Abstract
An apparatus for treating greasy waste fluids comprises a fluid inlet which receives the waste fluids, and a waste filtering device positioned downstream from the fluid inlet; the waste filtering device is so configured as to retain at least a portion of the particulate matters contained in the waste fluids. The apparatus further comprises a compartment which is so configured as to receive a slow-releasing grease treating formulation. Also, the apparatus comprises a fluid outlet positioned downstream from the compartment. Furthermore, the compartment is so positioned in a flow path defined between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet as to contact the waste fluids.
Claims45
An apparatus for treating greasy waste fluids and drain pipe networks comprising:
- a fluid inlet for receiving the waste fluids;
- a waste filtering device comprising a filtering basket covered with a filtering medium, the filtering basket comprising a resilient resonating frame configured for receiving the filtering medium in a stretched manner, the waste filtering device being for positioning downstream from the fluid inlet and being configured for retaining at least a portion of particulate matters contained in the waste fluids;
- a compartment;
- a solid or semi-solid slow-dissolving bio-cake in the compartment, the bio-cake comprising a slow-releasing grease treating formulation;
- and
- a fluid outlet positioned downstream from the compartment and connected to a drain pipe network;
- wherein the compartment is positioned in a flow path defined between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet for contacting the waste fluids with the bio-cake resulting in the gradual release of the grease treating formulation for treating the drain pipe network from greasy matters.

- a compartment so configured as to receive slow-releasing grease treating formulation;
- a fluid outlet positioned downstream from the compartment;
- an inflow valve located downstream from the fluid inlet and upstream from the waste filtering device;
- the inflow valve being so configured as to selectively close the fluid inlet;
- and
- a fluid deflector located downstream from the inflow valve and upstream from the waste filtering device;
- wherein the compartment is positioned in a flow path defined between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet for contacting the waste fluids.
A system for treating greasy waste fluids and drain pipe networks, comprising:
- a reservoir having a bottom provided with a fluid outlet connected to a drain pipe network and a false-bottom including a drain assembly;
- a waste filtering device comprising a filtering basket covered with a filtering medium, the filtering basket comprising a resilient resonating frame configured for receiving the filtering medium in a stretched manner, the waste filtering device being for positioning downstream of the drain assembly;
- a compartment;
- and
- a solid or semi-solid slow-dissolving bio-cake in the compartment, the bio-cake comprising a slow-releasing grease treating formulation;
- wherein a) the waste filtering device is for removing a portion of particulate matters present in the waste fluids flowing from the reservoir to the drain pipe network and b) the compartment is so positioned in a flow path defined between the drain assembly and the fluid outlet for contacting the waste fluids with the bio-cake resulting in the gradual release of the grease treating formulation for treating the drain pipe network from greasy matters.
