The Remediator^® Media
The Remediator^® Media which is at the center of the treatment process provides a large surface area that is essential in the separation and retention of FOG by the Remediator^®. The surface area in the honeycomb of cells comprising the media would cover the first five yards of a football field— it is where the Remediator^® Culture does its job. Without the media, the bacteria would be washed downstream rendering the unit’s treatment function ineffective.

The benefits of the Remediator^® solids Interceptor
The Remediator^® is designed to separate, retain and dispose of FOG; a liquid pollutant which is not efficiently separated, retained or easily disposed of by gravity interceptors. Solid material is not a liquid pollutant and is easily disposed of. The system features which make the Remediator^® extremely efficient at separating and retaining liquid pollutants make it extremely efficient at separating and retaining solids, a pollutant the Remediator^® is not designed to digest. Solids require much longer to break down in a biofilm and will accumulate over time eventually causing odor and partial or complete blockage of the unit, which is why a solids interceptor is included.

The solids interceptor is an inline separator with an easily removable basket-style strainer designed to remove all suspended solids over 2mm. It is fitted with a permanent safety screen to ensure no solids bypass during emptying of or inattention to the basket. Company testing verifies the strainer is capable of handling all designated flows with capacity for normal solids accumulation at an efficiency in excess of 99%. A benefit, in addition to dependable operation of the Remediator^®, is over 99% reduction in TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and concurrent reduction in BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) loading from kitchen waste to the POTW (Publicly Owned Treatment Works) or septic system.
