Modules eliminate odor complaints at resort
Problem: A world-class resort in the Caribbean had multiple three-chamber grease interceptors that were causing significant hydrogen sulfide odor issues for guests. Additionally, the grease interceptors needed to be pumped twice a month due to significant grease buildup in all three chambers and to prevent grease from consistently exiting into the downstream lines. The resort was receiving odor complaints from guests regarding both grease interceptors.
Solution: IMET Grease Interceptor Modules were installed directly into each chamber of the two three-chamber grease interceptors at the resort. Each installation was completed in under two hours as each system consists of a module connected to a small, quiet, energy-efficient air pump.
Result: Within one day of installing the IMET GIM, the grease cake built-up in the interceptors was completely gone in the third chamber. The first and second chambers only had a thin layer of grease floating on the surface. Since the installation, the resort is no longer receiving odor complaints. Pumping is virtually eliminated as pumpers periodically only skim the surface of the first and second chambers of the grease interceptors. Downstream lines are no longer receiving FOG overflowing from the grease interceptor. Instead, the modules are seeding the downstream lines with aerobic microorganisms, keeping the lines free and clear of FOG buildup. 216-906-1066; www.imet.net
