Case Study | Maintenance | Culinary School Resolves Drainage Issues and Eliminates Sewer Flies with ecoSTORM

A culinary school located in a commercial building was struggling with drainage back-ups and an infestation of sewer flies due to slow moving drains filled with thick grease build-up. To address the problem, the building management required the school to implement a drain maintenance program.

The school initially tried maintenance using conventional high-pressure jetting method, but it proved ineffective, leading to frequent pest control costs.

NCH stepped in with a comprehensive solution by installing ecoSTORM on the main drain line. We first cleared the build-up using ND66 for thorough de-clogging, then maintained the system with ecoSTORM. This innovative solution effectively reduced fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and organic waste accumulation in the drainpipes, minimizing clogs and eliminating the food source and breeding ground for sewer flies. As a result, the school successfully removed odors, back-ups, and pest issues, ensuring a cleaner and healthier kitchen environment.

Case Study | Facilities | Hospital Reduces FOG Level from 104ppm to 3.9 ppm and Saves Health Department Penalty on Kidney Dialysis Waste

Our client, a leading healthcare facility, had been facing an increase in kidney dialysis patients, which resulted in a significant rise in waste production. Specifically, the wastewater shows three times the acceptable level of FOG (fats, oils, and grease), making it more challenging than typical cases.
Furthermore, the hospital had been disinfecting with chlorine before discharge into the sanitary sewer. This method also causes the death of beneficial bacteria, slowing the breakdown of waste. As a result, the hospital encountered considerable challenges related to the environment, time, equipment, and data.
