Partnership helps commercial
kitchens recycle trap grease
Philadelphia, PA - Through a partnership between BlackGold Biofuels
and SLM Facility Solutions Nationwide, restaurants around the country
will soon be able to more easily
recycle greasy kitchen waste while
saving money.
BlackGold and SLM have
formed a strategic partnership to
provide more cost effective recycling options for hospitalityindustry wastes. The relationship
will enable restaurants, food
processors, and other buildings
with food service to send liquid
waste from their kitchen drains
and grease traps to be recycled
into biofuels, with no additional
cost or operational complexity.
BlackGold Biofuels operates
liquid waste recycling facilities
that use a patented process to
extract and recycle residual fats,
oils, and greases from kitchen
wastewater into biodiesel. SLM is
positioned nationwide within the
hospitality industry, providing the
management and consolidation of
grease trap and jetting services for commercial kitchens, including the management and diversion of waste streams.
Through the partnership, SLM's clients
are able to recycle their grease trap
waste, advancing client sustainability
initiatives and community stewardship
programs without increasing costs.
"This partnership streamlines the
recycling process for restaurants by
increasing access to BlackGold's innovative wastewater service," said Emily
Landsburg, CEO of BlackGold Biofuels.
"In partnership with SLM, we have identified both the most cost effective and
best use for wastewater materials, elim-
inating confusion and headaches for
kitchens and waste-haulers."
Currently in the U.S., grease trap
waste is often landfilled or spread on
fields. The material can be sent to anaerobic digestion to produce biogas for
energy use, but the digestion process
results in the loss of more than 70% of
the energy contained in the grease, and
few facilities have the expensive infra-
structure to convert it into energy. While
the grease can be used in limited applications as a heavy industrial fuel, EPA
limits on fuel sulfur concentrations will
soon make it obsolete.
BlackGold developed a breakthrough chemical process to
convert the trash-ridden and
highly variable waste into
biodiesel that meets the national ASTM specifications and the
EPA's ultra low sulfur requirements. Approximately 80% of
the energy content in the waste
is recovered. Biodiesel is a lowcarbon, low-emission, nontoxic
renewable diesel fuel that can
be used anywhere petroleum
diesel is used, including vehicles, home heating, boilers, and
construction equipment.
"Our clients have long sought
ways to further increase sustainability, and SLM has a successful
track record of helping them
achieve this in a cost-effective
manner," said Susan Daywitt, CEO
and Founder of SLM. "We selected
BlackGold as our recycling partner
because of their focus on sustainability
paired with the technology, financing,
and reach to offer this on a national
scale to our clients."
SLM - www.slmwaste.com - has over
15,000 clients throughout the country.
SLM will direct its vendors to recycle
their clients' waste with BlackGold in

employees annually.
“We have always sought innovative
ways to be thoughtful about our impact
on the environment. I believe that attitude is consistent with our product, the
wishes of our guests and our brand,”
said Michael Mack, CEO of Garden
Fresh Restaurant Corp. “The Green
Restaurant Association provided us with
a wonderful opportunity to further our
efforts and we strongly value their hard
work in transitioning the restaurant

OR Innovations new product
Mopzilla Nomad, is just not another
pretty face in the cleaning industry.
This commercial unit is designed
to dispense cleaning fluid while
at the same time sucking it off
the floor into a closed reservoir.
This feature prevents odors,
spills and the unpleasant site of
filthy water in a bucket. Many
restaurants and retailers avoid bringing out a bucket during opening hours
for that reason. Packed with commercial
power the Mopzilla Nomad can be
wheeled around like carry on luggage,
pulled by its hose or strapped over your
shoulder during use
making it the most
portable commercial
mopping system to
date. Green was
another reason the
line of Mopzillas was
developed. Using 80% less
water and chemicals it can be used in
areas where water is in short supply. The
easy operation is another advantage of
the Nomad that cleans better while
reducing cross contamination and slip
and falls. The Nomad is manufactured
by OR Innovation Corp. out of West
Palm Beach, with sales offices in Toronto
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added three hydrocarbons as acceptable alternatives in household and small commercial
refrigerators and freezers through EPA’s Significant New
Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program. EPA took action after
requests from Ben and Jerry’s and General Electric, as well as
A.S. Trust & Holdings, and True Manufacturing, a familyowned small business. These businesses are helping to clear
the way for U.S. companies to use ozone layer-protective
hydrocarbon refrigerants. “Today’s action is a great example of
how businesses and EPA can work together to protect our planet and drive innovation,” said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “This action increases the
options for effective, climate-friendly refrigerants in the U.S.”

