Fisher Laboratories were commissioned to study the Rhino Wet Waste Interceptor in an on site installation. The results
were astounding, not only for the customer using the Rhino, but also for the benefit of the environment.
Independent Studies of the Rhino Filtration System Fisher Associates Environmental Engineers Limited

Filterco Enterprises Inc. has developed a pre-filtration system, which will decrease the cleaning frequency and blockages
of pipes, drains and grease traps. The units are installed before the drains or grease trap. The MOEE Sewer-Use by-laws
regulate the Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, Oil and Grease loading to the sewer system.
Yearly loadings to the sewer system are expensive in the treatment of waste. Also this pre-filtration system would
reduce the amount of waste that would not be efficiently removed by the preexisting grease trap. Fisher Environmental
tested the efficiency of the system in decreasing the above three parameters.  Four restaurants in the Toronto area were
sampled in  the study. In most cases, the removal of total suspended solids, oil and grease were greater than 75%.
The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) removal ranges from 40 to 90% depending on the restaurant's qualities.
The optimum removal occurred after the filter bag was preconditioned with solid particulate matter.

An independent laboratory ran a series of tests for RHINO Ecosystems Inc. to test the waste water stream at five           
locations of kitchen sink drains for the following items:
1. Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
2. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
3. Fats Oils and Grease (FOGS)

Testing ports were put under the sinks in front of the Rhino units top entry port, after the Rhino units exit port,
in front of the grease trap entry, and after the grease trap exit port to the city sewage system.
A quick summary of the test results are as follows:

After the Rhino unit                       After the Rhino unit and grease trap

TSS 85.53% Reduction       TSS 89.50% Reduction.
BOD 80.03% Reduction      BOD 87.27% Reduction.
FOGS 89.78% Reduction     FOGS 92.37% Reduction
