Treatment For Fog Fats, Oil and Grease
MICROBE-LIFT DGTT is designed specifically to rapidly degrade Fats, Oils, and Grease in wastewater systems, including all forms of grease traps, waste sumps, re-circulation cleaning systems, storage lagoons, and wastewater biological systems.
Grease traps are basically holding tanks with baffles which allow oil & grease in a usually warm or hot liquid waste stream to cool off, coalesce and float to the surface of the trap where the baffle keeps it from existing the system. In this way, the grease trap reduces the organic loading to the wastewater treatment system.
Indigenous bacteria degrade the oil & grease that accumulate in the grease trap while new oil & grease are being built up. The speed of new oil & grease build up often exceed the natural biological degradation. The excess floating oil & grease requires regular pumping for disposal. Microbe-Lift® DGTT remediation of grease trap helps to speed up the speed of oil & grease degradation and eliminate bad odors particularly during pumping of excess oil & grease.
Grease traps are generally designed with a minimum of one hour hydraulic retention time during the peak flow. Dosing rate is based on grease trap size, however, should peak flow rate per hour higher than the grease trap size, dosing should be based on the peak flow rate volume. Microbe-Lift® DGTT is recommended for grease trap treatment.
Note:
It is best to dose immediately after shut down of the day’s operation when flow is low. If a period of very low flow is unavailable, continuous dosing via a dosing pump or a simple drip system may be used. For grease traps with very high oil content, equal amounts of Microbe-Lift® IND may be added to increase performance.
