Facility Management & Hausverwaltungen: Abwasser präventiv entlasten | lipasanF®
Blockages and H₂S-related odours in residential properties are not inevitable. With biological fat breakdown you can reduce incidents, complaints and ad-hoc callouts — structured, material-friendly and ESG-aligned.
In a nutshell
The goal is not a “quick fix” — it’s stable operation: reduce build-up before it turns into a recurring issue.
- Prevention beats reaction: routine instead of escalation.
- Biology instead of aggressive chemicals — better for materials and the environment.
- Scalable: from small multi-family buildings to large mixed-use sites.
Note: we focus on process and application — no unrealistic “instant” promises.
Typical starting point
Many kitchens create a cumulative fat load. Targeting hotspots early helps keep operations calm and predictable.
- Predictability
- Routine over callouts
- Materials
- Gentle operation
- Operations
- SOPs & clear roles
- ESG
- Less harsh chemistry
Results depend on the building, hotspots and dosing intervals — that’s why we start with assessment and a pilot.
The core issue: cumulative fat load, odours and complaints
In residential buildings, many small kitchen actions add up to a cumulative fat load. Deposits build “invisibly” until flow, hygiene and materials suffer — while complaints, odour reports and callouts increase.
Why it happens
- Fats cool down, adhere to pipe walls and form layers.
- Usage patterns (daily cycles, weekends, holidays) create peaks.
- Mechanical measures treat symptoms — the cause returns.
- Odours (e.g., H₂S) increase when deposits and biofilm destabilize.
Typical operational impact
- Recurring blockages in stacks and main collectors.
- Odours in shafts/technical rooms → tenant dissatisfaction.
- Unplanned costs, stress and resource drain for the team.
The earlier prevention starts at hotspots, the less you end up in emergency-mode operations.
The solution: continuous biological fat breakdown
lipasanF® supports breaking fats down into easier-to-degrade components. Applied preventively, it helps reduce build-up and makes operations more predictable.
How it works in the system
Instead of a one-off “flush”, you establish ongoing relief in the pipe system.
- Target hotspots (stacks, collectors, transitions).
- Use off-hours (e.g., nights) as contact time.
- Tune intervals to real load patterns.
How we start
A clean start reduces effort: analyse first, then dose.
- 1Assessment: plans, hotspots, history (tickets/callouts/odours).
- 2Design: dosing points, amounts, intervals, responsibilities.
- 3Pilot: controlled test, adjust, document.
- 4Routine: SOPs, training, reporting cycle.
The pilot is the reality check: intervals get tailored to the property.
Why switch?
Less ad-hoc, more routine: easier budgets, calmer teams, simpler communication.
- Fewer incidents and complaints.
- Planned maintenance instead of escalation.
- ESG upside via reduced harsh chemistry.
Note: outcomes vary by property. We work with a pilot, monitoring and clear KPIs.
Typical properties
The approach scales with building structure and load profile — from standard multi-family sites to mixed-use buildings.
Mixed-use
Ground-floor food service / peak loads
Catch fat peaks before they hit the building’s main lines.
- Dose according to load cycles
- Protect downstream lines
- Reduce odour potential
High frequency
Homes / dorms / hotels
Many users and changing routines: SOPs + monitoring stabilize operations.
- Standard SOPs
- Training for tech/housekeeping
- Monitoring & reviews
What makes it work
Operational clarity matters: responsibilities, simple checklists and a review cycle turn “trying” into a stable process.
Benefits for property & facility teams
The value is both technical and operational: fewer escalations, clearer workflows and more predictable costs.
Fewer complaints
Less odour and blockage noise — calmer communication.
More predictable budgets
Routine processes are easier to budget than recurring ad-hoc callouts.
Less team stress
Fewer weekend emergencies — more time for planned work.
Material-friendly
Reduced use of harsh chemicals — better for seals, pipes and equipment.
ESG & reputation
Supports reporting, marketing and stakeholder expectations.
Scalable
A concept that works from small to large sites.
Operating model: from pilot to routine operations
Sustainable results come from biology, processes and stakeholders working together. The operating model stays lean — but consistent.
- 1Assessment: plans, hotspots, history (tickets/callouts/odours), target KPIs.
- 2Design: dosing points, amounts, intervals, contact times, responsibilities.
- 3Pilot: 4–6 weeks, weekly checks, interval adjustments.
- 4Rollout: SOPs, team training, standardized tenant communication.
- 5Operate: monitoring, quarterly reviews, KPI/ROI reporting.
- 6Improve: seasonal tuning, lessons learned, expansion.
ROI & KPIs — make economics visible
ROI comes from fewer callouts, fewer cleanings, longer material lifetime and reduced complaint handling.
Recommended KPIs
- Emergency callouts per quarter (count & cost)
- Complaints per quarter (odour / “drain not flowing”)
- Odour reports (frequency / hotspot)
- Cleaning cycles (frequency & cost)
- Material replacement (seals / pipes)

Document before/after: track incidents and costs, compare after the pilot, report quarterly.
Figures are property-specific — we work with your baseline data and document cleanly.
Compliance, safety & ESG
Biological fat breakdown supports environmental and safety goals: less harsh chemistry, material-friendly operations and clearer reporting.
- Material-friendly application (seals/pipes)
- No routine handling of aggressive chemicals
- Transparent KPIs for internal/external reporting
Documentation templates
- ESG section for quarterly reporting
- Work-safety notes (dosing process)
- Risk assessment (low risk)
Objections & answers
Typical questions from facility operations — answered briefly.
“We already use a drain snake — that’s enough.”
That treats symptoms. Prevention reduces new build-up and lowers escalation frequency.
“Chemicals act faster.”
Often short-term — but with material/environment downsides. Prevention is continuous and process-safe.
“We don’t have capacity.”
With SOPs and checklists the routine stays lean — the goal is less ad-hoc stress.
“How do we prove ROI?”
Track KPIs before/after the pilot (callouts, complaints, odours). A quarterly report makes impact visible.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Practical and to the point — for property and facility teams.
Is lipasanF® compatible with grease separators?
Yes. Preventive fat breakdown can reduce load on separators and help with odour potential.
What temperatures are ideal?
Typical building temperature ranges work; we provide storage and handling guidance during setup.
Do we need special approvals?
Usually not — we provide operating and safety instructions.
How much training is required?
Short and practical: dosing, SOPs and monitoring are enough.
Can tenants be involved?
Yes — simple do’s & don’ts (don’t pour fats into sinks, use strainers) help stability.
