Grease Trap Additives

Insanity:

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Grease Trap Maintenance and cleaning should never include Grease Trap Bacterias, enzymes, chemicals or microbial agent.

The hidden costs of grease trap additives are never printed on the label. Plumbers never guarantee the length of effectiveness of grease trap bacterias.

The leading Restaurant Injuries result from hot grease burns and eye injuries from chemical splashes. Good reason to avoid grease trap chemicals, bacterias, and enzymes.

Grease Trap Chemicals and Bacterias

Grease trap bacterias and chemicals are illegal to use in drains, grease traps and grease interceptors in the majority of all cities, provinces, states, and municipalities. It is near impossible to find municipal approval or recommendation for grease trap additives in Canada. Grease trap additives are illegal in Toronto.

Grease trap enzymes and chemicals are frequently referred to as Grease Trap Bacteria, Biological Bacteria Enzymes, Biological grease treatments, Additives, agents, degreasers, Bioremediation, dosing systems, and Grease Trap Treatments. Grease trap additives are poor grease trap cleaners and a direct cause of grease blockages and sanitary sewer overflows.

CSA Canada - National Standard of Canada CAN/CSA-B481 Series-07 December 2007 Grease Traps and Interceptors

Section 6.1.3 - Chemical or Other agents An operator of a food services facility shall not use or permit the use of chemical agents, enzymes, bacteria, solvents, hot water, or other agents to facilitate the passage of FOG through a grease interceptor.

Major reasons for disallowing grease trap chemicals are employee health hazards, sewer pipe corrosion, and the harm to natural bacteria that eat grease and oils in passive grease traps. Grease Trap Enzymes have no affect on food solids. Food Solids will continue to rot and smell in passive grease traps and grease interceptors.

Grease Trap Chemicals, Bacterias and Enzymes, keep restaurant grease liquified long enough to build grease blockages downstream of the grease trap or grease interceptor. The dilution of the chemicals allows for restaurant grease to congeal and decrease pipe capacity, causing grease blockages and sanitary sewer overflows. Health Boards have heard grease trap chemical manufacturers make many environmental claims for enzyme and grease trap bacteria products. There is no proven or positive environmental evidence of grease trap bacterias or enzymes successfully eliminating brown grease, and food solids in passive grease traps and grease interceptors.

Testing results from an accredited independant lab on the effectiveness of grease trap bacterias, enzymes, chemicals or additives have yet to be published.

Grease Trap Bacteria Manufacturers claims are at best misleading.

Grease Trap Enzymes & Bacterias - Toxic, Ineffective, and Costly

Grease Trap Treatments and Degreasers

Plant-based grease trap treatments break down the carbon bonds in restaurant grease. After liquifying the grease, the "green" chemicals make it easier for the grease to flow into the septic tank or sewer system. The restaurant grease hardens downstream from the grease trap. The septic system will become ineffective due to grease blockages and clogs. Anti-bacterial soaps used in commercial kitchens kill grease trap bacterial treatments rendering them useless.

Micro-Organism Phase A healthy population of micro-organisms is kept alive to feed on incoming waste. The generic term for these plant micro-organisms is "bugs." Restaurant Grease plugs up lines and clog pumps, plus the plant's "bugs" don't like the taste of grease. A "bug" that will eat waste and grease has yet to be discovered.

A frequent google search term is "grease dissolving enzymes". Be sure that an actual product that dissolves restaurant grease, transforming the restaurant grease into water, carbon or any other state does not exist. Be clear that the grease is returning to a liquid form and being pushed from the grease trap further downstream.

Drain Cleaners - Bleach and Chlorine

At Nursing homes, odours are a greater challenge than grease blockages. Chlorine is commonly used to combat odours and grease blockages. The smell of chlorine does not make for a sanitary, and grease free environment. Bleach does not kill the bacteria in grease traps or drains. Chlorine does not degrade grease or food solids in grease traps, pipes, or drain blockages.

Microbial Population Enhancers

The newest grease trap additive on the block is natural microbial population enhancers or simply microbial products. A microbial population enhancer manufacturer claims their grease trap additives are "Proven through University Studies and Real-World Applications to Enhance Biological Efficiency". These grease trap products reportedly are made from unique and powerful peat extract. This natural grease trap non bacteria, non chemical, non enzyme grease trap additive is a REVOLUTIONARY and ORGANIC PRODUCT. As per all grease trap additives they have never been tested by a third party accredited facility.

The common result of grease trap bacterias is literally a time bomb. The contents of a grease trap are changing by the hour. The time frame may be a week or a month but eventaully the pipes from the grease trap to the sanitary sewer will be blocked. The grease that has adhered to the pipes is hard as a rock. Grease removal at this level is expensive.

Are Grease Trap Bacterias Banned?

Grease Trap Chemicals are frequently sold by Large Oranizations in jurisdictions where they are banned or not recommended for use. Grease Trap Bylaws and Compliances were passed to control what goes Down the Drain. The restauranteur is still responsible for the municapal bylaw fines.

Be Aware of Your Sewer Bylaws

Grease trap additives, including chemicals, bacterias and grease trap enzymes must have a MSDS sheet listing composition and safety instructions. MSDS's information includes toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, and storage. Are grease trap chemicals, enzymes, and grease trap bacteria suitable for your budget, water supply, staff health, and kitchen environment?
