Total System Solution (TSS) Performance Analysis
Key Findings
- The Total System Solution product has been found to double the FOG degradation rate and increase microbial population growth by a factor between four (4) and five (5).
- There was no evidence of material that could clog grease traps or pipes downstream.
- These results indicate that the Total System Solution product has a significant effect in the metabolism of microbes and as a result, significantly enhance the microbial cell counts in grease traps.
- The FOG degradation data, along with cell count studies, indicate that microbes degrade FOG and use it as a nutrient.
- The byproducts of this degradation are smaller organic molecules that are unlikely to react or combine to form larger molecules in a grease trap or pipe network.
Results and Conclusions
The effectiveness of the Total System Solution (TSS) product for the degradation of fats oil and greases (FOG) for grease trap samples was investigated in a controlled laboratory setting under the most rigorous circumstances. The measured FOG degradation rates (ppm/hr) indicate that Total System Solution increases the rate of FOG degradation by a factor of two (2) compared to a control experiment where no Total System Solution was used. The microbial concentration in the reactors was also measured at the end of the experiments. Cell counts indicate that the Total System Solution product increases the cell count in the reactor four (4) to five (5) times. The effectiveness of the Total System Solution product may be higher in commercial grease traps, where there is no mixing, contrary to the testing procedures used. Environments with little to no mixing provide more contact between the microbes and the FOG material. These results are for experiments conducted at a temperature of 25oC (77o F) and a Total System Solution product concentration of 500 ppm, which is a concentration used in standard indoor grease traps. After the experiments were concluded, the liquid material in the reactors maintained a fluid consistency even after 24 hours without stirring. There was no evidence of material that could clog grease traps or pipes downstream. The FOG degradation data presented here, along with cell count studies, indicate that microbes degrade FOG and use it as a nutrient. The Total System Solution product doubles the FOG degradation rate and increases the microbial population growth by a factor between four (4) and five (5). The byproducts of this degradation are smaller organic molecules that are unlikely to react or combine to form larger molecules in a grease trap or pipe network.