ers the tools to run a better restaurant
and have the co exist.
When a new fad begins, only the first
20 percent of entries will be successful.
Self-Serve Yogurt shops are a perfect
example. Based on the success of
Kitchen Nightmares the Food Channel
came out with their version of the show
called Restaurant Impossible hosted by
Chef Robert Irvine. This show has the
same premise with less yelling, cursing,
and time for Irvine to work his magic.
He has two days to totally change the
menu, the attitude of the owners and
staff and only ten thousand dollars to
spend to redesign the front of the house
and sometimes-other items.
Both Ramsey and Irvine begin by
experiencing a service in the dining
room and seeing first hand the problems of the service staff and tasting
the food prepared by the kitchen
staff. Of course the both are repulsed
by what they see and taste. Many
times the owners are not aware of
what is going on in their own
kitchens. It is very easy to lose control
of your business when things begin to
slide downward. The spiral down can
be very fast. Remember the old Army
saying, “When the going gets tough,
the tough get going.” Stay involved
and in the game.
Both shows feature a Grand ReOpening where guests are invited to
experience the new decor and menu
items. Of course all of the guests love

Partnership
MARCH 2012
There is now a trio of TV shows
designed to help struggling restaurant
owners turn their businesses around.
The original, Kitchen Nightmares, the
Fox Network’s restaurant savior show
has been around for several seasons and
has its fans including me. The premise
of the show is that failing restaurant
owners contact Celebrity Chef Gordon
Ramsey and ask him to spend a week in
their restaurant and fix their problems.
There is yelling, cursing, frustration, and
lots more to make the show entertaining. Ramsey revamps the menu, redecorates the dining room and changes the
attitude of the owners and management
all in an hour episode.
Ramsey has garnered a reputation
as a tough guy in the kitchen during
the shows taping but I saw him in
action live a few years ago. An Italian
restaurant in Boca Raton was selected
for the makeover. It was August and a
large tent was erected in front of the
restaurant in the parking lot. The owners were led by an angry wife, a father
in law and the husband. The purpose
of the tent was to invite leaders in the
community to watch the taping while
teams from the Miami Heat, Florida
Panthers and the Miami Dolphins created pizzas. The owners were the
judges. It was brutally hot under the
tent but the show must go on. I did see
myself in a crowd shot when it aired.
Ramsey was jovial, smiling, friendly
and ran a tight ship. Not quite what
you see every week on the show. At the
end of the show he had given the own-

areas where BlackGold has established
recycling facilities that are close enough
to SLM clients to be cost-effective.
BlackGold is building a network of recycling facilities throughout the U.S, with
initial focus on the southeast and midAtlantic. BlackGold's receiving facilities
process the material into an intermediate product, which is then converted
into biodiesel at centralized facilities,
allowing waste to be aggregated from a
broad geographic area while minimizing environmental and financial freight
costs. As threshold volumes are
achieved in the receiving facilities,
more conversion facilities will be built
and the network will grow. As new facilities are built, more of SLM's clients will
be able to access to this innovative
recycling program.
SLM provides facilities management services in the areas of waste
and recycling, including infectious
waste; grease trap pumping and jetting, cooking oil grease; kitchen
exhaust; and parking lot power washing/sweeping. Available nationwide,
SLM's services reduce client costs an
average of 25%. SLM partners with
facility managers to assure their properties run smoother to enhance profitability, and, because SLM is available 24/7/365, ultimately helps destress clients' lives.
BlackGold Biofuels specializes in resource
recovery from wastewater streams, focusing on the
recycling of fat, oil, and grease-laden wastewaters
from commercial kitchens, food processors, and
sewers. BlackGold developed and patented a chemical process to convert these greases into biodiesel, a
low-carbon diesel fuel. The company's first customer, the City of San Francisco, installed the first
sewer grease to biodiesel facility in the country at its
municipal wastewater treatment plant in 2010.
BlackGold is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA.

Sensor Switch offers sensors that
incorporate dual technology: PIR and

No matter what type of lodging
operation you have, be sure to incorporate switches, dimmers, timers and
occupancy sensors in non-guest areas
to reduce lighting power costs. As you
do that, you may even reduce heating
costs — a win-win for every owner.

