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 Remediator®
Culture Metering
Device
To maintain the biofilm, the bacteria require some time to attach to the media surfaces so the replenishment
of the Remediator® Culture takes place during a period of relative inactivity rather than at times of maximum use. The bacteria, being live, fully vegetative organisms, require no further incubation period to become productive. One ounce of
the Remediator® Culture is prescheduled for injection into the Remediator® every 24 hours, during a period of low kitchen activity. |

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. |
