Wet waste filtration system ,ACRTOOLS

The Rhino wet  waste  filtration system reduces the amount of wet  waste  solids and grease typically contained in the large amounts of water used in food preparation and pre-rinse sinks.

Liquid containing wet waste from sinks is directed to the RHINO unit where it flows through a specially designed membrane (Pat. In U.S., and elsewhere). The elasticity of the membrane material creates passages for liquid to  escape while retaining the wet solids.

The  filtration bag is changed in seconds without fuss or mess facilitated by an easy clip on system. The bag  can be put out  with regular waste.

A specially designed filtration membrane (Pat. in U.S., and elsewhere), with unique characteristics to capture wet waste solids and grease .A user friendly retaining ring allows replacement in seconds.

Benefits

-Reduces the amount of wet waste solids and grease  flowing into drainage systems.

-Reduces clogging and maintenance of drainage piping.

-Reduces the cost to municipalities of treating sewage  at treatment plants.

-Reduces the number of grease trap cleaning required.

-Reduces the odor created by a grease trap.

-Greatly reduces the need for costly biotechnology(bacteria treatments).           

-Reduces airborne bacteria in kitchen.

-Meets waste water discharge compliance standards.

Environmental Advantages

Fisher Laboratories were commissioned to study the Rhino Wet Waste Interceptor in an on site installation. The results were astounding, not only for the customer using the Rhino, but also for the benefit of the environment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Filterco Enterprises Inc. has developed a pre-filtration system, which will decrease the cleaning frequency and blockages of pipes, drains and grease traps. The units are installed before the drains or grease trap. The MOEE Sewer-Use by-laws regulate the Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, Oil and Grease loading to the sewer system.Yearly loadings to the sewer system are expensive in the treatment of waste. Also this pre-filtration system would reduce the amount of waste that would not be efficiently removed by the preexisting grease trap. Fisher Environmental tested the efficiency of the system in decreasing the above three parameters.  Four restaurants in the Toronto area were sampled in  the study. In most cases, the removal of total suspended solids, oil and grease were greater than 75%.The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) removal ranges from 40 to 90% depending on the restaurant's qualities. The optimum removal occurred after the filter bag was preconditioned with solid particulate matter.

Maxxam Analytics Inc.

An independent laboratory ran a series of tests for RHINO Ecosystems Inc. to test the waste water stream at five locations of kitchen sink drains for the following items:

1. Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

2. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)

3. Fats Oils and Grease (FOGS)

Testing ports were put under the sinks in front of the Rhino units top entry port, after the Rhino units exit port,in front of the grease trap entry, and after the grease trap exit port to the city sewage system.A quick summary of the test results are as follows:

After the Rhino unit                       After the Rhino unit and grease trap

TSS 85.53% Reduction                    TSS 89.50% Reduction.

BOD 80.03% Reduction                    BOD 87.27% Reduction.
