Waste Oil Recycling 1

[munich]

Does anybody know if bacteria, viruses etc. survive in waste oil?
The promlem is the following:
We need reduce levels of oil, fat and grease to enter the grease trap of a fast food restaurant. By using a separating device such as a dipper we will be able to separate a good deal of these components from the kitchen-ww-discharge. The separated oil may blend with the used oil from the fritter machines and the blend be used for recycling (e.g. chicken feed). If e.g. Salmonellae survive in the waste oil we would then help to close the infection chain and the chicken feed might/will get infected.
Does anybody know if these organisms survive in oil or not?

Of course organisms can survive in the waste oil. The fats and oils would have to be process before use.

There are scavenger firms that pick up the waste oil from restaurants and fast food eateries. You should contact one of these firms and have them take care of the oil. Don't bother with trying to recycle it yourself.
