Problems with drainpipes are unavoidable and requires tedious processes to solve. The buildup of Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG), insoluble uric acid crystals, breeding of drain flies and unnecessary odor are commonly encountered by kitchens, urinals, and grease traps, to name a few. Common or traditional methods do not solve these problems. Traditional methods such as surfactants E.g. soap, detergents and degreasers, combined with hot water, allows grease to slip through drain lines. However, inevitable cooling and dilution return the grease molecule to its original form.

 

Caustics, chemicals and solvents that chemically alters the glycerol bond of the grease molecule, emulsifying the grease and sending it further down the drainage system and later on re-coagulates. This method not only causes expensive damage to pipes, but also poses safety and health hazards.

 

Enzyme treatments temporarily solves these problems by cutting of the glycerol from the fatty acids in the grease molecule. In some cases, glycerol will re-attach to free-floating fatty acids and may soon re-form or free fatty acids coagulate together.

 

Lastly, spore-forming bacteria form spores around themselves, go into a state of suspended animation, and cannot consume in this state. It takes them 36 hours to turn into their vegetative state.
