Summary of the technology

Grease Trap Saver is a plug-and-play retrofit that transforms standard commercial kitchen grease traps into onsite micro-processing units. It solves three major problems: grease overflow and compliance failures, inefficient waste hauling, and the loss of fuel-grade resource potential.
Once installed, the system automatically separates, stabilizes, and stores high-value grease for downstream use—without altering plumbing or disrupting kitchen operations. Validated by municipal codification in Miami-Dade, it reduces environmental risk, cuts hauling costs, and unlocks circular economy benefits at the source.
No overhaul. No guesswork. Just clean-tech infrastructure that works.

How It Works
The system integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure with no need for plumbing overhauls. Once installed, it automatically separates grease from wastewater, stabilizes it to prevent spoilage, and stores it in a secure container for collection or processing. The unit operates autonomously and requires minimal maintenance.

Validation & Readiness
Grease Trap Saver has been codified by municipal ordinance in Miami-Dade County, demonstrating regulatory acceptance and scalability. It’s currently at TRL 7–8, with successful field demonstrations and pilot readiness for franchise operators, municipalities, and sustainability partners.

Impact Highlights

  • Reduces overflow incidents by up to 100%
  • Cuts hauling frequency by 90%
  • Recovers up to 98% of fuel-grade grease onsite
  • Enables compliance with local FOG (Fats, Oils, Grease) regulations
  • Supports ESG goals and carbon reduction targets

About Grease Saver

At the core of Grease Saver’s mission is the Grease Trap Saver—a retrofit innovation that turns standard commercial kitchen grease traps into onsite micro-processing units. Without altering plumbing or daily operations, this compact system extracts fuel-grade yellow grease directly from wastewater, cutting hauling volume and unlocking a valuable revenue stream.
More than a product, Grease Trap Saver solves three persistent challenges:
- Environmental compliance risk – by reducing overflow and trap failure
- Carbon-heavy grease collection – through fewer pickups and cleaner disposal
- Lost resource recovery – by transforming kitchen waste into feedstock for biofuel
Its modular design fits existing traps in minutes, requiring no disruption while delivering measurable ROI. It’s been validated through Miami-Dade ordinance reform and engineered to meet strict municipal and franchise regulations.
Grease Trap Saver is not just a device—it’s a bridge to sustainable infrastructure, circular economy goals, and cleaner urban operations.
