Grease Trap Enzymes, Chemicals, & Emulsifiers

Grease Trap Chemicals

Grease trap chemicals are illegal to pour into drains, grease traps and grease interceptors in most cities, towns, provinces, states, regions, and municipalities.


Grease trap enzymes and chemicals are also referred to as Digestion Systems, Bacteria Bio-Agents, and Grease Trap Treatments. Grease trap enzymes are harmful to our water systems.


Grease trap enzymes are an expensive ongoing monthly cost.


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


Who is responsible for dumping grease trap chemicals into our water system?


Grease Trap Overflow

Grease Trap Chemicals and Enzymes, keep restaurant grease liquified long enough to become a serious problem downstream. The dilution of the chemical allows for the 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 bacterial products. There is no conclusive evidence to the effectiveness of these products eliminating brown grease, grease sludge, and food solids in grease traps.

Bleach & Chlorine

Grease Trap Enzymes

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 clean, 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 pipe and drain blockages.


The MSDS Sheet


A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required for all chemicals. Grease trap chemicals and enzymes must have MSDS listing hazourdous ingredients, and safety instructions. MSDS's information includes physical data toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, and storage. Are grease trap chemicals, enzymes, and bacteria in the best interest of your budget, water supply, health, and work environment?

Never add bleach, emulsifiers, enzymes or any other chemical to the grease trap. These agents harm the natural bacteria that eat grease and oils in grease traps.
