Drain Gel
DrainGel is a highly-concentrated gel which clings to the sides of drains and pipes. DrainGel can also
be easily sprayed into cracks and crevices and onto hard-to-access non-drain sites. DrainGel's
formulation incorporates specialized microorganisms (bacteria) in combination with biological support
ingredients and essential growth factors. This unique formulation promotes improved performance in
degradation of organic materials in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Also it's specifically
designed to block the production of odours frequently occurring in drain lines, sewer lines and grease
traps.
American Bio-Systems
LLMO G-1
In the Liquid Live Micro Organism (LLMO) technology the bacteria are alive in a dormant state and
suspended in a liquid solution. Bacterial growth resumes at virtually 100% recovery rate when
introduced to appropriate nutrients in a biological waste treatment system. LLMO is a blend of several
selected strains of saprophytic bacteria that accelerates the digestion of organic wastes in the
sewage treatment system through the process of natural bacterial action on the wastes. LLMO
contains both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to ensure maximum effectiveness under varying plant
conditions.
GelPac G
For treatment anywhere grease/fat is a problem. Continuous addition optimises results. GelPac
technology involves immobilising bacteria in a slow-release gel. When a GelPac is added to water,
the gel slowly dissolves, which releases GelPac bacteria to the waste stream. Whereas liquid LLMO
is often added daily, GelPacs are generally replaced once per month or per week..

It contains a wide range of micro-organisms that have been specially selected for their ability to
efficiently degrade grease. They also are efficient in degrading other organic waste materials. These
bacteria produce a range of enzymes that degrade grease, starch, protein and cellulose. The key to
the degradation of grease and other compounds that are not water-soluble is the production of bio
surfactants. This helps to emulsify the grease so that it can be degraded more efficiently. The
bacteria in BFL 5150PS have been selected for their ability to produce bio surfactants. A small
quantity of biodegradable surfactant is included to start the process until the bacteria produce their
own bio surfactants to continue the degradation process.

Eco Trap
ECO TRAP LIQUID was developed to break-down grease, fats, proteins, cellulose and starches
which are normally difficult to eliminate and clog waste disposal systems. The grease trap treatment
product works quickly and effectively with no harmful effects on plumbing and does not create odours
or noxious gases. These bacterial strains become activated when exposed to water and shortly begin
production of the enzymes required to biodegrade these insoluble substrates. The strains of bacteria
are ravenous feeders of organic waste. As this digestive process begins, the water slurry of waste is
dark and cloudy. As the organic matter is biodegraded by the bacteria, the slurry becomes light and
clear.

Grease Traps
The grease trap works by slowing down the flow of warm or hot greasy water allowing it to cool. As
the water cools, the grease and oil seprate and float to the top of the grease trap. The cooler water
containing less grease continues to flow down the pipe to the sewer. The grease is trapped by baffles,
which cover the inlet and outlet of the tank, preventing grease from flowing out of the trap.

In our Bio-Katz products we have formulated several bacteria strains to essentially degrade waste,
control odours and remove specific unwanted chemicals. In essence the bacteria species are very
effective decomposing and digesting organic material. All bacteria must eat to stay alive. So bacteria
produce Enzymes which break down organic wastes into a liquid form that then can be absorbed by
our bacteria. Subsequently the bacteria convert the absorbed liquids into carbon dioxide and water
which are harmless to our environment. Enzymes are actually catalysts which initiate the chemical
processes involved in digestion. Contrary to popular misconception neither bacteria nor their
enzymes secretions are miniature packmen chewing up waste material. Rather. bacteria are like
sponges that absorb organic waste that has been previously liquefied by enzymes.

which bacteria actually consume grease and oil from drain lines, grease traps, and interceptors.
These bacteria are non-toxic, non-pathogenic, live, and vegetative. Best of all, they turn grease and
oil waste into harmless carbon dioxide and water. Also provide services in maintenance (disposal) of
grease traps. The system comprises of a reservoir containing a solution of vegetative bacteria, which
remains active 14-days. The solution is dosed into sewer line via peristaltic pump. The system can be
installed in commercial kitchens and the solution dosed into the drain. Also can be dosed into the
sewer line via manholes.

All KESSEL grease separators function using the gravity principle. Wastewater containing grease and
cooking oils enters the separator through a inlet calming device so as not to interfere with the
separations process. Inside the chamber, heavier sludges settle to the bottom while lighter oils and
grease rise to the surface of the separator. The cleansed wastewater then exits the separator and
flows into a public or private sewer system. The collected sludge and grease should be disposed of
monthly by a licensed disposal company. During disposal, the entire contents of the separator are
pumped into a waiting disposal truck and finally the empty grease separator is refilled with fresh water
and placed back into operation.

