and favours the development of beneficial organisms and microbesMicro-organisms causing fermentation
Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5 has a natural surfactant that allows the Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5 bacteria to cling to any hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases. until the hydrocarbonA hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting entirely of Hydrogen and Carbon. For example fats, oils and greases. in this case, FOG, is totally decomposed. It is recommended to have a dosage unit it automatically drips on top of the surface of the grease trap. It can also be sprayed. In the event that either process is not practical or possible, Ergofito EcoFlush 10-10-5 can simply be flushed down from the basin. It will automatically eliminate all odours from the grease trap or sink and attach itself to the grease.
This process is fast and cost-effective while providing adequate protection for human health and the environment. The long-term benefit of using Ergofito is that it facilitates biodegradation by natural means.
