Lift station Monthly Maintenance

 

Pump Efficiency measures volume pumped per energy unit (KWHr or KVAH). This is a more effective measurement as it also provides the financial impact of deteriorating pumps, letting the organization know the cost of the problems.

 

 

We offer monthly maintenance agreements for pump reading. Our wonderful staff can prepare formal agreements for this service. All you have to do is call our office 305.620.7005!

Hydro-Inspection of lines

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primarily used in your main line and kitchen lines, high pressure jetting can be used to clear those really tough clogs.This same process is very effective for clearing roots, dirt and debris from irrigation and storm lines that have become impacted from tree intrusions or just lack of preventative maintenance.  We have the experience to clean those stubborn pool drains, deck drains, driveway drains and irrigations drainage lines.

How does a grease trap work?

 

The first thing that you will notice when you install your grease trap is that it is not added directly to the drain of the sink or appliance that it is filtering. There is a flow control valve that keeps the water from reaching the grease trap too quickly before the trap itself. Another thing that may catch your eye is that there is no actual screen used to filter the FOG and debris out of the water.

 The distance between the drains and the grease trap is specifically used to cool the water on its way to the trap. As the water cools, there are two principles at work; the first is that food debris sinks, and the second is that FOG floats. The flow control will keep the water from washing the debris from the trap during times of faster flow.

 The grease trap is a well that keeps the floating oils at the top of the water from passing through by making the water fill the well. There is a wall that travels part of the way down the well on the input side so that the water needs to pass under it to exit through the drain. The FOG is blocked from traveling to the drain by the wall (because it floats), and the larger food debris sinks to the bottom of the trap and cannot travel up to the drain on the other side of the wall.

Pumping out Grease traps

Grease Traps

 

Restaurant and foodservice kitchens produce a lot of waste grease which is present in the drain lines from the various sinks dishwashers and cooking equipment such as ovens and commercial woks. If not removed the grease will congeal within the sewer and cause blockages and back-ups.

Method

When the outflow from the kitchen sink enters the grease trap, the solid food particles sink to the bottom while the lighter grease and oil floats to the top. The relatively grease-free water is then fed into the normal septic system. The food solids at the bottom and floating oil and grease must be periodically removed in a similar manner as with septic tank pumping. A traditional grease trap is not a food disposal unit. Unfinished food must be scraped into the garbage or food recycling bin. Milkshakes, gravy, sauces and food solids must be scraped off the dishes before they enter the sink or dishwasher. To try to maintain some degree of efficiency there has been a trend to specify larger and larger traps. Unfortunately, providing a large tank for the effluent to stand also means that food waste scraps also have time to settle to the bottom of the tank, further reducing the available volume and adding to the clean out problem. Also, rotting food contained within an interceptor breaks down producing toxic waste. This attacks mild steel and concrete materials resulting in "rot out" on the other hand Polyethylene has acid resisting properties. A bigger interceptor is not a better interceptor, in most cases having multiple interceptors In series will separate grease much better. Because it will have been in the trap for some time, grease collected in this way will have been contaminated and is unsuitable for further use. This kind of grease is referred to as brown grease.

What are lift stations used for?

 

Lift Stations

Sewage lift/pump stations are used for pumping wastewater or sewage from a lower to higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for gravity flow and/or when the use of gravity conveyance will result in excessive excavation and higher construction costs.
