Before and After
Bioremediation of BROWN GREASE in the grease interceptor - the same one before on the left, shown on the far right after installation of the Hydrologix®GRS.

 |
In metropolitan areas the brown grease is taken by pumpers or grease hauling trucks to a wastewater treatment plant where they are charged to dump it. In other areas it may be taken to a landfill or it may be illegally dumped somewhere unknown, to avoid charges. This unmonitored disposal process is not only harmful for our environment and our health, it also hurts businesses. It is not unheard of for a pumper to dump one restaurant’s collected grease waste into another restaurant’s grease interceptor under cover of darkness...
then charge the second business to pump their now full grease interceptor! |
The Wastewater Problem
Food establishments, restaurants, hotels, as well as food manufacturers, produce a problematic by-product known as FOG (Fats, Oils and Grease). Commonly referred to as grease, it is typically collected in a grease trap or grease interceptor and discharged via the wastewater drains into the sewer system and is one of the major causes of sewage spills' run off causing beach closures.
"Sewage spills are a summer bummer for beachgoers"
Los Angeles Times, July 29, 2008
"[Sanitary Sewer Overflows] SSOs also occur due to the improper discharge of fats, oils and grease to the collection system..."
EPA press release, June 19, 2008
"Nearly 70 percent of sewage overflows from human-waste sewage lines are due to breaches, obstructions such as tree roots or grease clogs, line breaks, and mechanical failures"
NDRC, Sources of Beachwater Pollution, ch1, p15
This hazardous grease discharge inflicts significant damage into the sewer system infrastructure, producing blockages that result in sewage spills into oceans and underground water reserves. These spills not only cause beach closures but also endanger public health. The source of the blockages are rigorously investigated, and the “owners” of the waste at source, when found, incur huge costs.
Many cities, counties and states have now implemented (as required under the Federal Clean Water Act and US EPA Grease Management Regulations) grease management measures, typically involving the mandatory installation of a grease interceptor (GI) or grease trap. These in theory trap some of the grease but need to be regularly inspected and vacuum pumped. To the food establishment, there may be constant unpleasant odors from Hydrogen Sulfide gases in the GI or grease trap, and the risk of six figure fines and cleanup costs if it should overflow due to clogging or poor maintenance.
Pumping trucks while emptying a grease trap or GI, are unsightly, foul smelling and noisy, and must dispose of the waste which ends up as sludge in a landfill, either via detour through a wastewater treatment plant or directly. This is simply moving the problem of toxic waste to another location. The EPA, via the Clean Water Act, prohibits the moving of an environmental problem and mandates a proper resolution.
The Hydrologix®Grease Reduction System or Hydrologix GRS, addresses this EPA directive and is the only successful in-situ FOG bioremediation solution on the market today.

The Hydrologix® GRS Solution
 The fully biological in-situ (at the source) Hydrologix® GRS is an economical way to reduce or even eliminate, the need to pump GIs and grease traps. It offers an efficient, environmentally sensitive and cost competitive solution to bioremediation of FOG at the source, in the grease interceptor or grease trap, while also presenting a more aesthetically pleasing process that is noiseless, odorless, and alleviates burdening our landfills with toxic waste.
Completely computer controlled, our system is licensed to the food establishment proprietor and requires minimal monthly maintenance. Microbial liquids are checked and maintained monthly by trained staff. Competitive with the cost currently paid for pumping, the Hydrologix® GRS with 24 x7 monitoring by our service company takes the worry away from the proprietors.
Result?
Your output will be gray water, potentially re-usable. Further reduce costs by using this to water your landscape and save on your local water/sewage district fees.
