Stop right there, kitchen grease

Highland Tank's Passive Grease Interceptors help restaurants comply with EPA sewer pretreatment regulations.

Is that a snake in the water?

The Oil Skimmers Inc. Model 6V oil recovery system removes FOGs at rates up to 100 gallons of waste oil per hour, decanting the almost completely water-free waste product into a drum. The 6V uses a closed loop collector tube that snakes over and around floating debris, adjusting automatically to changing water levels. The tube is then drawn up into the oil skimmer through scrapers that remove the oil.

Belt skimming for the toughest applications

The Grease Grabber is designed for extremely demanding applications, such as drainage pits in primary metal mills, where heavy loads of grease and oil accumulate. The rugged belt skimmer makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water to attract FOGs and other hydrocarbon liquids as the belt passes through the surface of the water.
