Watling Hope install automatic Grease Shield system to protect the drainage at new KFC Restaurant

01 August 2009

Wastewater Engineers Watling Hope have supplied and installed a Grease Shield GS1850 Defender series to a new Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.

The Grease Shield unit is connected to the restaurant's wash-up sink where it filters the discharging wastewater removing food sediment and 99% of the fat, oil and grease (FOG) thus minimizing the impact of the store on the environment and preventing drain problems.

The Grease Shield Defender system achieves food removal by passing effluent through a unique food sediment basket which features a pressure drop, this causes the flow to slow and induces settlement of sediment.

Wastewater then passes into a central chamber where FOG separates out and is skimmed using a rotating drum into an external container for disposal. The system is fully automatic with only the daily emptying of recovered food and oil waste to be carried out by staff.

The franchisee of the restaurant comments "With our new store we want to make sure that we are doing everything we can to minimize our impact on the environment. The Grease Shield system helps to achieve this and its automatic operation means staff training requirements are minimal'.
