2 Technology that puts you clean ahead of the rest. The ecogrease int ercept or is designed according to the newly adopted European Standard pr-en1825. ecogrease separat es liquid, coagulating animal and veget able fat and grease from water prior to discharge in septic or municipally owned sewer application. Solid particles with a specific gravity > 1.0 are collect ed in the lower compartment.

3 Physical Principles of Grease/Water. Wast e-water from institutional kitchens, restaurants, food processing facilities,..., is contaminated with fat or grease of organic origin. Generally t he w ast e w at er has an average t emperat ure of above 30 C. All organic fat and grease components are liquid when entering the separator.

4 Physical Principles of Grease/Water. The efficiency of separation depends on: Retention time of the waste-w at er in t he separator. Difference in t he specific gravit y of w at er and grease.

5 Physical Principles of Grease/Water. The efficiency of separation depends on: Diamet er of grease part icles. Temperat ure of w ast e-w at er. Stability of emulsions (amount of cleaning agents).

6 Physical Principles of Grease/Water. ecogrease is designed t o rem ove: Solids with a specific gravity > 1. Free separable organic f at and grease. ecogrease does not rem ove: Emulsified grease (chemically or mechanically). Dissolved grease.

8 Technology that puts you clean ahead of the rest. For t he first t ime a grease separation technology will allow the consultant, plumber or end user to not only size t he syst em st rict ly by flow-rate, but also achieve specific effluent removal efficiencies for these pollutants (< 25 ppm mandatory according to pr-en 1825.

15 Installation. ecogrease is easy t o inst all. A 2l/s (32 gpm) ecogrease unit only weighs 44kg (97 pounds) and can be carried into a basement by t w o people.

16 Maintenance. ecogrease is easy t o maint ain. An integrat ed sight glass enables the owner to accurately monitor the thickness of accumulated grease and to det ermine t he appropriat e t ime for maintenance. The sight glass is equipped with a wiper to clean the window.

17 Maintenance. ecogrease is easy t o maint ain. To cleanly and easily remediat e collected pollutants, the ecogrease syst em can be equipped with a flanged suction pipe. This st ainless st eel pipe is t hen connected to a suction line that ext ends t o grade. Vacuum trucks then simply attach and pump at grade.

18 Performance. The ecogrease is t est ed in accordance with the European Standards (pr-1825) for the separation of grease from w at er (< 25ppm separation rat ios). Full size test certificates for all t hree st andard model sizes are available. Links: Test procedure for grease separat ors according to EN 1825

19 Performance. Full size test results achieved at 5,000ppm inlet oil concentration introduced at peak flow rate for each model. Samp le ecogrease NS02 ecogrease NS04 ecogrease NS07 ecogrease NS10 Discharge Limit (ppm) # # # # # Averag e 15, ,

20 Fields of application. ecogrease may be used in a w ide range of w at er-quality improvement applications including: Kitchens Restaurants, hotels. Institutional and processing facilities.

21 Ecogrease. All Clear? ecogrease at a. High separation efficiency ecogrease is designed according to the tough European Standard pr-en 1825 for grease separation. 30% to 50% annual maintenance cost savings Easy and clean remediation of collected pollutants with suction pipe to grade. Owner can monitor thickness of accumulated grease to accurat ely det ermine maint enance int ervals. High operational reliability No ext ernal energy supply is needed. No elect rical part s, and only grease resist ant HDPEand high grade stainless steel components.
