Abstract:
1. An apparatus for treating greasy waste fluids and drain pipe networks comprising: a fluid inlet for receiving the waste fluids; a waste filtering device comprising a filtering basket covered with a filtering medium, the filtering basket comprising a resilient resonating frame configured for receiving the filtering medium in a stretched manner, the waste filtering device being for positioning downstream from the fluid inlet and being configured for retaining at least a portion of particulate matters contained in the waste fluids; a compartment; a solid or semi-solid slow-dissolving bio-cake in the compartment, the bio-cake comprising a slow-releasing grease treating formulation; and a fluid outlet positioned downstream from the compartment and connected to a drain pipe network; wherein the compartment is positioned in a flow path defined between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet for contacting the waste fluids with the bio-cake resulting in the gradual release of the grease treating formulation for treating the drain pipe network from greasy matters.
