Nibbler

Keep oil and grease out of the soil!

The Nibbler is designed to prevent oil and grease from entering into the soil absorption system by using a biological pretreatment to breakdown the grease. This is a small secondary sewage treatment system designed to aerobically digest biochemical oxygen demand cased by grease and food in wastewater.

A typical Nibbler installation consists of an inground grease trap followed by a surge tank followed by the Nibbler unit then a clarifier tank before the leach field. The unit is comprised of buoyant media held in place just below the liquid surface by pods of molded plastic which resemble milk crates. The buoyant media provides a large surface area to support growth of the microbial population which digests the grease. An air blower forces air through airtubes located in the center of each pod. The air blower is the only mechanical portion of the system and is housed in a separate vault.