Automatic Grease Removal Unit Traps and Removes Grease, Fats and Oils.
Stage 1 - Solids Collection
Waste water from the kitchen is directed through the inlet of the Grease Guardian where a
removable strainer basket collects any solid debris.
Stage 2 - Grease and Oil Separation
Grease in the waste water floats to the surface and is trapped while the clear water leaves the unit
and enters the drainage system.
Stage 3 - Self Cleaning and Grease Removal
The timer-driven heating element is activated to liquefy grease, which is then removed by the
skimming wheel and deposited into a portable container for recycling.

The Kitchen Biomass Grease Trap (above-ground installation) is designed for installation inside your

the sinks or anywhere else convenient to the waste pipes. The standard above-ground units are
supplied complete with an Automatic Biofluid dosing pump and 25 litres of Biofluid (enough to last 5-6
months) There is also an economy range with a Biosock instead of the dosing pump and fluid. All
units are supplied with multi-fit 50mm Osma waste connections.
This range of grease trap is for installation externally, below ground and connected to standard
drainage pipes. Sizes are normally determined by the number of meals per day that the restaurant
Underground Biomass caters for. All units are fitted with 110mm uPVC drainage connections but can be fitted with 160mm

fittings if requested at time of order.
Lamina Filtertraps
The very high quality of grease and oil separation from these units (better than 25 parts oil per million
parts water). Apart from ensuring that the separation levels are un-surpassed, considerable thought
has been given to the maintenance aspects of the Lamina Filtertrap. With all but the very smallest
size, a mechanical lifting hoist is supplied. This allows the large capacity grease collection trays to be
lifted and suspended above ground level where the valve on the side of the tray can be opened to
allow the oil/grease to drain into a suitable waste container.
If a Garbage Grinder is to be installed in the kitchen, we recommend that the waste from it be run to
enter the drains down stream of the Filtertrap. Alternatively, one size larger Filtertrap may be
specified.

Our separators have been independently tested by B.S.IHemel Hempstead, England; L.G.A.
Wurzberg, Germany and C.S.T.B. Nantes, France, the major separator test facilities in Europe. The
EN858 test simulates a rain storm with oil being mixed turbulently into the water before entering the
separator. The outflow from the separator must contain less than 5 parts oil per million part water.
Separators which achieve this standard can normally be placed so that the output flows directly to
streams, lakes and rivers without polluting them. All our separators are approved by the U.K.
Environment Agency and the British Standards Institute.

Oil Separator
Oil / water separators are designed to remove all free and dispersed non-emulsified oil and some
settleable solids from waste streams. If emulsified or dissolved oils are present in the waste water
additional downstream may be required. The principal function of the oil / water separator is to
remove gross quantities of free oil before further treatment. In this capacity, the oil / water separator
protects more sensitive downstream treatment processes from excessive amounts of oil.

The APF-Cleaner system is designed to control the pump so that it will operate down to the lowest
possible water level in the sump, i.e. down to the level at which air is drawn into the impeller. The
pump will then be able to pump away the grease and dirt that normally always remain on the water
surface. The action of entraining air at low operating depths, also promotes a high level of turbulence
for a short period of the end of the pumping cycle. The turbulence will stir up some of the dirt and
grease that normally collect on the sump floor, and these pollutants will then also be pumped away.
The removal of both floating and settled solids during pumping reduces routine maintenance and
sump cleaning, such as sparging and desludging, and significantly improved pump reliability.

The JFC GT01 Grease trap has a capacity of 40litres which mades this trap ideal for dwelling houses.
When the wastewater enters the grease trap, the grease rises to the top and eventually solidifies to
form a hard layer at the surface. The heavier waste solids are deposited in the perforated filtering
bucket, which sits firmly at the bottom of the grease trap chamber.After the wastewater passes
through the filtering bucket it then exits the grease trap through an outlet pipe and continues through
the drainage system. When necessary the filtering bucket can be removed and the grease and
trapped solids can be properly disposed of.

The JFC GT02 Grease trap has a capacity of 200 litres which made this trap ideal for restaurants,
bars, service station,hotels, fast food outlets etc.
This trap consists of three Chambers:
1. Inlet Chamber: The wastewater flows into the inlet chamber where
the heavier waste solids are retained in the perforated filtering bucket. At this stage some grease may
solidify and rise to the top to form a layer of sludge. There is a baffle to retain any un-trapped solids in
this chamber.
2. Settlement Chamber: The wastewater flows under gravity from the inlet chamber into this chamber.
The settlement chamber acts as a buffer zone where the wastewater will circulate by natural currents
to cool the remaining grease. Then the wastewater flows forward into the outlet chamber.
3. Outlet Chamber: This chamber collects the remaining grease from the wastewater and retains it in
the perforated filtering bucket. The wastewater flows under gravity through the outlet. Again there is a
baffle to retain any un-trapped solids in this chamber.

