IMET® Pre-Treats Camp Grease Interceptor and Seeds Downstream Septic System with Aerobic Microorganisms

At Chewonki (an internationally recognized environmental education nonprofit in Wiscasset, Maine), heavy grease loading from kitchen operations was overwhelming the site’s grease interceptor and septic system, creating thick bio-solids buildup and frequent pumping needs.

IMET installed two aerobic biological modules directly in the grease interceptor, rapidly breaking down fats, oils, and grease while seeding the downstream septic system with beneficial aerobic microbes. Within two days the heavy FOG layer disappeared, and since installation in 2021 the interceptor has sustained no FOG build up and required no pumping, while septic tank pumping frequency has been reduced by 50%.
