Facility Maintenance

The situation with our Cafeteria is that it is at a slightly lower elevation than our grease trap that discharges to the City Sewer system. We have a lift station that pumps the Café effluent to the grease trap. This lift station was acting like a catch all for the heavier grease/oil based sludge. Buildup on the internals( pumps, piping and containment vessel walls) were significant. Periodically we would have to have the grease trap pumping company clean the lift station in addition to also having to use an improvised scrapper to clean the walls between cleanings. Smell and flies were also an issue. With The Green Chemical Store’s suggestion we installed a Pro Battery Drain Chief and tubing out to the lift station. We use the 30 gallon container of the Liquidase 250 and set the dosing at intervals of 12 hours. In a couple of months the difference was amazing. Since I’ve been using Liquidase 250 I have not had to do any cleaning/scrapping the walls of the lift station. The smell and insect issue has disappeared as well. Now my maintenance consists of checking batteries on the pump and liquid level of the drum ever so often. A much more pleasant task than before. Thanks TGCS!
