"Thermaco’s Big Dipper Automatic Grease Interceptor was the obvious choice, says Wade Sorensen, sales engineer at Northstar Environmental, who worked with the engineers on the Avaya Stadium project... Approval from local regulators was also straightforward, thanks to the Big Dipper’s proven performance and track record."
Since 1983, Big Dipper has helped restaurants and commercial kitchens choose, install, and maintain better grease interceptors