Bio Kat
Bio-Kat is a 100% natural highly concentrated liquid Bio Catalyst that stimulates the aerobic,
anaerobic and facultative bacteria in wastewater.
Its complex formulation increases the cellular metabolism of the bacterial micro-organisms present in
wastewater. It functions by supplying the missing or deficient micronutrients and intercellular enzymes
that are lacking in the nutrient constituent of the wastewater. Bio-Kat addition to wastewater will
potentially lower the BOD, reduce the amounts of FOG and eliminate odours.

PS Depth Charge
The Depth Charge is a mixing system that re-suspends floating solids such as fats, oils, and grease
as well as settled solids within a pump station wet well allowing the pumps to remove them. Because
this mixing occurs during every pumping cycle, the solids are kept to a manageable size preventing
any repetitive clogging problems normally associated with pump stations with large amounts of solids.
This mixing is accomplished using a small volume of high pressure air injected immediately before
the pump is energized. This air creates sufficient turbulence within the wet well to mix in the solids
and then exit the water prior to energizing the pumps. The pump is then energized removing the resuspended solids. The entire cycle occurs automatically with no moving parts being added to the wet
well.

The Spinifex oily water separator works on a very simple hydrocyclone principle. Oily water treatment
is achieved by pumping the mixture tangentially into the oil water separator. This initiates a spinning
vortex which is accelerated as the water is forced down the tapered section, separating the heavier
water phase to the outside wall while the lighter oil phase moves to the center. The separated oil is
removed through a reject orifice located in the inlet head and the treated water is discharged through
the opposite end.

BioCake Sump
Treatment
The Watling Hope BioCake is a 'cake' of powdered micro-organisms (bacteria and enzymes) held in a
dormant spore state. The product is suspended in a sewage pump well where on contact with effluent
it activates and releases enzymes and bacteria which digest fat, oil and grease build-up. Located
within the well itself the BioCake continually releases grease degrading micro-organisms - providing
ongoing protection 24 hours a day. Frequency of replacement depends on the size of sump and is
typically between 2-3 months. The WH BioCake can be replaced by onsite maintenance engineers
or by Watling Hope as part of an automatic replacement programme.

Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of good
kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste discharged via the
sink.
An initial CCTV survey was carried out which showed a heavy build up of
FOG in the drain/sewer.
The public sewer at rear of the row of properties regularly blocks with FOG,
causing lack of toilet use and internal flooding at the properties. The sewer
has a flat gradient which exacerbates the problems caused by FOG
discharges from local catering premises. A Chinese takeaway is thought to
be the main source of FOG. It is believed that the premise has general bad
practices relating to the disposal of waste fats and oils, and it is thought that
these are disposed of directly via a manhole outside their property. The
sewer was cleaned prior to installation, therefore the product was acting to
prevent FOG accumulation. A single Alubio L block (a specialised slow
dissolve block which attacks fats, oils and grease) was suspended inside
the manhole in the wastewater flow.

Feedback from the properietors was positive
regarding the kitchen practice and grease trap

applied the product to the wet well surface using a spray gun.
A major pumping station that receives substantial quantities of fat and
greases from the upstream catchment. THa upstream catchment consists
of industrial, commercial and residential areas.
Due to the larges volumes of fats and greases, the wet well is typically
emptied on a weekly basis.
6 days before the start of the 6 week trial the wet well was emptied and
cleaned.
Immediately prior to the commencement of the trial the surface of the wet
well was approximately 95% covered in a FOG crust.
ChemSearch personnel applied the product to the wet well surface using
a spray gun.
This major pumping station had noticed an increase in the levels of fats,
oils and greases received from the upstream catchment.
Prior to the start of the 5 month trial a thick layer of fats and greases was
noted on the wet well surface. This was approximately 0.5-1.0 m thick.
Jetting and a heavy spray programme using the product was carried out to
break up the surface of the crust.
Results
At the end of the trial there was little evidence of any
FOG crust. The product worked well and kept the fats
and grease in watery condition.
It was noted that the fats and greases entering the wet
well actually helped to bind the rags and paper
components together.
The rags and other debris present in the wet well during
the trial severely inhibited the bacterial action of the
product.
The product is not designed to work on the inorganic
debris in the wastewater.
Unfortunately due to the break down of the pumping
machinery the trial had to be terminated early. However,
the results showed that the FOG crust had been
reduced so that it only covered approximately 5% of the
surface of the wet well.
The product did not remove the FOG entirely, but did
keep it pliable and the fat was therefore much easier to
remove.
The trial demonstrated that this product dealt with the
large volumes of fats and grease entering in the
wastewater very well.

