  Causes of grease in pipes and wastewater

  Grease in pipes, wastewater arises from daily activities such as cooking, raw food preparation, cleaning dishes after each meal... Especially, at eateries, restaurants, hotels... Large amounts of excess grease and poorly treated feed debris will drift down the drain pipe.

  Over time, excess grease accumulates in pipes, grease traps/grease pits cause blockages in drains, and part of the excess grease will also enter the wastewater treatment system.

  The harm of grease and fat

  Grease and fat blockages greatly affect the environment, the daily life of many families and the business of food service establishments. Specifically, how do greases and fats affect the drainage system, the environment, and daily life? BioFix Fresh will clarify this issue shortly.

  Pipeline blockage

  Excess grease easily accumulates in the pipes and gradually causes blockages. When the pipe is clogged, the wastewater cannot circulate normally, leading to local water stagnation inside the kitchen area or other areas, causing unsanitary and uncomfortable.

  To overcome the blockage caused by grease, the business must spend on the maintenance and repair of the pipeline. Not only is this expensive, but it can also disrupt work, reduce productivity, and affect business or family activities.

  Impact on environmental pollution

  When grease and fat clog pipes, wastewater will be difficult to withdraw, rising back to stink, affecting health. When they enter the sewer line, the sewer system will cause pollution of ponds, lakes, rivers and streams.

  Reduced wastewater treatment efficiency

  Grease and fat are organic compounds that are difficult to decompose due to their durable molecular structure. When they enter the wastewater treatment system, they will hinder and inhibit the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

  Grease buildup interferes with the ability of microorganisms to absorb oxygen or prevents air from dissolving into water. Beneficial microorganisms will gradually die and reduce the efficiency of wastewater treatment. At this time, the phenomenon of brown foam floating on the surface of the aerobic tank, even spilling out, causing an unpleasant odor.

  Common solutions for treating excess grease

  The treatment of grease is not only the top concern of restaurants and eateries but also the worry of housewives. So what are the solutions to solve this problem?

  Grease treatment by conventional methods

  In many families, housewives often use ingredients available in the house such as: baking soda, white vinegar, boiling water,... to unclog pipes. However, these solutions only work to break the shape of the grease but the texture remains the same. Clumped grease will continue to move in the pipe, continue to harden and cause blockage of drains. Not to mention that these methods can also harm the drainage system.

  Mechanical treatment of grease

  Using a cable or drain blower is a common method of mechanical grease treatment. When the pipeline is severely blocked, facilities can use cables or drain cleaners to enter the pipeline and clean up the accumulated residue and grease. These tools will push or cut off blockages, helping to clear the pipe.

  Another method, high-pressure hot water spray also helps to effectively treat grease blockages. This method uses a high-pressure water sprayer with hot water to clean the grease in the pipes. Hot water helps soften grease and high-pressure water will push them out of the drain.

  Although there are many advantages, the mechanical grease treatment method still has some limitations as follows:

  ·        Not very effective for grease adhesion: Mechanical methods such as using cables, drain cleaners, or pressure sprays can remove part of the grease, but for greases that have been adhering or have been solidified for a long time, the effect may not be high. Fat will be difficult to separate completely if only these mechanical methods are used.

  ·        Difficulty in accessing the entire system: In cases where the pipes are too long or the structure is complex, the application of mechanical clogging methods such as cables, drain cleaners, or pressure sprays will make it difficult to reach the entire length of the system. Grease treatment will only be effective in locations where the device can reach, while long pipe segments or hidden corners may not be thoroughly addressed. In particular, the pressure or friction from the cable can gradually decrease when traveling over a long distance, causing grease or waste in pipe segments far from the inlet to be completely cleaned

  Treatment of grease by chemical method

  The treatment of grease by chemical method will require the use of chemicals to remove grease in wastewater storage tanks or in pipes and sewers. This method is effective in treating grease quickly but only temporarily. In addition, the use of chemicals is also discouraged because it can affect the final wastewater treatment results, which is not environmentally friendly.

  Treatment of grease by microbiological method

  This method uses fat-eating microbial preparationsinto the wastewater treatment system. Microorganisms are capable of decomposing grease, thoroughly solving the problems of stagnation, clogging of pipes and grease collection pits. The microorganisms are natural, safe for human health, and environmentally friendly.

  What are the advantages of microbial grease treatment compared to other methods?

  The application of microbiology to treat grease is a method that contains many advantages, which is chosen by many eateries, restaurants, and businesses.

  1.  Safe for health and the environment: The  microbiological method does not use chemicals, so it does not create chemical components, ensuring the quality of treated water does not contain harmful chemicals, does not cause unpleasant odors and is environmentally friendly.

  2.  Effective treatment of hard-to-reach areas: Microbial preparations come in many forms such as liquid, powder, tablet, and block, easily penetrating and effectively treating grease in many different areas and locations, including deep sections inside pipes.

  3. Prevent pipe corrosion: Microbial  grease treatment takes advantage of microbial strains, decomposing grease and organic waste into water and CO₂. Natural microorganisms do not cause disease, do not contain detergents, do not corrode pipes.
