 Supply examples and customer opinions Greastrator diffusion pipe

Aeration was introduced, but the problem of foul odors going into
the dining area existed. After the introduction of a Greastrator diffu-
sion pipe system, foul odors disappeared completely, and water
became very clean. When the shop is open, the system is stopped
to prevent oil content from flowing out. For that reason, oil balls
somewhat occur, but they are easy to remove and do not smell bad.

Aeration and purification equipment with oil and fat decomposing bac-
teria developed by some National University were introduced, but
filamentous fungi grew, and complaints were made by customers
because of foul odors and sludge. After the introduction of the Greastra-
tor diffusion pipe system, the problem was solved - its effect surprised
me. After installation, in the middle of summer, a small number of
filamentous fungi grew once. However, just by increasing the air volume

The school meal supply center in question was located next to the
connecting corridor of the adjacent school. Before installation,
students and other people suffered from awful smells, but after instal-
lation, such smells disappeared, and it became very easy to clean the
grease trap. Thanks to this, the system was recommended and sup-
plied to two more school meal supply centers in the same prefecture.
In both centers, the system is being kept in good condition.

Greastrator diffusion pipe mechanism Greastrator diffusion pipe

Offensive odors caused by putrefaction can be prevented

by running the Greastrator diffusion pipe system
during periods in which wastewater does not flow,
so as to prevent oil content from being swept away.

Greastrator diffusion pipe mechanism

Air from the air pump is emitted through the nozzle as a high
speed air blast.

Water and sludge at the bottom are naturally swept up by an

air lift effect.

With special shaped fins newly developed by using fluid

dynamics, air and water are vigorously mixed together to
generate nao air bubbles and circulating currents.
(Patent pending)

When circulating currents are generated, microscopic air

bubbles are also supplied to the bottom of the water tank to
maximally activate purifying water.

Q. Why is it that ordinary diffusion pipes
don't work effectively?

It seems that ordinary diffusion pipes do not

work effectively, often for the above reasons.
microscopic bubbles cannot be generated,
water cannot be stirred,
diffusion pipes are clogged,
sludge settles at the bottom.
It seems that ordinary diffusion pipes do not
work effectively, often for the above reasons. Sludge accumulates at the bottom Oxygen spreads over the entire tank and
andbecomes anaerobic. sludge does not settle at the bottom.

 The product can be returned if it does not work Greastrator diffusion pipe
effectively in any of the following conditions.

Greastrator diffusion pipe definition

The Greastrator diffusion pipe is a device to prevent unpleasant odors generated from grease traps, prevent insect pests
from being attracted by putrid odors and causing infestations, and reduce cleaning frequency. In addition, when using this
product, water viscosity becomes lower, and that will help prevent clogs in main pipes. (* In principle, use the product
during periods in which wastewater is not flowing in.)
The product also has purifying capabilities such as the capability to decompose oil and fat. However,
it does not guarantee specific values for oil content, BOD,and SS, considering the relationship between the grease trap
capacity and the wastewater load (volumetric load).

Usage conditions for achieving normal performance

The product must be used for a grease trap for a water depth of 300mm or more.
The product must be used for a grease trap with a width (short side) of 450mm or more.
Basically, the product must be used for a grease trap with the following feature: For the wastewater flow, the flow
rate does not exceed the oil-water separation speed (0.9m/minute).
Only OEC Alpha K.K. purifying water must be used as a bio- or washing liquid.

Expected effect and other conditions

Odors -1 / For foul odors from the grease trap, maintain it at a level that does not make workers and customers feel uncomfortable.
-2 / The aim is to prevent the generation of putrid odors such as hydrogen sulfide, propionic acid, butyric acid, and acetic acid.
Cleaning -1 / Clean the residue basket as needed so that it does not become full.
-2 / In a kitchen where a lot of oil content flows in, oil balls may be formed on the water surface. Remove them with a tool such as a net.
Clogging -1 / When the pipe diameter of the effluent pipe is not appropriate, or when the inflow exceeds the oil-water separation speed
of of the grease trap (0.9m/minute) even temporarily, whether there is a Greastrator diffusion pipe or not, clogs in the piping may occur.
pipes -2 / Non-heat-treated starchy powder (flour, starch, powder for deep-fried food) is called -starch. It is refractory and settles at
the bottom. Make
