Professional execution and transparent documentation

Our services are performed by trained specialists. When performing work on light liquid and grease separators, we adhere to the legal and technical requirements applicable to each job, including DIN 1999-100 and DIN 4040-100. Where applicable, we also take into account the provisions of the Water Resources Act. Inspections, maintenance, and disposal services are documented to the agreed-upon extent.

Treatment of Oil-Containing and Sludgy Mixtures

The ZIMMERMANN Group operates its own wastewater treatment facilities for oil-containing and sludgy mixtures. The materials received are routed to the appropriate treatment processes based on their properties and the applicable acceptance and treatment specifications. The type and extent of treatment depend on the classification and nature of the waste in question.

How do oil separators work?

Separation systems for light liquids such as oil or gasoline rely on differences in density: Heavier components, such as sludge, settle to the bottom. Lighter liquids collect at the surface. The treated wastewater flows out through the designated outlet. If sludge or light liquids reach the specified limit levels, the contents are extracted and sent to the designated disposal route.

How do grease separators work?

Grease traps also separate substances based on their different densities. Grease accumulates on the surface, while solids—such as residues from food processing—sink to the bottom. The treated wastewater is discharged through the drain. The separated grease and solids are removed at specified intervals and disposed of properly.

Recurring Tasks

Oil separator:

For light liquid separators, the following operational and inspection requirements, in particular, may be relevant according to DIN 1999-100:

  • Keeping an Operational Log
  • regular self-inspections
  • Maintenance at the specified intervals
  • General inspection within the applicable time limits

The intervals and requirements that apply in each individual case depend, among other things, on the facility, its use, regulatory requirements, and the approval or drainage order.

For grease separators, the following operational and inspection requirements, in particular, may be relevant in accordance with DIN 4040-100:

  • Keeping an Operational Log
  • regular self-inspections
  • Maintenance at the specified intervals
  • General inspection within the applicable time limits
  • Regular emptying and treatment of the collected waste

Disposal and inspection intervals must be determined based on the specific facility and the applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any deviations from these intervals must be coordinated with the appropriate authority, if necessary.
