# Kapillary

> Kapillary provides continuous grease interceptor monitoring for municipal FOG programs and food service establishments. Its FOG Meter combines industrial IoT hardware, non-contact sensing, cellular connectivity, trend analysis, forecasting, automated alerts, and service verification.

Kapillary replaces periodic inspection snapshots with real-time visibility. The system helps municipal teams identify high-risk sites, prioritize limited field resources, communicate compliance needs with evidence, and act before an interceptor reaches capacity.

## Key facts

- Industrial IoT sensors mount beneath a grease-interceptor manhole cover.
- An LTE-M cellular antenna mounts on the cover in a configuration similar to common water meters.
- Installation requires no dedicated power drop or data line.
- Kapillary uses a non-contact sensing method intended to avoid corrosion and biological fouling associated with equipment exposed to the waste stream.
- The system analyzes daily fill-rate trends to forecast when an interceptor may reach capacity.
- Forecasts are compared with the food service establishment's planned pumping schedule.
- Alerts can recommend increased service frequency or require immediate pump-out when a threshold is exceeded.
- The system can verify that service occurred, estimate how much material was removed, and reset compliance status.
- Pattern detection can flag concerns including incomplete waste-haul service, inflow and infiltration, siphoning, and downstream obstruction.
