LAKASA Biomatic Grease Interceptor

Need for Good Grease Interceptor System!

Direct discharge of greasy and oily wastewater from ADU &

Enzyme

restaurants, fast food stores, centralized food courts in LAKASA

Sink

commercial and institutional buildings as well as traditional

individual shops into the drain lines has significantly Grease Interceptor

increase pollution to server plants, rivers, lakes and other

waterways. The increasing difficulties in dealing with these
problems are in the form of frequent pipeline and manhole Semi-recessed
blockages, obnoxious and rancid odors. This calls for a ADU &
Enzyme

compulsory adoption of effective waste effluent pre- LAKASA

treatment.

LAKASA Biomatic Grease Interceptor is designed to Beam

provide an effective, hygienic and environmental friendly

solution to grease contamination. LAKASA Biomatic Pipes Pre-cast Sump
Grease Interceptor
Grease Interceptor is recommended for use in kitchens, Suspended over the floor slab
restaurants, institutions, and all types of food processing ADU &
areas, with wastewater containing grease, fats and oil Enzyme

(FOG) and solid starch. LAKASA Biomatic Grease

LAKASA

Interceptor is completed with two individual chambers to

take care both the solid waste and starch, as well as
grease and oil which are frequently exist in kitchen Pipes

To manhole/sewer

wastewater. The solid waste and starch is filtered out Grease Interceptor

effectively from the sediment trap (first chamber), while the Fully recessed underground
grease and oil is intercepted from the second chamber.
The interceptor can be used for manual removal of oil and Type of Installation
grease or used in conjunction with LAKASA Biomatic
Liquid Enzyme for waste digestion.

Specification of LAKASA Grease Interceptor

The unit is completed with two chambers and with two separate interceptor covers. The first chamber comes with
a 4.0mm dia. 7mm pitch perforated stainless steel bucket and is able to effectively filter away incoming solid
waste and starch. The second chamber is completed with a diffusing baffle at the beginning and followed with 3
big and across the interceptor body baffles which can which reinforce the interceptor structure solidity and also
effectively control the flow velocity and turbulence of incoming wastewater; the unit also c/w a enzyme dosing
connection and deep seal integral trap immediate before the outlet to intercept the grease and oil..

How LAKASA Grease Interceptor Functions

Wastewater from kitchen sink, dishwasher that contains air, grease and food particles are flushed and enters the
inlet of interceptor at high velocity. Food particles will be trapped and filtered in the stainless steel perforated
basket, leaving only greasy water to continue its journey to the next chamber. At the inlet to second chamber,
wastewater is immediately directed downward by the main deflecting baffles, at the same time allowing trapped
air bubbles to rise to the surface. The baffles will effectively reduce the velocity and turbulence of the incoming
liquid. The turbulence of the liquid flow is further reduced when the wastewater passes through the remaining
baffles. These baffles are arranged in unique positions to allow effective and efficient separation of grease, fats,
and oils from wastewater and rise above the normal established water line of the interceptor.

Sizing & Selection

(i) Check the flowrate of wastewater from each fixture.

(ii) Calculate total flowrate from all the fixtures connected to one particular grease interceptor.
(iii) Identify and assume the simultaneous discharge diversity factor for all the fixtures.
(iv) Refer to the table for sizes available and select proper interceptor of equivalent or next higher rate.

Operation and Maintenance Guide

1. Sediment trap chamber is to be cleaned up on daily basis. However, the frequency of cleaning can be once
a few days if the incoming volume is low.

2. Grease trap chamber is designed to intercept incoming grease and oil. The grease and oil which is trapped
in this chamber can be cleaned either
 by manual scoop (once a week). In this case, Grease Interceptor shall be maintained in efficient
operating condition by periodic removal of the accumulated grease. No such collected grease shall
be introduced into any drainage piping, or public or private sewer.
OR
 by biomatic liquid enzyme, which actually converts grease into water and carbon dioxide. If a
thickening of the contents is noted, with a distinct caking effect across the surface, or an
offensive, pungent odour is emitted, then gradually increase the suggested dosage rate to
compensate.
 If the contents appear to remain in a minimal semi-liquid state with little or no odour, this
indicates successful degradation of the grease. Whenever tank is cleaned, the initial dosing
procedure must be repeated.

3. With the introduction of biomatic enzyme, periodic cleaning for grease is about once every 3 months. For
manual cleaning (without using biomatic enzyme), cleaning for grease is about once a week. However, more
frequent cleaning is required when there are more activities and/or when incoming grease content is high.

