Details of the Technology Offer

Grease Trap Saver is a modular retrofit system that transforms legacy grease trap infrastructure into high-efficiency, fuel-grade grease recovery units—unlocking circular economy potential in commercial kitchens, food courts, and high-volume restaurants.

???? Technology Overview

Grease Trap Saver operates as an inline, non-invasive upgrade compatible with most standard grease traps. Its patented architecture combines sediment diversion, emulsified grease separation, and integrated containment—all calibrated to optimize the yield of recoverable yellow grease.

Core Components:

  • Smart Aerator – Targets free-floating FOG, boosting phase separation efficiency and disinfection
  • High-Durability Extractor – Captures grease without interrupting kitchen operations or drainage flow
  • Monitoring Camera and Level Detector– Enables quick inspection and measurement

The system requires no plumbing changes and installs in less a day, with no staff training required. It’s designed for back-of-house integration, with scalable modules to fit traps from 1000+ gallons.

⚙️ Performance and ROI Metrics

  • Yellow Grease Recovery: Up to 98% of trap-contained FOG, qualifying as feedstock for biofuel production
  • Hauling Reduction: 90% fewer grease trap cleaning annually, lowering carbon footprint and operational spend
  • Overflow Prevention: Cuts overflow incidents by 100%, mitigating fines and plumbing service costs
  • Financial Payback: ROI within 6–18 months, depending on kitchen volume and grease resale rates and 50% savings for kitchens after that. Plus income stream from grease resale.

The system’s yield has been validated through independent food-service operations.

????️ Regulatory Compatibility

  • Meets U.S. FOG compliance standards
  • Validated through Miami-Dade ordinance reform
  • Engineered for seamless integration with inspection protocols and reporting systems
  • Supports ESG disclosures and LEED green building certifications

???? Market Applications

Grease Trap Saver is ideal for:

  • Multi-location food chains and QSRs
  • Institutional kitchens (schools, prisons, hospitals)
  • Airports, stadiums, and large-volume food courts
  • Municipal and industrial waste infrastructure upgrades

This technology doesn’t just protect drains—it delivers measurable environmental and economic value while preparing grease trap infrastructure for the future of sustainability regulation and resource circularity.

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.
