The PL-625 Helps Reduce FOG Being Released Into a City Sewer

Problem: A fast-food restaurant located in Connecticut had a problem with fats, oils and grease being released from its grease trap into the city sewer system. The restaurant was facing heavy fines and a potential shutdown if the situation was not corrected.

Solution: The restaurant contacted Polylok’s engineering team hoping to solve their problem. Polylok recommended they install a PL-625 effluent filter in the outlet of their 2,000-gallon grease trap. The PL-625 is ideal for grease trap applications. The 1/32-inch filtration has been shown to reduce FOG by as much as 60% to 98%.

Results: The FOG was reduced to acceptable levels and the restaurant was no longer facing heavy fines or a potential shutdown. The PL-625 was easy to install and saved this restaurant thousands of dollars in potential fines and interruption of business.

The PL-625 effluent filter is ideal for grease trap applications. The filter may also be used in onsite wastewater systems that require a finer level of TSS removal. Whatever the application, Polylok has the filter for you.

The PL-625 filter provides 625 linear feet of 1/32-inch filtration that is rated for up to 8,000 gpd. It accepts 4- and 6-inch Schedule 40 pipe. The filter also features a built-in gas deflector, an automatic shut-off ball when the filter is removed, alarm accessibility, and it accepts a PVC extension handle.
