Mechline provide industry clarity on Grease Management Requirements

If you are confused about how to tackle Grease Management in commercial kitchens, then according to Mechline you are not alone. Mechline has recently undertaken industry research with commercial FSEDs, resellers and operators, and discovered a good deal of misinformation and confusion circulating about how to tackle Grease Management in commercial Kitchens. In order to provide some clarity, they are sharing, (with their agreement) outcomes from the extensive discussions they have had with Water Utility Companies and their representatives in the UK. John Newell, Commercial Director at Mechline provides more detail:

“Water Companies’ have the unenviable task of maintaining and ensuring the effective upkeep of our nation’s sewers, and Mechline appreciate that this is not without its challenges. However, the water companies freely admit they are not the experts in the design of commercial kitchens and their operations. Consequently, their recommendations on Grease Management Equipment can only be advisory and not mandatory. This is an important distinction as it confirms that commercial kitchen operators are the ones responsible for selecting the Grease Management solutions that best suit their needs while protecting the environment.”
