Grease Trap and its different types

 Are you a food-based business owner? Then, you must be using cooking oil for your business purpose. The waste oil can’t be drained through the sewer system. You must filter off this oil before it enters the main sewer system. The government system recommends this and it’s a must to do in many countries.

As the name suggests grease traps are traps for grease. The grease trap is also known as a grease interceptor. There are interior traps and exterior traps. The interior traps are placed in the kitchen area near the sink or dishwasher. External traps are placed outside the building.

Wastewater will be a mix of fats, oil, and grease along with water. The fats, oil, and grease continue to accumulate in the pipes and it becomes problematic to the drainage system. This grease can cause sewer blockage. So, municipalities and local bodies have advised every commercial kitchen to use grease traps.

It’s not good to drain the wastewater without filtering off the FOG.                                                

There are three different types of grease traps.  This is based on the size and the requirement of a business firm.

1)            Passive hydromechanical grease trap

This is a traditional grease trap system. This is used in smaller establishments. This requires minimum amount to invest. According to our business needs different size of grease traps are available. This type can be easily installed. The patent of this type is already obtained by Nathaniel Whiting.

2)            Automatic grease traps

This is based on traditional grease traps. This is also known as automatic grease removal units (AGRU). The main difference is it re-heats and skims out the FOG automatically on a programmed schedule. This filtered FOG is then transferred to the collector bin for easy removal and recycling. Based on the amount of FOG accumulated the grease trap system works.

3)            Gravity grease traps

For huge companies usually gravity grease traps are better. These are in-ground tanks that are very bigger in size. This has high capacity and better flow is provided.

The grease traps are necessary for a kitchen unit. The grease trap must be cleaned in a frequent time. For cleaning grease traps, there are authorized companies and different cleaning products available in the market. Cleaning the grease trap is as important as draining off the wastewater.
