How should excess grease be treated so as not to harm drainage pipes as well as the environment? BioFix Fresh will reveal to you 5 effective ways to treat excess grease , simple to do, but not everyone knows.

Effective methods of treating excess grease

Why should you dispose of excess grease?

Disposal of excess grease after cooking is often overlooked by many people, pouring it directly into the drain and thinking that it will also flow like water. However, did you know that grease, fat, and leftovers are very sticky? If poured directly into the sewer, they will freeze and stick together and leave many serious consequences that you did not expect.

Causing pipe blockage: The fat in the grease over time will be broken down into fatty

acids and glycerol, which, combined with the calcium in the drain, will form

dense "fat blocks" attached to the pipe. This is the leading cause of

pipe blockage, slowing down the drainage process, even causing waterlogging.

Impact on wastewater treatment efficiency: Grease reduces the operational efficiency of domestic and industrial wastewater treatment systems. They create a film that floats on the surface of the water, preventing oxidation and reducing the ability of organic matter to break down.
Costly: Excess grease adheres to the pipe walls and gradually forms dense plaques. This reduces wastewater flow, causing pipe blockages, and even pipe breakage. Fixing pipe blockages requires large costs to unblock, repair, or replace pipes. For restaurants and hotels, the blockage of the drainage system also affects business activities.
Impact on the environment and health: After use, grease and grease, if discharged directly into the sink and drain, will follow the pipes discharged into the environment and seep into the ground, into groundwater, causing environmental pollution. In addition, a humid environment and stagnant wastewater are also ideal conditions for bacteria to grow, causing unpleasant odors and gastrointestinal diseases, directly affecting human health.

Excess grease causes blockages and many serious consequences

Effective ways to deal with excess grease

To overcome the above problems, it is extremely necessary to properly dispose of excess grease. Here are some common, simple implementation methods that you can apply.

Reuse excess grease

If the grease has not turned brown or black after processing, you can filter it again with an oil filter or oil filter paper and reuse it for the next time. However, it should be noted: Do not reuse excess grease more than 2 times and must filter out the residue in the grease to ensure good health. Grease that is reused too many times is one of the causes of cancer.

Disposal of excess grease at source

The simplest way to deal with excess grease applied by many people is to wait for the grease to cool down after processing and then pour it into a plastic bottle or plastic bag. It is better to let them freeze in the refrigerator and then put them in the trash for the environmental sanitation team to collect and dispose of.

Use oil-absorbent paper to dispose of excess grease

In case the amount of grease after processing is not too much, you can use oil-absorbent paper to absorb the excess grease. Then collect them and put them in plastic bags and put them in the trash. This method of treating excess grease is extremely convenient, widely applied in households.

Use a grease separation tank to dispose of excess grease

A grease separation tank is a specialized device that separates grease from wastewater before discharging it into the environment. The working principle of the grease separation tank is based on the specific volume difference between oil and water. Oils that are lighter than water will rise to the surface and be separated.

This method of treating excess grease is often commonly applied in restaurants, hotels, eateries, and collective dining areas for workers,... often have to cook with a lot of frequency, the amount of excess fat discharged every day is large.

Use microorganisms to treat excess grease

Excess grease after cooking, if you have the habit of pouring directly into the drain pipe of the sink, will form plaque in the pipe in the long run, leading to blockages and unpleasant odors.

To solve the "consequences" caused by you, you can use specialized grease treatment microorganisms to remove cooking oil adhering to pipes. These products contain many beneficial bacteria, capable of breaking down grease into harmless substances, helping to minimize clogging, protect the environment and be safe for health.

Some liquid microorganisms, effective oil and grease treatment in pipelines provided by BioFix Fresh that you can refer to such as: BAC GT-1202, BAC GT2B-1205, BAC GT4B-1206.

Notes when dealing with excess grease

During the treatment of excess grease, there are some notes as follows:

Do not pour excess grease directly into drains and sinks.
Do not reuse excess grease more than 2 times to protect health. Grease after filtration is reused, it is necessary to use it as soon as possible because even the old oil will be damaged quickly, unlike new oil.
If grease is used to fry fish, seafood, and smelly foods, it should not be reused because it can affect the taste of the dish.
Grease after filtering for reuse, do not mix with new oil, especially when they are of different origins to ensure health safety.
Grease shows signs of smoke when frying or stir-frying, it is not recommended to continue using them because they can produce harmful substances when cooking at high temperatures.

With the above useful contents, BioFix Fresh hopes that you will know more effective ways to treat excess grease to avoid environmental pollution and limit health hazards.
