IMET Grease Module (IGM - Lift Station)
“We appreciate the efforts put forth by you and the representatives at IMET to coordinate a successful trial run of the IMET reactors at the Carrington Court Pump Station.
We were surprised at how well the reactors performed compared to other treatment systems and chemical additives we have tested in the past. We anticipate the use of this reactor will significantly reduce the maintenance cost related to the grease build up and removal at this pump station.”

“I wanted to write to you and update you on our status at PS 50 where the IMET system was installed. Prior to the installation of your system on 2/27/25, PS 50 used to continually get a layer of organic mat on top of the liquid in the pump station wet well. This mat was problematic because it would interfere with our level floats in the wet well and would have to be cleaned out periodically. We believe this mat was caused by the addition of Calcium Nitrate which was added up stream of the wet well to help reduce hydrogen sulfide odor issues.
This pump station is located in a highly populated area near Lake Erie. Odor complaints were common in the area of this pump station. Since the installation of the IMET system, we were able to reduce the amount of Calcium Nitrate being added up stream because it severely reduced the hydrogen sulfide odor. Also, the organic mat no longer exists. We have not had to clean out the station once since the install.
Through the month of August, we have been able to use approximately 2,470 less gallons of Calcium Nitrate up stream of the station, which has led to approximately $6700 savings in chemical costs. We had one minor odor issue this summer, however, which is a big win for us compared to what we would normally deal with in that area.
Effective 9/2/25, we have started a trial and shut off the Calcium Nitrate feed completely up stream to see if we even need it at all. We were not able to do that earlier this year as users are located near Lake Erie and are a very tourist related area and could not risk odor issues until the inflow of people slowed down for the season. We are hoping that we can reduce even more or eliminate the need for Calcium Nitrate all together up stream of this station.”

“As the Headman of Kösedere, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you. It gives me great pleasure to know that this is one of the first village implementations of this wastewater treatment system in Turkey.
I had not expected to see the system operate so well while consuming so little energy. I would like to thank the team who installed the system so efficiently. The difference between the raw and treated water is so much, and the treated water is so odorless and clear. As compared to other wastewater treatment facilities, this is so clean and odorless that I recommend it to all the coastal areas where there are a lot of tourists.
Cutting my letter short, I thank all those involved with this plant and express my desire that its implementation spreads around the country.”

“The Boston Road pump station, owned by the City of Broadview Heights, was designed and installed in 1995. The pump station was built to serve a potential of 5,000 residential units. Initially, only 500 residential units were served. As rural parcels developed and the City grew, the pump station came to serve 3,000 residential units.
The maintenance issues with the pump station involved odor control and grease residue in the wet wells. Our initial maintenance program required wet well cleaning twice each year to remove grease, in addition to the introduction of chemicals into the wet well to control odor.
The chemical drip system was inefficient and costly, and the wet well cleaning was less than acceptable.
I contacted Paul Zakriski of IMET Corporation, and he proposed a microbial system. The microbial system puts emphasis on the reduction of odor and grease. The system is self-generating and continuously kept the wet well water at a more acceptable level of clarity.
In a short period of time, odor complaints lessened and there was no evidence of grease in the wet wells. The walls of the wet well are much cleaner, the cake layer is gone, and the clarity of the effluent has increased as a result of the units being placed in the pump station. The system works well in all weather conditions and seasons, regardless of temperature.
I feel this is a far better way to treat sewage and to keep both the wet wells and the force main free of substantial odor. Personnel of IMET Corporation have been regularly available during the whole process, from installation to maintenance, and I’m very happy with their management and product.”

“It is with pleasure that I write this testimonial as an endorsement verifying the successful results, we experienced at Trinity College following the installation of the IMET Grease Trap Module.
We are a professional service, always following the grease trap manufacturer’s best practices in operating and maintaining our systems.
However, we were still experiencing problems: heavy grease build-up, sometimes resulting in spillovers outside the grease trap onto the floor, significant bad odors all the time, and frequent, difficult, lengthy clean-outs of the grease trap.
Since the installation of the IMET Grease Trap Module we have no grease build-up (solid cake) in our grease trap, the bad odors are practically non-existent, and clean-outs are easier and only needed for solids mistakenly entering the system.
The IMET team was knowledgeable, accessible, ready to answer questions and helped to make an easy, uncomplicated installation trouble-free. IMET continues to follow our progress and we plan to purchase additional IMET systems. I can recommend both the IMET Grease Trap Module product and the IMET team as a good solution to avoid these common problems.”

Ciragan Palace Kempinski is a luxury hotel on the Bosphorous, Istanbul, part of Kempinski hotel chain.
We have been using IMET grease disposal systems in our grease interceptors since July 2011. First we used IMET systems at our largest Pumping Station. Being satisfied with its performance (odor prevention and facilitation of grease disposal), we installed at two of our oil/grease traps, serving the main restaurants of the hotel.
These applications helped us dispose the FOG (fat, oil and grease). We understand that the grease is broken into smaller molecules, which help clear the effluent. By implementing these systems we expect to end the clogging of pipes and avoid their expensive and inconvenient replacement.
We as management and the staff operating such facilities are happy about the performance of the systems. We plan to employ these systems at more oil traps at the hotel.

“The septic field for our property, with two 1,000 gallon tanks, was installed in 1978. We had to regularly clean out the system and we were experiencing intermittent odor problems.
The leach-field could no longer handle the load from our septic tank and the lawn became plugged emitting a foul sulfur like odor. We were told by the city that we would have to either install a new, expensive mound system in our backyard, or cut down a large group of trees and create a new leach-field on our property to deal with this problem. Both choices were not ideal, very expensive, and the thought of cutting down trees was not an option we wanted to pursue.
IMET installed its Residential Septic Remediator directly into our septic system. The installation was quick and required minimal digging and no construction of any kind. They simply lowered the unit in and turned it on. I was very surprised at how small the aeration pump was, and I was even happier when I found out how little energy it consumed; about the same as a 50 watt light bulb.
Within a couple of days of installing the IMET system, we began to notice the odor in the tanks dissipate to nearly nothing, and the water clarity go from cloudy gray to clear, clean looking water.
Within the first year of installation, the interior of the septic tanks became completely free of sludge and organic matter, and no odor was detectible throughout the field area and in the tanks. The leach-field (our backyard) was lush and green again and more importantly it was no longer wet and muddy. The IMET Residential Septic Remediator had also unplugged our leach-field.
More importantly, all test readings for the tanks, distribution box and field locations were consistently found to be within acceptable ranges resulting in us keeping our current septic system (with the IMET system installed) and not having to install a mound system or cut down any of our trees.”

IMET Remediation Module (IRM - Residential Septic)
“We have lived in our home in Hinckley, for 35 years and have had a septic system in our back yard which flows into a filter bed, then discharges into an open swale about 80 ft long. In years past we would experience foul odors coming from the swale that created a nuisance not only to our family, but also on occasion to the neighbors. There was nothing we could do about it, so we lived with it as a consequence of being a septic system owner.
In 2016 I heard about the IMET system and its ability to eliminate odors from septic systems, while also treating the wastewater and keeping filter beds and leach fields clean. We installed the IMET system in the summer of 2016 and have had a great experience, with no odors coming from our swale in that 2-year span. Our filter bed remains unplugged and we have not had to do any maintenance on the system. The small air pump that runs the IMET system is very quiet, and we’ve covered it with a fake rock, so it blends right into our back yard. We are excited to have found this technology and we have been telling our neighbors that they should also install an IMET system in their septic systems.”
