If you own or manage a commercial kitchen, it is important to have a good understanding of your wastewater management system. One important component of this system is the grease trap. A grease trap is designed to trap fats, oils, and grease (FOG) that is present in wastewater. In this article, we will provide you with information on how grease traps work, why they are important, and how to properly maintain them.
What is a Grease Trap?
A grease trap is a plumbing device that is installed in commercial kitchens and other food preparation areas. Its main function is to capture FOG before it enters the sewer system. Grease traps come in various sizes, and the size you need will depend on your specific requirements.
How Does a Grease Trap Work?
When wastewater enters a grease trap, it cools down and solidifies the FOG. The FOG rises to the top of the grease trap, where it is stored until it is removed. The remaining wastewater flows out of the grease trap and into the sewer system.
Do I Need a Grease Trap?
In most cases, local authorities require commercial kitchens to have a grease trap installed. Failure to do so can lead to costly consequences such as Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). SSOs occur when grease has solidified within the main sewer line and created a blockage. A grease trap is designed to prevent this from happening, making it an essential component of your wastewater management system.
