GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE JAY R. SMITH MFG. CO.® REMEDIATOR® GREASE TREATMENT SYSTEM

An Environmentally Safe Choice
Food service establishments and industrial processing facilities generate fat, oil, grease, sugar and other contaminants in waste water. Fat, oil and grease are major contributors to blockage and backups in interior drainage systems and city mains, often causing unpleasant odors, costly pumping of interceptors and, in extreme cases, excavation of drains, traps and mains. Enzymes, caustic compounds (lye), detergents, and hot water temporarily liquefy and transport the contaminants down-stream, but the additives become diluted and the water soon cools, allowing coagulation, resulting in blockage and backup. The goal is complete eradication of suspended fat, oil and grease (FOG) at the source.

The Remediator® Grease Treatment System is designed to accomplish this task through the use of environmentally safe live bacteria (we call Remediator® Culture) which have been specially selected and bred to have broad appetites to digest fat, oil, grease, sugar, and starch and other complex carbohydrates and proteins. 

Remediator Grease Treatment System


The Remediator® unique grease treatment process consists of the following:

1. separation and retention of over 99% of suspended fat, oil and grease;
2. uniform and regular application of multi-strain live bacteria (Remediator® Culture) to establish and maintain a biofilm of the greatest possible area and vitality;
3. disposal of FOG by metabolic processes of the organisms inhabiting the biofilm; and
4. removal of over 99% of the suspended solids over 2mm from the waste water stream with the custom designed solids interceptor.

Remediator® Culture includes nine different strains of natural bacteria which are non-toxic and non-pathogenic. They have been specifically selected and bred for the Remediator® Grease Treatment System to assist degradation of cellulose, and digest fat, oil, grease and sugar. Remediator® Culture consists of selected beneficial strains of Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Arthobacter, and Micrococcus bacteria.

The Remediator® Grease Treatment System is designed specifically to provide the greatest possible surface area incorporating an interactive media on which the biofilm is maintained. Through applied hydrodynamics, the media separates and retains material in the effluent and transfers it to the biofilm within the interactive media.

Complete Elimination Through Bioremediation:

The Remediator® Grease Treatment System incorporates the following three essential elements to complete elimination through bioremediation:

1. redirecting of effluent, allowing effective separation and retention of the fat, oil and grease, while ensuring contact with the biofilm, so the bacteria can consume it;
2. allowing controlled drainage without permitting flow-through of undigested solids; and
3. maintaining an enhanced environment so live, fully germinated bacteria can perform as designed.

This easy-to-install system is obviously the most reasonable solution to the problem of grease pollution.
