1GENERAL
The ACO Passavant Lipumax grease separator is designed for below ground installation
only. Lipumax grease separators are designed to remove waste Fats, Oils and Grease
(FOG) from commercial tradewaste from applications such as commercial kitchens and
food processing factories. They are not anticipated for use in residential applications.
When discharging tradewaste into the public sewer system, local water authority
requirements must be adhered to.
2SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
All work in installing and maintaining this grease separator shall comply with
requirements of the relevant authorities.
2.1 Site handling
Inspect the Lipumax upon delivery and prior to installation, check for damage that may
have occurred during transportation or at the job site prior to installation.
Grease separators can be extremely large. To avoid damage to the grease separator,
ensure that correct equipment (e.g. forklift, crane or sling ropes) is available for proper
unloading and manoeuvring on site. Use lifting provisions (shown below).
Note: 2000L and above separators may require a 3 tonne excavator to dig the required
depth.
2.2 Workplace Health and Safety (WHS)
•All safety instruction labels must be replaced if they become detached or illegible
•Installed devices (e.g. baffles, inlets, outlets etc.) are not load bearing. They must
not be used as steps, footholds or resting places for cleaning equipment etc.
•Grease separators should be not be installed where a danger to health is possible
from the grease separator leaking, blocking or surcharging
•Ensure the angle of excavation is suitable for the soil type.

Each Lipumax separator requires a gas and water tight access cover (complaint to AS
3996) to close the system and offer access for maintenance purposes. A range of Class
B and Class D covers are available.

4INSTALLATION
The Lipumax grease separator must be installed in compliance with local water authority
regulations (see section 5), Safe Work Australia, national plumbing standards and all
other codes of practice. Prior to installation, ensure that the local water authority
approves each installation.
The cover assembly selection will determine the overall installation depth. When
installed, the tops of the cover and collar assembly should be flush with the finished
surface level.
4.1 Installation steps
1. Check all dimensions carefully before installation. Excavate to the required depth,
allowing for the separator depth (as outlined in section 3) and an additional
100mm, and at least 300mm on either side. The width of excavation should be
sufficient for the compactor to access.
2. Place stabilised bedding sand or concrete in the base of the hole and compact so
it is level and free of rocks or other unsuitable materials.
3. Connect the required lifting apparatus to the grease separator. Lower the grease
separator into the excavation and align the inlet, outlet and ventilation pipes to
required positions. Place 200mm stabilised bedding sand or concrete around the
separator and compact. The grease separator should be filled with water and
backfilled with compacted sand and gravel or soil in 300mm sections. Ensure
backfill is free of rocks, or other unsuitable materials.
4. Connect inlet, outlet, I.O/TWSP and vent pipes. Two vent connections are
available to suit on-site requirements.
5. Install the cover and collar assembly selected.
