Whether you are a major hotel operator, restaurateur or an owner/manager of a B&B or public house, complying with relevant building regulations (drainage and waste disposal) is becoming an increasingly important area of environmental sustainability. This affects all operators of commercial kitchens who can now be heavily fined if they are not compliant.
Legislation
Simply put, operating an effective means of grease removal like ecobug® grease degrading dosing equipment solution or fitting a grease trap is a statutory requirement in the UK under Part H of the British building Regulations.
Part H states under item 2.21 - "Drainage serving kitchens in commercial hot food premises should be fitted with a grease separator complying with BS EN 1825-1: 2004 and designed in accordance with BS EN 1825-2:2002 or other effective means of grease removal."

The founders of ecobug® were instrumental in gaining changes to the regulation to incorporate biological dosing treatments. ecobug® has a proven track record of performing as a stand-alone solution or as a compliment to existing grease traps installations; thus, negating the cost of maintenance and clear out of the traps. Read some of our interesting case studies.
We cater for commercial enterprises large or small. We can provide full installation instructions, technical support and product supply to your engineering departments. To assist smaller owner managed operations we have devised an easy to use DIY starter kit.

ecobug® Peristaltic Pump
As most of the FOG's comes from dishwashers and sinks you need to put the ecobug® setup up stream of these - see downloadable instructions. The peristaltic pump is a positive displacement pump, used to inject ecobug® grease degrader in an ongoing dosage when attached to the furthest sink unit from the mains drainage. The process is called peristalsis and used in many biological medical systems. (a flexible 9mm tube fitted inside a circular pump casing, this inhibits any contamination before entering the sink unit drainage system.
An average commercial kitchen sink unit will use daily a 160ml of ecobug® grease degrader ongoing dosage, which provides circa 4 months of operational use from a 20 litre container.
