Reducing the amount of solids and grease through Grease Traps

Grease traps/grease interceptors are typically reservoirs, which vary in size, built into a discharge piping system a short distance from the grease producing area. Baffles in the traps slow the wastewater flow and reduce turbulence allowing the grease and water to separate. Grease naturally rises to the surface, and the trap retains the grease while allowing grease-free wastewater to flow into the sewer system. Grease must be removed from the trap periodically. Grease Trap is basically a device that captures grease entering a system before it reaches the sewer lines. Usually used in commercial applications such as restaurants or cafeterias.
