Food Processing

A grease interceptor overflow in a food processing plant can cause severe damage to your image and brand.

The #1 cause of sewage spills is grease build up in the sewer system

The projected annual range for SSO-caused illnesses at recognized beaches in the U.S. was 2,269 to 3,669 illnesses per year (EPA, 2004)

There are about 19,500 sewer systems nationwide (United States) designed to handle an average daily flow of roughly 50 billion gallons of raw sewage.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that there are over 40,000 sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) each year

6 ways the FOG Monitor Smart Meter will benefit your food processing and manufacturing plant

Savings

Optimized grease interceptor pumping schedules can reduce costs.

Brand Image

Protect your company’s brand image from the aftermath of a publicized sewer backup due to grease blockages.

Regulation Compliance

Improve compliance levels with local sewer and environmental ordinances.

Production Metrics

Gain insight on grease output of specific food production runs.

Avoid Backups

Reduce the likelihood of costly plant shut downs due to sewer backups.

Sustainability

Invest in technology that promotes more efficient monitoring and management of grease waste products.

FOG Monitor is the world’s first wireless smart meter monitoring solution for grease interceptors!

Riptide Tek is introducing FOG Monitor – a new smart meter technology which will let you know when a grease interceptor is full and ready to be pumped. This technology allows liquid handling customers to automatically improve efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of their FOG management process.

The FOG Monitor smart meter determines interceptor FOG and sludge levels and wirelessly send the information to a display panel showing exactly how much material is present.

The display will send out an alert when the FOG level has reached a pre-set level and that a pump-out is require. Saving the FSE pumping costs from frequent pump-outs and damages due to overflows.

Sustainability

The smart-meter determines interceptor FOG and sludge levels and informs facility managers, pumpers/haulers and enforcement officials when a pump-out is needed. It records grease and sludge level data, and displays level data on a monitor panel showing exactly how much material is present in real time.