The upstream catchment has a population of approximately 500. A
conference centre in the catchment significantly affects the load on
the treatment works as it can cater for around 300 people each day.
The high FOG load in the wastewater causes the formation of a crust
on the primary settlement tank; rising sludge and solids carry over
from the primary settlement tank and blocking of the filter arms.
Prior to the start of the trial, the affected areas of the treatment works
were jetted clean of all FOG accumulation.
The Bio-Sock was suspended in the inlet channel to the primary
settlement tanks.
A 1 month trial was carried out in the late 1980's at a pumping station

The results of using this system are difficult to determine
due to the variable FOG load in the incoming wastewater.
However:
a reduction in fat build up on the primary settlement
tanks was noted.
FOG deposits that remained were softer and easier to

The pumping station serves a petrol station, burger restaurant

The pumping station had a history of heavy fat build up which
required a high number of reactive site visits to rectify operational
problems.
Prior to star of a 6 month trial a thick crust of FOG covered the
surface of the wet well.
Over the past ten years this road has had many FOG related
issues. These are largely thought to be due to the high
concentration of food catering outlets. There have been odour
complaints, sewer blockages, sewer flooding incidents, many
reports of rats and the loss of the use of toilets.
Environmental Biotech GES system was installed in the kitchens
of 8 food catering premises for a year long trial.
It should be noted that other FOG management systems/devices
were installed at a number of the other premises in the road.
Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of
good kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste
discharged via the sink.
Results
After 1 month of dosing the crust turned a foam consistency.
After 2 months of dosing no FOG was obvious on the chamber
walls and the remaining fat in the wet well had formed small balls.
After 3 months of dosing very little fat was evident and the
chamber walls and pump bodies were free of FOG accumulation.
The GES system has now been in place for approximately 3
years and continues to operate effectively to prevent the build up
of FOG.
The sewer was still blocked with FOG at the end of the trial.
The FOG at the pumping station changed during the trial period
from a lumpy texture to a soft mousse, however, this still caused
problems at the pumping station. Environmental Biotech
suggested that the design of the pumping station and that fact
that fat built up on the rags present in the pumping station, had
meant that the FOG had not been completely removed.
During the trial period it was noted that there were no odour
issues and there was a significant reduction in the numbers of
rats at this Town Centre location. There were also no reported
sewer blockages or flooding incidents in the local drain/sewer
system. This trial significantly reduced the amount of FOG being

A large supermarket with a hot food delicatessen, bakery and butcher
had 4 existing Grease Guardian units. Although these units were
installed, blockages were still occurring in the downstream sewer
approximately once per year. Blockage crews noted significant volumes
of FOG in the sewer on each occasion.
Maintenance practices of the Grease Guardian units were subsequently
examined. It was found that the supermarket staff were carrying out daily
maintenance on the units, however, they were unsure how the waste
should be disposed of and so it was tipped down a surface water gully at
the side of the building.
The manufacturers of the Grease Guardian units noted that these
systems are approximately 10 years old and records show they were
long overdue a service. The manufacturers examined the units and a
report shows that 3 of the 4 units were in good working order, the fourth
unit had a broken heating element, which was subsequently replaced.
Further investigations indicated that a sink, adjacent to the fourth unit,
was not plumbed into the unit. It was suggested that this may
have been the cause of the FOG build up downstream.
Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of good
kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste discharged

