New Zealand sewers are facing an uphill battle with fats, oil, and grease (FOG) caused by irresponsible waste disposal. It has already caused untold damage to property and, if left unchecked, it can potentially damage lives as well.

This was revealed when a sinkhole opened up in the rural North Island town of Dannevirke. That sinkhole revealed a lot of things but it also showed that at installing a grease trap, Kiwis still fail. The sinkhole was caused in part by rat infestation in the sewers and then mainly by fat buildup from the accumulation of waste dumped into the sewers by homeowners and companies that don’t dispose of their wastewater properly.

The problem with oil and fat is that too much of it can block the sewers completely. Stoppage like that can cause water to flow back, but that’s the least of the worries it can cause; a build-up of FOG can actually become the fatbergs everyone dreads. Fatbergs are wastes that harden and become almost solid because of accumulation. This is where the Big Dipper comes in.

The Big Dipper is an automatic grease trap and removal system which makes things simple; from simplifying processes to eliminating costs, the Big Dipper became an industry favourite because of its efficiency. It is used to protect internal plumbing from grease, build-up, and everything in between, as well as make the recovery of grease faster and easier.

The Big Dipper is also the usual solution to FOG build-up because it is a solution that removes another financial hurdle from the process: a professional waste removal team, which could cost companies thousands of dollars. Companies could save on costs further by the Big Dipper’s elimination of FOG even before they become a troublesome nuisance.

In New Zealand, Clenz has been the point of source for the Big Dipper grease trap system. It has also been the company everybody calls for help on how to become responsible for wastes and to avoid FOG build-up in the sewers.
