Innovations in Oil&Grease separation from kitchen wastewater.

Innovative Technologies in Oil Grease
separation(OGS) from kitchen wastewaters.

• Kitchen oil grease and food waste separators.
• Commercial kitchens, restaurants, canteens, milk
  diaries and food processing industries generate
  huge amounts of wastewater laden with solid
  wastes, grease and oil.
• If improperly disposed the wastewater can
• - clog the drainage pipe lines,
• - upset the biological process in STPs,
• and can pollute the environment.

Indian food is very unique compared to any other
cuisine from around the world. The main
distinctive factor is the unique amalgamation of
spices across different recipes. India is the
largest producer of spices around the world and
the Indian cuisine is characterized by the
extensive use of these spices, each imparting a
unique flavour and making the dish uniquely
aromatic.
 Amchur (mango powder), basil, bay leaves,
cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, cumin,
curry leaves, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, ginger,
kokum (this gives dishes a purple hue),
lemongrass, mace , mint, mustard, nutmeg,
pomegranate, poppy seeds, pepper, sesame,
tamarind, saffron, and turmeric are traditionally
used in a variety of combinations with oils, ghee
and butter in Indian food.

• What happens when an ordinary grease separator is
  used in a large Indian kitchen?
• Installing inefficient grease traps or
  interceptors is not an answer to efficient
• handling of kitchen waste.
• Indian cuisine lavishly uses a variety of spices
  with oils , ghee and butter.
• When mixed with wastewater they form a tough
  broth in the STP that becomes
• difficult to separate.
• Most brands of Grease separators available on
  the market are ill-equipped to handle the
  complex nature of wastewater produced in the
  large Indian kitchens.
• What choices a kitchen owner has in this
  scenario?
• - Either install an inefficient and labour
  oriented Grease Trap that does a poor job leading
  to clogged pipes and over-working STPs incurring
  heavy cost of power.
• Or install an imported Grease separator at
  exorbitant cost that holds the wastes which has
  to be pumped out to a disposal truck for a fee at
  regular intervals.
• Or look at other better designed alternatives.
• It has been mandated by PCBs that it is the
  responsibility of the owner or the maintenance
  contractor of such installations ,
• to treat the waste water safely before it enters
  the sewer.
• to ensure that no foul smell emerges from the
  treatment facility polluting the surrounding
  environment.

• Criteria in the selection of Grease Separator
• It is a mandatory obligation to install EN 1825
  type grease separators to ensure
• that grease , oil and solid wastes are
  effectively removed from the wastewater .
• This specifically applies to commercial kitchens
  , milk and food products industry.
• Each industry or commercial kitchen places
  unique demands on the capacity of grease
  separators, lifting equipment and piping
  installations.
• Customisation therefore calls for tailor-made
  designs to individual locations.
• Adaptable products of proper size, materials and
  design are very important for successful
  operation of such separators.
• Basics considerations in the selection of a
  separator for a given location
• Location of the kitchen or the waste generation
  point in food processing facility.
• Location of the waste treatment point like STP
  or disposal point like sewer connection.
• Whether the kitchen/waste generation point is on
  a higher or on the same plane
• wrt treatment/disposal point.
• 4. Level of separation and handling of disposal
  of separated grease and solids.

6

• Sizing and selecting the requirement of
  features of a separator.
• Number of meals served per day.
• Volume of wastewater generated per day.
• Point of disposal of wastewater to a STP or
  public sewer.
• Is full disposal of waste including wastewater,
  grease and solids aimed for.
• Is the use of a disposal truck envisaged to
  offload the entire waste.
• If partial disposal is opted , the disposal
  methods of solid and grease.
• The level of internal cleaning of the separator
  opted.
• Availability of personnel to operate and maintain
  the separator.
• The level of automation of separator operation
  required.
• Base on the above considerations the correct
  type and size of grease separator
• can be offered that will not only meet all the
  requirements fully but also offer
• unmatched performance and ease of operation and
  maintenance.
• Any mismatch between the ground situation and
  the selection of separator will
• lead to complications.