4. Additional aeration system is suggested for larger size grease interceptor. The aeration pump is pre-set to
run at the right timing and duration to achieve optimum performance.

Why Biomatic Enzyme is NOT working in some cases

I. Inadequate dosage.
II. Inappropriate dosing time – the water temperature might be too high or the enzyme might have been flushed
out before it has enough time to react.
III. The grease content might be too high for biological process. In this case, manual cleaning is required once
a month or more frequent if needed.
IV. Inadequate oxygen for microbe to perform, additional aeration might be required, especially for large
interceptor.
V. Wastewater might be too acidic or contains high chlorine mixture which can kill microbes.

Wastewater from main kitchen always contain high % of grease, whereas those from hand washing sink / basin
and secondary centralized Grease Interceptor usually does not have much grease and oil.

For best performance

Characteristics
1. Follow the initial and daily dosing procedures.
2. Optimum dosing time is 1 hour after kitchen closes. Appearance : Liquid
3. Do not discharge very hot water into the interceptor Odour : Pleasantly perfumed
immediately before or immediately after dosing. pH : 8.2 – 8.8
4. Do not discharge chlorine, strong caustics, concentrated Effective pH range : 5.5 – 9.0
disinfectants, bleach or sanitizers into the interceptor. Effective temperature: 5 – 50oC
5. Do not deliberately discharge cooking oil or grease into Stability : 2 years
the interceptor

During the first few weeks of dosing operation, regular inspection of the internal condition of the interceptor
should be conducted to gauge the performance of the dosage. If a thickening of the contents is noted, with a
distinct caking effect across the surface, or an offensive, pungent odour is emitted, then gradually increase the
suggested dosage rate to compensate. If the contents appear to remain in a minimal semi-liquid state with little or
no odour, this indicates successful degradation of the grease. Whenever tank is cleaned, the initial dosing
procedure must be repeated.

Method Statement for Installation of LAKASA Biomatic Grease Interceptor, Auto-

Dosing Unit and Biomatic Enzyme

Grease Interceptor
1. Inspect unit for defects or damages and make sure it meets specified requirements (eg : model
and size).
2. Inlet & outlet is connected accordingly and properly. DO NOT INSTALL INTERCEPTOR
BACKWARDS. Place at a firm & balance concrete base. Install interceptor as close as possible to
the source of fats, oils and grease (FOG) laden water. This minimizes unprotected pipe, and FOG
separates best when effluent is relatively hot.
3. Install interceptor sitting on floor, partially recessed or flush-to-floor, making sure there is enough
room to allow for easy maintenance of the unit. (Room for cover to be removed and sediment
bucket to be taken out for cleaning).
4. INTERCEPTOR MUST BE PLACED ON A FLAT, SOLID SURFACE TO SUPPORT THE
BOTTOM! When suspending interceptor from floor above, all units must be fully supported on
bottom with a flat surface strong enough to support the weight of the unit when full of water/FOG.
All units must be independently supported to avoid stress on fittings.
5. WHEN INSTALLING IN THE GROUND, Construct a solid manhole sump for housing the
interceptor. Manhole sump cover should normally be higher a bit the floor level OR construct a
drain surrounding the cover to channel away most rain water and prevent in from entering the
sump. The sump should also allocate four corner water exit at lowest possible 4 sides corners for
the in case splashed into rain water to escape and seep into the earth outside the sump.
6. FILL INTERCEPTOR WITH WATER AND INSTALL LID BEFORE BACK FILLING. It is
recommended to use light sand for back fill. Be sure backfill is free of sharp stones and foreign
matter to avoid punctures. (DO NOT PUT SAND IN INTEREPTOR!)
7. INTERCEPTOR filled with clean water until static water level and is ready for operation.

Auto-Dosing Unit (ADU)

1. To mount the ADU to wall with a lockable cabinet.
2. To connect ADU to a 13 Amp power point.
3. To set current time and dosing time (set 1 hour after kitchen close).
4. To set the dosing duration according to recommended dosage. The unit is running at a speed of
7 ml/min.
5. To connect a short flexible hose to enzyme bottle. Use steel weight and strainer provided to
ensure the hose reaches the bottom of the bottle.
6. To connect a long hose (with conduit pipe) to the grease interceptor. To use the connector
provided to join the connection.
7. To switch to manual dose to ensure pump head is rotating and enzyme is sucked up and delivered
to interceptor.
8. To switch to “Auto” and the ADU will run automatically according to the preset time.

Biomatic Enzyme
1. Avoid direct sunlight and should be kept inside the ADU cabinet.
2. When biomatic enzyme level is running low, replenish and top up as soon as possible.
