Condition of grease trap after ozone purification

FOG is broken down, leaving the water in a more fluid, manageable state

Shortly after installation, the thick layer of FOG (scum) covering the water surface is suppressed, transforming the water into a milky-white, fluid state. The distinctive foul odor is also alleviated, helping the grease trap maintain its original separation function.

We often hear comments such as: “We were able to significantly reduce our cleaning frequency" and “The daily mental burden has decreased."

Main Installation Sites: Nurseries, school lunch centers, hotel kitchens, major restaurant chains, care facilities, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grease Traps and Ozone

Yes, by automating grease trap cleaning, the frequency of manual cleaning can be significantly reduced. The powerful oxidative decomposition capability of ozone prevents FOG from forming thick lumps (scum) and liquefies it for discharge. As a result, the daily or weekly “scooping of FOG" becomes almost unnecessary, and the frequency of vacuum pump-outs by professional contractors can be drastically cut, leading to optimized cleaning costs.

No law prohibits this type of installation, so it can be used with confidence. Confirmations with various authorities in Japan (e.g., Chuo Ward Health Center, Tokyo Metropolitan Building Sanitation Management) have verified that no laws prohibit the installation itself. *While authorities recommend the introduction of “three-chamber grease traps" for food processing plants, adding this device does not contradict that recommendation.

It is a system that purifies grease traps in commercial facilities by releasing ozone air. The strong oxidizing power of ozone simultaneously decomposes FOG, sanitizes, and deodorizes, drastically improving the drainage environment.

Ozone directly breaks the molecular bonds of FOG through oxidation, decomposing them into water-soluble substances and gases. This prevents oil from solidifying into a sludgy state and keeps it fluid, allowing for smooth drainage.

It is highly effective. It not only suppresses the breeding of bacteria that cause the odors but also oxidatively decomposes the odor molecules themselves, fundamentally resolving the putrid smells drifting into kitchens and dining areas.

Unlike bio-agents, there is no hassle of establishing bacteria cultures, and unlike filters, it does not incur frequent replacement and disposal costs. Since ozone is generated from the air, it continues to exert a stable purification effect 24/7 with just the flip of a switch.

Although it depends on the installation environment, the accumulation of scum is significantly suppressed by the FOG decomposition effect. The surface oil film becomes fluid, and bad odors practically disappear, enabling easy cleaning that involves simply “scooping with a net."

Yes, it is possible. Because FOG is less likely to turn into sludge, you can lower the frequency of pump-out cleaning requested from industrial waste contractors, leading to a reduction in annual maintenance costs.

You can expect “reductions in outsourcing cleaning costs," “avoidance of emergency repair costs due to pipe blockages," and “shortened daily cleaning times (labor costs)." Many corporate clients recover their initial investment relatively quickly through these savings.

Since the device itself operates fully automatically, routine operations are unnecessary. You can maintain the purification effect simply by disposing of the garbage (e.g., food scraps) accumulated in the basket as usual.

Electricity costs are comparable to standard household appliances and will not be a heavy burden. We recommend inspecting and replacing consumables (such as the ozone generation lamp) approximately once a year.

Yes, retrofitting is possible. No major plumbing work is required. It is a simple installation involving hanging the main unit on the wall and placing the diffuser tube inside the tank, meaning it can be installed without stopping your business operations.

Yes. Ozone also decomposes and modifies minute FOG flowing out of the grease trap, making it difficult for oil to stick inside the drain pipes, thereby preventing backflow and blockage troubles.

Yes. Ozone treatment reduces the levels of n-hexane extracts (oil content) and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) in the wastewater, aiding in meeting strict municipal drainage standards.

The device is designed so that ozone reacts efficiently within the grease trap, keeping any concentration leaking outside below safety standards. Your staff can use it with complete peace of mind.

The main unit is highly compact and wall-mountable, so it can be installed even in limited spaces. We have models available to suit various facility sizes.

While ordinary aeration with air can increase the risk of carrying grease downstream, this system is designed to break down grease using ozone. Because it decomposes and purifies oil to enhance drainage quality, it is a method recommended from an environmental protection perspective.

AIC has been researching, developing, and selling ozone-related products for over 25 years. We have an extensive installation track record at famous restaurant chains, hotels, hospitals, and government facilities nationwide.
