FRIED CHICKEN RESTAURANT

The fried chicken restaurant, in Toronto, Canada, was spending considerable money in drain and grease trap maintenance. They not only had problems with frequent emptying of a grease trap, which stank whenever opened, but drains required considerable maintenance and they were susceptible to city fines for excess grease in their effluent. Many products on the market had been tried without success.

Treatment Program

One Bacta-Pur® BACTIVATOR™ model R-500 was installed. The machine automatically and continuously physiologically conditions 500 mL/day of Bacta-Pur® XLG so that the cultures are not only active but famished prior entering the grease trap. No modifications to any of the restaurants procedures were required.
Bacta-Pur® products are strictly natural, and unlike many so called biological products Bacta-Pur® products contain no emulsifiers, soaps, surfactants or other chemicals, which merely send the grease down stream. The Bacta-Pur® System first converts grease into water soluble free fatty acids, which cannot restick to walls of drains and sewers. The free fatty acids are then consumed as food by the beneficial bacteria, which continue to clean drains and the environment down stream.

Results

The time series of photos show how the grease cake
was removed from the grease traps. The restaurant is
now saving $1000 /yr on drain maintenance. The
Bacta-Pur® System is being installed in other franchise
outlets to increase the restaurant’s profitability.
