Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
The Mechline BioCeptor is a combined system designed to retain and break down Fats, Oils and Grease (FOGs) to prevent them
from entering the drainage system.
The BioCeptor FOG Intercept and Treatment (F.I.T) unit works in conjunction with the GreasePak bio-fluid dosing module, which
doses highly effective microorganisms into the F.I.T unit once a day. The GreasePak bio-fluid formula breaks down the FOGs into
irreversible compounds that can easily pass through drainage and, most importantly, do not reform down the line (more on how
the bio-fluid works in Section 6.2.3).
The F.I.T unit will need to be maintained and cleaned professionally periodically, so that any organic loads can be removed, but
the frequency of servicing is greatly reduced as long as the dosing module is properly and correctly maintained. It is also highly
recommended that a food waste strainer is installed upsteam of the BioCeptor to minimise the amount of food waste particles
entering the F.I.T unit.
The GreasePak bio-fluid dosing module is the only product of its kind in the UK to be approved by
the British Board of Agrément (BBA) as a recognised form of effective grease removal.
The F.I.T unit has been independently tested and certified to ASME A112.14.3 and PDI G-101.
