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 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 grease interceptors (GIs). These GIs, 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, and the risk of six figure fines and cleanup costs if the GI should overflow due to clogging or poor maintenance.
Pumping trucks while emptying a 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 addressing this EPA directive, 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® Grease Reduction System is an economical way to reduce or even eliminate, the need to pump GIs. It offers an efficient, environmentally sensitive and cost competitive solution to bioremediation of FOG at the source, in the grease interceptor, 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.
