Effective and cost-effective solutions for grease disposal in restaurants

The restaurant is a place where waste grease and leftover food are generated every day. If the grease for the restaurant is not handled properly, it will cause many problems for the wastewater treatment system and the environment. Not to mention, the handling of congestion due to grease still takes a long time and the restaurant has to suspend business activities, causing great damage to revenue. So, what is the effective grease treatment solution for restaurants? Let's find out specifically with BioFix Fresh through the content of the article.

Grease treatment for restaurants

Sewer pipe blockage in the cafeteria due to grease

There is a lot of grease in restaurants due to the continuous cooking activities day after day. Because of poor grease handling, many eateries are experiencing pipeline blockages. So, what is the cause of this situation, what are their harms? 

Grease blockage in restaurants

Causes of clogged drain pipes in restaurants due to grease

·        Excess grease after cooking: Grease from the frying process and leftovers,... are poured straight into the sink and into the drain. As grease cools and comes into contact with cold water in the pipe, they will harden, cling to the pipe walls, and form thick layers of residue that cause blockages. 

·        Food waste: Food debris washed into the piping system, combined with hardened grease residue makes the blockage worse.

·        Unreasonable pipe design: Some eateries have an unreasonably designed drainage pipe system, pipes that are too small or have many corners, making drainage difficult and prone to blockages.

The harm of clogged drain pipes in restaurants

·        Impact on business activities: When the drain pipe is clogged, wastewater will stagnate, causing an unpleasant odor, affecting environmental hygiene, food safety and leaving a bad impression in the eyes of diners. This can cause your restaurant to gradually lose customers and affect the restaurant's revenue.

·        Causing damage to the drainage system: Prolonged blockages will put pressure on the drainage system, causing the pipes to crack, leaking water, and affecting the efficiency of the rear wastewater treatment system.

·        Costly repairs: In the event of severe blockages, you will need to resort to the assistance of professional wastewater treatment units, which is costly.

·        Causing environmental pollution: If not treated in time, wastewater containing grease will be discharged into the environment, polluting water and land and affecting human health.

Fast and long-term grease treatment solution for restaurants

We have just clarified the serious causes and harms of grease blockages. So, how to effectively treat grease for restaurants, while ensuring food hygiene and safety and being environmentally friendly? Let's take a look at some of the commonly used solutions below.

Reduce the amount of grease discharged into the pipeline

·        Reuse cooking oil: Cooking oil after frying can still be reused many times if it is filtered clean with oil filter paper or a specialized oil filter. This helps to minimize the amount of grease discharged daily at restaurants. However, we should not reuse oil too many times because this affects the quality of the dish and the health of diners.

·        Use of oil purifiers: Installing oil purifiers in the fryer area helps remove grease residue for repeated use and reduce oil discharge.

·        Raise employee awareness: Train employees on the process of collecting and transporting grease to the grease treatment area. Ask employees not to pour grease and leftovers directly into the sink.

Separation of grease from wastewater

Grease traps and grease separation tanks are indispensable equipment in eateries to prevent grease and solid waste from entering the drainage system causing blockages. In order to promote the most effective use of fat traps, restaurant owners should note:

·        Grease traps should be installed in a location near a grease discharge source, usually under a sink or food handling area.

·        Make sure the pipes connected to the grease trap are tight to prevent leakage and have a certain slope so that the waste can easily flow in.

·        Depending on the amount of grease discharged, you should clean the grease trap daily after finishing the cooking job.

Effective treatment of grease for restaurants with microorganisms

Using microorganisms to treat grease for restaurants is a smart and sustainable solution. Microorganisms are beneficial bacteria that are able to break down organic substances, greases, into harmless substances such as CO₂ and water. When put into the restaurant's drainage system, they will quickly "digest" all the grease inside. The number of beneficial microorganisms will constantly increase over time, sticking along the walls of the tube and clean consuming the daily grease discharged during the processing process at the restaurant. On the other hand, drainage pipes with a lot of good bacteria also increase the efficiency of the wastewater treatment system at the back.

Advantages of using microorganisms to treat grease for restaurants

·        High efficiency: Microorganisms have the ability to decompose grease, which is long-lasting and thoroughly effective and prevents grease blockage from returning.

·        Environmentally friendly: The preparation contains natural microorganisms that do not harm the environment and human health.

·        Safety for wastewater treatment systems: Microorganisms do not corrode water pipes like when using chemicals, helping to protect the drainage system of the restaurant.

·        Cost-effective: Compared with traditional grease treatment methods, using grease treatment microorganisms for restaurants is more economical in the long run.
