GreaseShield

Overview of the Grease Shield Grease Trap

Rated from 1 litre to 30 litres of influent per second, EPAS offers a range of user friendly, fully automated mechanical grease recovery units or grease traps under the GreaseShield brand. GreaseShields separate and remove food solids, fats, oils and greases and are designed to serve hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, fast food chains, hospital, prisons, labour camps, sporting stadia and FSEs.

GreaseShields prevent blockages in drains and protect pumping stations whilst significantly reducing the loading on waste water treatment plants. The recurring need to pump greasetraps and refill with clean water is eliminated as is the use of biological agents, enzymes and chemicals.

GreaseShield is the only proactive greasetrap in the world to deal with emulsified FOGs. GreaseShield is not a passive trap. GreaseShield is the only greasetrap in the world that removes entrained solids in real time to reduce BOD and COD and SS loadings.

Each GreaseShield has 5 co-operating baffles including a magnetic baffle and the flow of the effluent is reversed before allowing cooler effluent to discharge under the final baffle situate 18 mm above the base of the unit. Advantage is taken from the principles of thermodynamics and the law of gravity

The specific gravities (S.G.) of water (S.G. 1) and FOGs (S.G. 0.88) assist in achieving an efficient FOG retention and removal system. GreaseShield takes advantage of the waste thermal energy present in the effluent to remove animal fats and FOGs before they solidify.

GreaseShield takes advantage of waste thermal energy, using a combination of retaining baffles, reverse flow configuration and the differing specific gravities of water and FOGs which are complemented by thermal layers within the effluent. All of these factors, working in conjunction with the properties of the oleophilic and hydrophobic FOG removal means that the objective of protecting drainage systems is achieved.

Tests to determine the levels of FOGs present in the outlet discharge from GreaseShields (carried out by third parties - results available on request) confirm the efficiency and functionality of the GreaseShields.

The GreaseShield is an award winning product winning a Best Catering Equipment Award in 2008; a Best Equipment Product Award in 2009; an Eco Innovation Award in 2009; an Innovation In Industry Award in 2010 and a Green Hospitality Award For Innovation in 2010.