TODAY’S RESTAURANT
MARCH 2012
In the areas of your hotel that
guests rarely see-offices, kitchens, corridors, stairwells, storage rooms —
there is no need to keep the lights
burning 24 hours a day. Yes, in some
hotels there is activity in those spaces
around the clock but not constantly.
During those times workers are not
present, why not employ lighting control systems to turn out the lights, save
energy and reduce costs? Inevitably,
power plants will not have to work so
hard, meaning less pollution and fewer
greenhouse gas emissions.
Carlos Villialobos, senior product
manager for Wattstopper/Legrand in
Santa Clara, Calif., says that before
implementing any type of lighting
control system in a space, one must
understand how the space is used.
How often are people present? Also
understand the characteristics of the
space. A utility room, for example, may
have moving parts that can false trigger sensors. Villialobos adds that it is
also important to be aware of energy
codes and how much money you are
prepared to spend.
According to Jon Gensler, assistant
marketing manager with Lutron
Electronics Co., Inc., Coopersburg, Pa.,
lighting controls such as switches,
dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors all deal with 'on' and 'off' situations and everything in between. In
back-of-the-house areas, most lighting
tends to be fluorescent.
'These spaces are typically not controlled,' Gensler says. 'There are number of strategies that can be employed.
The first and easiest one is occupancy
sensors, especially in office spaces.
They can turn lights off five minutes
after someone leaves. When someone
reenters that space, they have to turn
the switch on.'
Gensler says adding an occupancy
sensor is an easy step and can eliminate up to 20 to 30 percent of lighting
energy costs. Lutron offers three varieties of sensors: wall switch, wall
mount and ceiling mount. According
to Lutron, lighting controls may contribute up to 22 points in five of six of
the U.S. Green Building Council's
Leadership
in
Energy
and
Environmental Design (LEED) credit
categories.
infrared (PIR), ultrasonic or dual technology. Dual technology incorporates
both PIR and ultrasonic technologies.
When shopping for a lighting control system vendor for back-of-thehouse areas, another one to consider is
Sensor Switch, Inc., Wallingford, Conn.
The company's nLight system integrates time-based lighting control with
sensor-based control. While networking together sensors, power packs,
photocells, and wall switches, nLight
provides
'global'
control
via
SensorView lighting management software. Like Wattstopper/Legrand,
One thing to keep in mind is to take
advantage
of
natural
light.
Photosensors also can work with lighting control systems to dim lighting in
spaces based on the amount of natural
light available. Salt Lake City, Utahbased LiteTouch, Inc., for example,
offers a DayLight Harvesting system
that dims down artificial lighting as
natural lighting increases. Light sensors monitored on the ceiling measure
the amount of light and send wired signals to the control system to adjust
lighting to one of eight levels. DayLight
Harvesting can work with shading systems to automatically block light when
there is too much of it.

The Eco-Safe Digester from
Marathon Equipment Company is an
innovative breakthrough in confronting
the growing problem of organic waste
processing and disposal. This new environmentally friendly product was
designed in response to some staggering statistics. According to a 2008 United
Nations study, about 30 percent of the
food produced annually in the United
States—about $50 billion—is thrown
into the garbage. This equates to
approximately 31.79 million tons of food
waste, which the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency estimates costs over
$1 billion annually in disposal costs.
According to Geoff Apthorp,
Vice President of Engineering
and Business Development at

part, the Eco-Safe Digester is
an innovative, “green,” valueadded solution that addresses

Bringing three generations of
experience Pasquale Cardamuro has
been serving Italian food in Georgia
for 30 years. He began in Gwinnett
Mall serving Pizza & Pasta and then
started his dream in 1997, when he
opened Cardamuro’s Italian Café in
Sugar Hill. He had a vision of offering
good meals in a relaxing and pleasant
atmosphere, where customers felt like
home and knew Pasquale by his warm
greeting and constant attention to the
customers need.
Pasquale went to culinary school
in Naples, Italy and then was a Chef in
the Italian Navy. He came to the
United States and owned Pizza Fast
food restaurants in local malls, before
opening his first restaurant in Buford
GA., where he remained for 13 years
until he opened La Casa Italian Grill
in October 2011. Pasquale's family
owned restaurants in Naples Italy
where he started working at the age of
7 years old as a busboy.
Pasquale continued his tradition
and dreams when he opened La Casa
Italian Grill in historic Alpharetta. An
old house has been transformed to a
comfortable, cozy atmosphere with a
large outdoor heated deck. La Casa
offers authentic homemade dishes prepared with passion and only the finest

