Industrial & Commercial Kitchen Grease, Sludge, and Starch Separation Solutions

Wastewater generated from daily activities, food processing, and industrial operations can significantly impact water quality. One of the primary contributors to water pollution is wastewater from food preparation, which contains high levels of fats, oils, grease (FOG), starch, and organic residues.

These substances accumulate in drainage systems, forming stubborn deposits that lead to pipe blockages, disrupt wastewater networks, and increase maintenance costs for municipalities and facility operators. Therefore, implementing an effective grease, sludge, and starch separation solution is essential to protect water resources and maintain a balanced ecosystem.

The industrial and commercial kitchen separation solutions from Techneau are specifically designed to collect solid waste and grease before wastewater enters drainage systems. This helps prevent environmental pollution and protects public wastewater infrastructure.

As the official representative of Techneau in Vietnam, PGTECH provides high-quality grease separators, starch separators, and sludge traps for applications such as factories, hotels, resorts, schools, hospitals, and residential kitchens. Techneau grease separators are widely recognized across Europe and globally as a reliable and efficient solution for kitchen wastewater treatment.

Overview of Techneau Grease & Starch Separators

Techneau’s Grease and Starch Separators are manufactured in compliance with strict European standards, including:

• NF EN 1825-1
• NF EN 1825-2
• NF P 16-500-1/CN

All products are CE-certified and supplied with a Declaration of Performance (DoP).

Operating principle:

The separation process is based on gravity separation:

• Heavy particles (sludge) with density ~1 settle at the bottom
• Grease and oils (density ~0.95) float to the surface
• Cleaned water exits through a siphon outlet system

The inlet is equipped with a flow diffuser to prevent turbulence, ensuring effective separation of sludge and grease layers.

How to Select the Right Grease Separator for Each Application

A typical Techneau grease separator consists of:

• Sludge trap (silt trap)
• Separation chamber

Key design features:

• Tank made from recyclable polyethylene using rotational molding
• Inlet and outlet connections made of PVC or nitrile rubber
• Heavy-duty polyethylene covers with stainless steel screws and sealing gasket
• Designed to withstand pedestrian loads

Techneau provides detailed sizing formulas and selection guidelines based on NF EN 1825-2, ensuring accurate sizing for different applications such as:

• Restaurants
• Hotels
• Industrial kitchens
• Food processing plants

Proper sizing ensures optimal performance, easy installation, and simplified maintenance.
