The Multi-Ceptor is a high-capacity interceptor installed underground along the sewage lateral in the vicinity of the facility it serves. It is unobtrusive, occupies almost no above-ground space, and is accessible by manholes. The unit is capable of handling combined kitchen and human waste streams from several sources at once.

In some ways, Multi-Ceptor functions like a standard grease trap. In the primary chamber, lighter grease molecules rise and co-metabolize, creating a grease mat on the surface and allowing the heavy solids to settle to the bottom. The cooler, low-turbulence second chamber allows emulsified FOG to co-metabolize.

The uniqueness of the Multi-Ceptor system lies in what happens next: In the Multi-Ceptor’s patented process, grinder pumps liquefy and expel solids that have settled to the bottom of the primary chamber. The grinders are computer-regulated to reduce velocity and head pressure, and the system is able to feed back into itself in the event of a downstream blockage. If a problem arises, the pumps shut down and an alarm is triggered, but gravity flow is not impeded. Once the problem is solved downstream, the system can be reset at an above-ground control panel on site. With solids being continuously expelled into the sewage stream, the system can be pumped much less frequently.

Multi-Ceptor: It’s a cleaner, safer, healthier, and above all more economical system for the management of FOG.
