The Problem
Grease is the 1 cause of SSOs in the United
States, costing taxpayers 25 billion/year for
clean up.

• Grease is hydrophobic-clings to objects free of
  water.
• Sewer systems are antiquated, 75 work on 50
  capacity.
• Grease is responsible for 40-50 of sanitary and
  combined sewer overflows.
• Grease overflows are costly and hazardous to the
  city and the facility.
• Current grease interceptor enforcement programs
  are hazardous, ineffective on the whole and
  expensive.
• Food service facilities continue to grow (407
  billion in sales 2002).
• Cost of keeping sewers open exceeds 25 billion
  annually.
• Pre treatment plants are refusing grease land
  applied grease programs are limited.

• Hazardous
• Or Wait till the system backs up, pay the fine
  and clean-up charge, deal with downtime and if
  you have your own onsite system
• You will be replacing your leaching field.

The Benefits Industrial Users

• Prevent system failures, avoid costly fines,
  downtime, and negative publicity.
• Save money by servicing wastewater systems as
  needed not according to an arbitrary schedule
• Proof of performance when tanks are serviced
• Keep track of tanks that are not easily accessed
  or cannot be accessed during normal business
  hours.
• Ensure that kitchen staff use best management
  practices for waste disposal - around the clock
• Document regulatory compliance at less cost
  automated data collection minimizes the time,
  effort, and cost of self-monitoring. Moreover,
  the data is accurate and timely.

Automated monitoring of grease interceptors is
the best, most cost-effective insurance against
backups and overflows.
