Grease trap waste disposal begins after fully emptying the grease trap of its waste contents. The waste grease must be brought to a waste grease collection facility for proper disposal. Collected waste from the grease traps which is about 55 gallons in volume usually require handling by a registered waste grease transporter. He is also responsible for the removal of waste grease prior to disposal. The facility for grease trap waste disposal may either be a composting facility, a landfill or a bio-diesel manufacturer. Waste grease can also be brought to a waste water treatment facility which accepts waste grease.
From the kitchens, where do grease waste go?
Grease trap waste disposal must be done properly and this includes a safe transport of the collected grease waste and 100 percent compliant disposal which is part of everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment. The waste from grease cleaning go to recycling plants and composting facilities.
Recycling plant
Grease waste may be refined and converted into bio-diesel which not only protects the environment but also provides fuel to buses using bio-diesel powered engines. A grease trap waste recycling plant is not only a grease waste disposal area but is also a plant for turning grease into bio fuels. The plant can also convert food solids into animal feeds and fertilizers.
Brown grease recycling which is an efficient way of grease trap waste disposal is done through thermal depolymerization which is a new technology in waste disposal. Instead of sending grease trap waste into landfills, some restaurants or establishments in the food industry would prefer sending their waste in recycling plants so as to generate products with value out of waste. Bio gas which is one of the valuable products can power turbines, can be used in fuel cells, especially large batteries which in turn drive turbines.
Composting facility
A composting facility for grease trap waste disposal is a plant that is capable of composting bio solids, organic solid wastes, industrial non-sanitary sludge, food processing residuals and grease trap waste. The composting facility has a steel storage tank for grease trap waste is first brought in before the waste is sent into a pug mill by which it is blended with feed stocks, sawdust and wooden chips. The main function of the grease trap waste is to adjust the moisture content of the mix prior to formation of the final compost product which is odorless and dry enough.
