Sewage waste digestive bacteria and enzymes are incorporated into a slow release material and delivered to the site of the waste to digest the solid waste. The slow release material is made heavy so the enzymes and bacteria will be delivered to the sludge in the bottom of a sewage digester chamber and made fat soluble so that the enzymes and bacteria will be delivered to the grease in the waste system to be digested. This selective delivery system prevents the enzymes and bacteria from being diluted in grey water rendering them less effective and discharged from the sewage system without digesting waste.

An oil/grease removal assembly includes a container having an inlet to receive effluent from a kitchen sink. A drain connection spaced above the container bottom defines a static water level for contained liquid and connects to a sewer. A baffle extends downwardly below the static water level so water can flow below the baffle to the drain, while retaining floating oil/grease. Means intermittently raise the liquid level in the container above the static water level. Floating oil/grease can flow out through a port when the liquid level in the container is raised above the static water level.

A process and apparatus for the treatment of septage, particularly grease trap waste, is disclosed. The inventive process will convert the septage into Biosolids (sludge) and water dischargeable to the environment. The treated septage achieves pathogen reduction, and reduced vector attraction. Treatment of septage by pasteurization causes the destruction of harmful pathogens. Pasteurization of septage having high water content provides for even temperature elevation and distribution of heat within the thermal mass of the septage allowing for consistent pathogen destruction. An alkaline compound is utilized to form a filter cake from the solids fraction of the pasteurized septage preventing vector attraction, while producing a beneficial bio-solid. The liquid fraction of the septage is treated by biological process allowing for its discharge into the environment.

A support base 46 of support means 40 is disposed in the interior of a grease trap 10 at a position higher than a water level 36b. A recovery bag 42 is attached to the support means 40 and plural layers of bag portions 68a, 68b, and 68c of the recovery bag 42 are put on the support base 46. The bag portions 68a, 68b, and 68c are each formed of a material which permits the adhesion of oil thereto and a large number of water passing holes 72 are formed in each of the bag portions 68a, 68b, and 68c. Drainage is introduced inside the innermost one of the plural layers of bag portions 68a, 68b, and 68c and is passed through the bag portions 68a, 68b, and 68c in this order, allowing refuse and oil to adhere to the bag portions. In this way the work of replacing the recovery bag 42 can be simplified and the amount of oil accumulated within the grease trap 10 can be decreased.

A process for the treatment of septage, particularly grease trap waste, is disclosed. The inventive process converts septage into sludge usable as a bio-fuel. The conversion of the septage makes it desirable as an alternative fuel source, as the sludge has a high BTU value due to the large percentage of grease in the septage.

A method to process grease trap waste or refuse and remove organic matter, and reclaim fats, oils, and grease (FOG) found in it. The process is initiated after dewatering the grease trap material to increase its concentration; the resulting sludge is then mixed with a solvent. The dissolved fractions of fats, oils, and grease are separated using mechanical methods. The solids are washed to further remove any traces of fats, oils, and grease. The solids, substantially free from organic content, are dried to remove any water and/or organic matter remaining, rendering inert solids that can be safely disposed of according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. All fats, oils, and, grease fractions are separated, containing no inert materials, and no water. The solvent is recuperated (recycled), allowing it to be used over again. The recuperated grease fractions, highly pure and homogeneous, constitute an excellent raw material for further oleo-chemical processes and applications.
