Grease Traps,Interceptors - Most grease traps regardless of size have the same configuration and therefore, two baffles and three sections. In perfect working order the first section should have a very thin crust of oil and grease, the second should be almost clear and the third very clear.
I might add there are very few that are working correctly. The following is how ENZYMATIC can and will rectify that for you.

ENZYMATIC DIGESTION
Otherwise known as enzymolysis, being the decomposition or conversion of contaminants by one or more enzymes.

In the first step of the cleaning mechanism, ENZYMATIC displaces air from the liquid-solid interface and thoroughly wets the soiled surface. This is followed by a number of spontaneous processes leading to emulsification of the contaminants. The enzyme molecules then react bio catalytically to digest complex oil, grease and natural fat-bound substances present in this emulsified form.

The Bio catalytic process is simply understood in terms of the 'key lock' hypothesis where the active sites on large enzyme molecules are envisaged as locks into which the contaminant molecules - or keys - are inserted and subsequently digested. Being potent catalysts, the enzymes in ENZYMATIC are unchanged throughout the cleaning process and take part in the reaction over and over again until all the oily contaminant is
consumed hence the unsurpassed efficiency of enzymatic cleaners.
For example, when treated with ENZYMATIC a contaminant layer based on oil or grease (of petroleum or fatty acid origin) is converted to lower molecular weight compounds. The latter are easily biodegraded in a natural environment to fully neutralise end products. The enzymolysis also proceeds when the layer of greasy contaminant is embedded with insoluble organic or inorganic debris (cellulose, clay, soot, inorganic oxides, etc).
There are many organisms naturally present in traps and lines. Few affect animal and vegetable fats and oils. In order to deal effectively with grease biologically, it is necessary to induce a population shift from undesirable to desirable organisms (i.e., to dominate microbial activity). Bioaugumentation with ENZYMATIC accomplishes this dominance.

Grease is digested by ENZYMATIC and converted to fatty acids, glycerol's, carbon dioxide and water. This process is called solubilisation. It inherently prevents rebinding of the grease recreating the problem further down the line - as can happen when using chemicals and solvents. Some of the other by-products of solubilisation become nutrients for other bacteria present to further reduce accumulation.

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT...... A biological process takes time. ENZYMATIC is not an instant answer, but it is a lasting answer. ENZYMATIC will first soften grease.

Normally, within 30 days, pipes will be cleaned and ENZYMATIC will form a biological coating which will prevent further grease accumulation. Unless traps are undersized for their loadings, sufficient digestion will occur to eliminate the need for pumping.

Odours are treated more quickly. Normally present bacteria produce odours while decomposing nutrients. Hydrogen sulphide is the most infamous. ENZYMATIC does not produce malodorous compounds. Rather, it uses them in its unique metabolic process thus an advantageous synergistic relationship is formed.
