Existing building. Existing pipelines. New grease separation requirements. How do you make everything work together?

This project demonstrates a commercial grease separation system installed within an existing food-service wastewater infrastructure.

Rather than redesigning the entire drainage network, the system was configured around the available equipment space, existing pipe routes, inlet/outlet conditions, and maintenance requirements.

Project Highlights

✔ Integrated with the existing kitchen drainage network
✔ Grease and food solids separated before downstream discharge
✔ Equipment layout adapted to limited plant-room space
✔ Piping configured around existing site conditions
✔ Sealed system design helps reduce odor dispersion
✔ Maintenance and inspection access considered during installation

Retrofit projects are often more challenging than new construction. Existing pipe elevations, structural limitations, equipment access, ventilation, and drainage conditions can all affect the final solution.

For this reason, WoECO Tech evaluates the complete site conditions before equipment selection—not simply the required treatment capacity.

Our solutions can be configured for commercial complexes, shopping malls, hotels, food courts, central kitchens, and other large food-service facilities.
