Aluline's experience of surveying, specifying, supplying, installing and maintaining Grease Traps in commercial kitchens, such as hotels is unrivalled. Its our combination of years of experience twinned with technological advances in biotechnology that enable us to produce truly efficient and cost effective managed maintenance systems for drains in commercial kitchens.

We offer a one-stop service for hoteliers, understanding not only your needs but ensuring that the drainage solutions we provide comply with the necessary Drainage Regulations. As part H of the Drainage Regulations, commercial premises which prepare hot food must have a Grease Interceptor Trap fitted within the drainage system. These types of premises create a unique problem for drainage systems, for example many country venues with no mains connections have installed - Treatment Plants/Septic Tanks.

Problems that can occur require management to be aware and confident of how to manage their drainage system. The selection and application of Grease Traps/Separators/Filters which we supply, takes into account the management and maintenance plan for the kitchen. It is important that advice is gathered before specifying, even the smallest and cheapest model. This is because changes in waste regulations and environment legislation will make the disposal of waste a critical task for all professionals, whether through pipes or into landfill bins. The cost of disposal and treatment can only rise and therefore must be budgeted for. Charges or fines for contravening waste regulations can run into thousands of pounds. Therefore "prevention" ( Waste Removal At Source) is a much more cost effective solution.

Aluline is one of the World's foremost commercial drainage manufacturers, producing Grease Interceptor Traps and Biological Drain Dosing Systems for UK, European and Worldwide commercial, military and industrial kitchens.

The Environmental impact of commercial kitchen waste is significant. As is the rising cost of disposal and the potential for water board environment agency's or environmental health/planning officers, imposing charges/prohibition notices/fines on customers for not complying with waste directives.

To date specification/sizing has been left to builders/plumbers/salesmen. If diligence is not shown through the drainage element of a contract being ignored, this may come back to haunt professionals and insurance claims are possible. It is incumbent on professional designer to provide for disposal and storage of waste from any commercial building within the current guidelines.

We offer a one-stop service for those with kitchens in Institutional, MOD, and Government establishments, understanding not only your needs but ensuring that the drainage solutions we provide comply with the necessary Drainage Regulations. As part H of the Drainage Regulations; commercial premises which prepare hot food must have a Grease Interceptor Trap fitted within the drainage system. Best value (Duty of care) is the critical objective of any institutional officer.

It is therefore important to comply with regulations and use cost effective solutions that actually work. Emphasis is on cost, service and the impact on the environment. The creation of long term sustainability is the aim of every organisation and the care of our environment is a responsibility of all organisations and departments.

The obligation to comply with all waste/hygiene/environmental directives makes it fundamental to ensure that best practice and sustainable solutions are used to reduce adverse environmental impact, caused by waste we produce.

For Contractors, designers and architects, the design and specification of commercial kitchen drainage to meet planning and water board acceptance can be a demanding and time consuming task. Aluline's products and services meet the requirements of drainage regulations, local authorities, water authorities and cost managers. Our on site experience gives valuable practical assistance to architect and customer alike, across every size and type of commercial, industrial or military installation imaginable.

The temptation of engineers and contractors to ignore equipment or operations carried out with their specific design/work area is understandable. The design and operation of treatment plants is concerned with tank and catchments tanks preceding main treatment area. Legislation is in the pipeline which will make the cost of disposal of waste from treatment plants raise considerably. It is incumbent on all to ensure that plants operate to their full potential, reducing sewage sludge to minimum for disposal. To this end consideration must be given from tap to treatment plant.

The onsite monitoring of tanks and pumping stations is a costly and time consuming business. The introduction of our septic watch monitor will give live and historic readings of top-bottom sludge levels and temperature; this can be accessed on site or by telephone modem to computer anywhere in the world.

The ship is essentially an enclosed village with all the drainage and disposal problems faced by land based sites. The necessity to keep accurate records on disposal of waste from ships focuses the mind on on-ship treatment and storage.

The charges for many types of disposal can only rise as land based environmentalists introduce stricter and more stringent legislation on waste disposal management.

The "ship environment" will be a serious proposal with all crew and passengers being educated into reducing waste on board, (probably earning an environmental star for doing so).
