About Grease Traps
Waste fats, oils and greases (FOG) from food service establishments cannot be treated in the wastewater system and must be kept out of the sewers. FOG is does not dissolve in wastewater at normal temperatures. It sticks to surfaces of pipes causing blockages in the sewer system and to the surfaces of equipment in the treatment plant causing further blockages, and equipment breakdown.
The FOG will continue to build up in the sewer line restricting flow, and will eventually cause blockages. Grease Traps All food service establishments should have a trap installed on the waste water outlet to enable removal of FOG. A grease trap works by slowing down the flow of hot greasy water allowing it to cool and the FOG to solidify. The FOG is trapped by ‘baffles’ preventing it from entering the sewer system. The grease must be physically removed from the unit.
Grease interceptors and Grease Tanks
Capture the fats, oil, and grease flowing down kitchen drains and stop them from flowing to the sewer