The site sell fresh fish and also cooks fish products such as fish pies etc.
When first approached to take part in the trial, the proprietor was surprised
that they had been described as a FOG hotspot and could not recall ever
having considerable problems with their drains.
Despite an initial CCTV survey showed a build up of FOG in the drain. In a
later CCTV survey, structural problems were discovered in the clay pipe
downstream of the shop which may have contributed to the build up of
FOG.
Investigations found that it would be difficult to install a single unit due to
the lacke of external space and the arrangement of the pipework. Suitable
locations were found for three separate Miskin Interceptor units.
The first unit catered for a sink used to rinse fish in the front of the shop.
The second served a large double sink in the kitchen used for pot wash
etc., and
The third catered solely for a combination oven used to cook fish.
The Town Centre has a history of FOG problems (sewer blockages and
associated sewer flooding), partly due to the high concentration of
restaurants in the town centre.
17 Miskin grease separators were been installed in the kitchens of 16
commercial catering premises for a 6 month trial. The grease separators
were installed to take the wastewater from sinks in the premises.
The units were removed and emptied by Miskin on a fortnightly basis.
Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of good
kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste discharged via
the sink.
The food catering outlet selected was alleged to be the cause of known
problems of repeat blockages and internal flooding incidents from a
manhole in the kitchen extension of a property, both thought to be caused
by the accumulation of FOG in the local sewer system.
The location is well known to the local Environmental Health Officer (EHO)
who attributes the previous incidents to FOG being discharged from a
neighbouring Chinese takeaway, as this is the only likely significant source
of FOG discharging to the affected section of sewer.
A 6 month trial used two Miskin Interceptor units installed at the kitchen,
one internally and one externally.
Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of good
kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste discharged via
the sink.
Results
In the latter stages of the trials three flooding incidents occurred
at the trial site. In each case a blockage had occurred
downstream of the premise.
On the first occasion the jetting crew noted blue paper hand
towel in the sewer along with a slight FOG built up on the walls
of the manhole. The use of blue paper hand towel was
subsequently stopped.
A second incident occurred within two weeks of the first
incident. On this occasion it was presumed that the FOG in the
pipework was the cause of the blockage. However, a follow up
CCTV survey discovered serious structural damage to the clay
pipework downstream. It is likely that this caused a flow
restriction.
The third blockage occurred just downstream of the separator
allocated to the combination oven. It is possible that some small
particles will pass through the grease separator, which may
have been sufficient to block the small pipe downstream of the
separator.

Although fat did build up in the sewers it was noted to be of
a softer consistency, making it easier to remove and control.

Description
The butcher shop discharges to a sewer which has had
several blockages in recent years and had used a drain
cleaning contractor to jet the sewer.
An initial CCTV survey was carried out and a notable build
up of FOG was found in the pipework.
During investigations at this site it was discovered that the
sinks were plumbed into the soakaway rather than foul
drain. This problem was subsequently rectified by the
landlord of the building.
Two grease separators, one to cater for each set of sinks,
were installed. Once the traps were installed, the butcher
shop staff undertook the maintenance on a weekly basis.
The waste that was removed from the traps was placed in
their regular refuse bins for collection.
Results
Little was known of the effluent from a butchers shops
prior to this trial and it is now clear that a greater FOG
loading is generated than was expected.

Grease separator
Location
Town Centre
Record
Over the past ten years this road has had many FOG related
issues. These are largely thought to be due to the high
concentration of food catering outlets. There have been odour
complaints, sewer blockages, sewer flooding incidents, many
reports of rats and the loss of the use of toilets.
Swan Enviro Grease separator was installed externally at a food
catering premise for a year long trial.
It should be noted that other FOG management systems/devices
were installed at a number of the other premises in the road.
Guidance documents were issued to highlight the importance of
good kitchen practices and to reduce the amount of food waste
discharged via the sink.
Results
The grease separator significantly reduced the amount of
FOG entering the drain/sewer system. It was noted that
the performance could be improved with the addition of
the Swan Enviro dosing product "Swan Freshflo Dosing
Fluid". This would also make maintenance practices less
unpleasant.
During the trial period it was noted that there were no
odour issues and there was a significant reduction in the
numbers of rats at this Town Centre location. There were
also no reported sewer blockages or flooding incidents in
the local drain/sewer system. This trial significantly
reduced the amount of FOG being discharged to the local
drain/sewer system.

BioCake
Location
Record
Pumping Station The pumping station has FOG problems, and receives
the discharge from a relatively small catchment of
about 20-25 domestic properties and one pub.
Three FOG treatment devices, 2 Big Dippers (one
connected to a pre-wash sink the second attached to
a double sink) and a Grease Guzzler were installed at
the pub but the problems at the pumping station
remained. Therefore the BioCake product was
installed at the pumping station as an additional FOG
control measure. Three BioCakes were suspended in
the wet well for a trial period of 3 months.
Results
At the end of the trial the FOG built up to a similar level to that at the
beginning of the trial (before cleaning), so the BioCake had made
little, if any difference. The FOG had accumulated around the side
walls, around the pumps, and on the netting holding the BioCakes.
The cake at the lowest level had dissolved completely, the other had
partially dissolved and the cake at the highest level, which didn't
appear to be under the water-level very much, was almost whole.
The reason that the product didnt work as well as anticipated is
possibly due to a lack of movement around the wet well as there
isn't much inflow in that pumping station and the water level in the
wet well doesn't rise/fall quickly. The cakes may not have been
installed at the correct levels as one had not dissolved at all.
