My building drains are not connected to main sewage. Can I use GreasePaK with a remote aerobic or anaerobic (Septic) sewage system?
Generally, GreasePaK fluid is helpful to these systems, and some technical detail is provided below. For more advice, contact Mechline. Aerobic Systems These tend to have three sections, a primary tank, an aerobic zone and a tertiary tank. The primary tank is where larger solids settle out, whereas the aerobic zone is where aerobic bacteria break down any organic solids. Aerobic conditions are maintained by the introduction of forced air or by the rotation of disks within the effluent. The tertiary tank allows for any final settlement before water is discharged. If grease enters this system untreated it will quickly cause major overload to the primary tank, as it tends to float rather than settle out. Left unchecked this grease can then foul the aerobic zone either by coating the filter disks or blocking air gaps in the filter medium. This can result in severe system failure and all that implies. The introduction of GreasePaK fluid into the effluent stream quickly breaks up the complex
