Grease Trap Installation

Grease Trap Installation

A grease trap is a piece of equipment used to filter out polluting matter originating from culinary activities, such as fats, oils, and macro waste before they make it to the sewer network. It is a device whose function is to block fat and waste from getting through. This grease separation process takes place upstream of the discharge of wastewater into the sewer network. The objective is to avoid polluting waterways and obstructing ducts. The grease trap is a compact device that can be buried or placed above ground. A buriable fat separator is usually a communal kitchen's feature of choice. This is the case, for example, for a company or school's cafeteria, hospitals, nursing or retirement homes, etc. Fat separators are usually used as restaurant kitchen equipment. A grease trap operates as follows: installed right before the wastewater draining pipe, it disbands fats and oils when they enter the degreaser. They then rise to the surface, while large particles (such as food remains) drop at the bottom of the tank. The depolluted water is then discharged through a dedicated outlet into the pipes towards the sewer network or a house's septic tank.
