Updating Systems with Burr Plumbing

Recently, they were hired by a large corporation to upgrade one of their facility’s systems. This facility includes storage tanks for storing waste grease from sanitary food waste drains. “Normally, at a restaurant, every drain in the kitchen will flow down into the ground [and through] a grease interceptor,” Eric Burr clarifies. These gravity-based interceptors separate the grease, solid, and water. The grease waste from multiple properties is transported and then stored at this facility. Up until now, the facility used a rather simple pumping and containment system that would sound an alarm when the tanks reached critical fill levels. The system was redesigned so that the tank levels could be constantly monitored and had multiple “status level” signal lights leading up to critical. The system uses a panel designed by the FactoryMation panel shop. It includes an FMX PML Series panel meter that enables both detailed and at-a-glance monitoring of the tank’s fill level. Three different lights on the panel then light up based on the tank’s fill level and an audible alarm is included when the tank is at risk of overflowing.