Regardless of which show you
like best, the basic premise is the
same. Owners and managers must
be heavily involved in their business. If you begin to lose control of
your wait staff, kitchen personnel,
your purchasing and your restaurant’s physical appearance, take a
minute to splash cold water in your
face to wake yourself up. Shock
yourself back into doing what you
know is right to run your business
properly. You knew it when you
opened and you still know it. Dig
down and get it done or the Three

Willie Degel is a well-known
restaurant owner from New York. His
restaurants are outfitted with cameras that allow Degel to see all of the

up cameras in the chosen failing

them to follow suit.”
“We are pleased to see a restaurant chain of this volume be the pioneer in ‘green’ initiatives and set a
standard in the restaurant industry,”
said Jennifer Fleck, communications
manager at the Green Restaurant
Association. “The U.S. throws out 243
million tons of trash every year, 57
percent of which is buried in landfills.
Garden Fresh is taking proactive
steps to help reduce this number.”
The Green Restaurant Association, a nonprofit organization that
seeks to promote sustainability in the
restaurant industry, certified Garden
Fresh restaurants as a Two-Star
Certified Green Restaurant. Under
the certification process, Garden
Fresh underwent environmental
upgrades in all of its restaurants
across the nation. The GRA reviewed
these categories to ensure sustainability requirements were met:
“We are the only full-service GREEN
solution for waste fryer oil. We complete
the cycle by collecting oil ourselves, producing the biodiesel and selling that
biodiesel to GA consumers.”
CEB also announced they will
open their first 24-hour a day
biodiesel filling station. “Atlanta’s
retail diesel consumers will finally
have an option when it comes to
using alternative fuels.” The station is
currently under construction and will
open to the public in April of this year
off Dekalb Ave in Atlanta.
“Everyday more and more food
service companies and biodiesel
consumers understand the full range
of services that we offer. We are a
unique company that has proven its
business model over the last six
years. Clean Energy Biofuels is fully
committed to the local economy and
the local environment. Our customers appreciate our business
model and realize that by using CEB
their oil is going to produce the
greenest local liquid fuel available,
which is good for the environment
and good for the local economy.”
Any food service business with a

use Clean Energy Biofuels as a vendor.

Upcoming industry affairs
Frontline International, a leading
provider of Smart Oil Management
systems for waste oil, oil filtration,
and fresh oil, offers greater control
over oil management processes and
can help increase profits by reducing
time and labor costs. Frontline’s proprietary Smart Oil Management systems include three options for managing waste cooking oil, plus an
optional Grill Grease System that can
be placed directly under the grill to
catch cooking grease.
Waste cooking oil is pumped
directly from the fryer to a Smart Oil
Containment Tank in one of three
ways: Direct-Plumbed® System (fully
automated, labor-saving), RemotePlumbed® Waste Oil Pump Station
System (semi automated, less expensive), and Caddy System (manual
with automation, safer than toting
buckets). All three methods work with
the Frontline Grill Grease System.
With Frontline, you own your own
equipment, negotiate your own oil
rebates, and have the freedom to
choose your oil vendors. There are no
fees, no leasing, and no contracts. All
Frontline systems are modular, flexible, and upgradable—buy only the
equipment needed and add more or
upgrade whenever you choose. All
Frontline systems offer a tremendous
ROI. Plus, equipment ownership
saves money over time and protects
your chain’s brand while reducing
labor and improving productivity.
A fresh oil system can be added to
an existing waste oil system at any
time versus having to install both
fresh and waste oil systems at the
same time. All Frontline equipment
carries a 1-year warranty on all parts
and labor.
Frontline’s proprietary M3 data
management system lets users monitor, measure, and manage their oil
use. The M3 system lets you track
usage and collection volumes and
compare statistics daily, weekly, or
monthly. Automatic alarms are sent
to you by email or text before your
waste oil tank reaches “full” status;
then, the system automatically alerts
your oil collection company. When
needed, diagnostic warnings are sent
simultaneously to you and Frontline
service technicians. Assignable
reporting allows both store level and
corporate management to receive
data on each unit’s usage. Reports are
available at any time online.
