Why MIFAB Interceptors? A Comparative Guide

Why MIFAB HDPE Interceptors Cleaning products and bacteria in a grease interceptor accelerate decomposition, which results in acidic pH levels, oxygen depletion, and the alteration of specific gravity. Acidic waste with a pH<5 is very corrosive to steel, concrete, and fiberglass interceptors alike. Typically, the pH level within a gravity grease interceptor will drop below a pH of 5 within a week of its operation. MIFAB interceptors are made of HDPE (High Density Polyethene) which protects the best against corrosion occurring inside interceptors. HDPE has a greater resistance to a number of chemicals, and is the same material used in Acid Neutralization Tanks.

Why MIFAB HDPE Interceptors MIFAB HDPE interceptors are offered with a Lifetime Warranty which makes them by far the most economical choice from the beginning. MIFAB interceptors hold more grease than the comparable Schier and Green Turtle models. MIFAB is the only interceptor company that includes an accompanying line of heat tracing cable. The other options require work with a separate company for the heat tracing cable. All MIFAB HDPE interceptors are Made in the USA.

Hydromechanical Grease Interceptor 7GPM to 50GPM

Hydromechanical Grease Interceptor 75GPM to 100GPM

Hydromechanical Grease Interceptor 75GPM to 100GPM

Advantages with MIFAB Big Max Each interceptor ships with free direct connect lid kit in addition to extension kit. The extension is made up of 18” diameter ADS corrugated drainage pipe – a proprietary extension from the interceptor manufacturer is not required. H-20 20,000lb load rated lid sent standard. Lightweight so it can be carried by 2 people. 33½” wide to fit through standard doorways. Separates grease much more efficiently requiring less pump outs saving labor costs.

Advantages with MIFAB Big Max Utilizes a flow control in unison with a distributive inlet tee which the 2008 WERF study identifies as the best inlet setup for distribution. Enviro-Flow® inlet design directs incoming wastewater sideways for more efficient laminar flow and separation. Shipped standard with internal flow control, or available in external flow control for PDI approval.

Gravity Grease Interceptor 500, 750, 1000, 1300, 1500 Gallons Liquid Holding Capacity

Advantages with MIFAB SUPER MAX Interceptors ship with base included as a standard. Each interceptor ships with free direct connect lid kit in addition to extension kit. The extension is made up of 24” diameter ADS corrugated drainage pipe – a proprietary extension from the interceptor manufacturer is not required. H-20 20,000lb load rated lid sent standard. Greatest range of sizes compared to any manufacturer for most accurate sizing. Can be put into place using a back hoe; no crane rental needed.

For the same grease holding capability, the gravity equivalent would be: XL-MI-G-PL-1150 = 1,000gal gravity grease interceptor

Spec MIFAB HDPE Interceptors What’s on your MASTER SPECIFICATION? The time it takes to change the spec pales in comparison to the time it takes to replace a corroded interceptor. With your company name on the project, what do you want to have representing your reputation? Don’t forget: Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors save costs over the long run holding more grease, therefore requiring less pumping visits. Next time your interceptor needs replacing, specifying MIFAB HDPE Interceptors and never worry about it again.
