Well,
the commercial and residential kitchens tend to use lots of FOG (Fat, Oil and
Grease) for cooking purposes. The main problem is that FOG are disposed by
pouring down the drain. Although it may be liquid at the time of disposal, but
consequently it will solidify when it tends to cool. As a result, it will stick
to the pipe walls and can lead to clogs in the sewer. It’s quite inconvenient
and expensive issue; that’s the main reason why many cities have mandated that
the grease traps should be installed to keep away FOG from flowing into the
sewer or septic system.
Grease Trap- An
Excellent Solution To Prevent Clogging In Kitchens
A
grease trap is a large, rectangular shaped box; which is installed between the
sewer line and sewer main of a building. When the waste water will flow into
the grease trap, the FOG particles will rise to the top whereas the solid waste
particles will move to the bottom. Therefore, only the waste liquid will flow
out of the grease trap. However, a grease trap needs to be cleaned on a monthly
basis in order to avoid clogging, like a septic tank. With proper maintenance, a
grease trap can prevent clogs in the sewer line.
Install Grease Traps
and Protect Your Commercial and Residential Atmosphere
Usually,
a grease trap intercepts as well as traps FOG entering the drainage system. After
all, most wastewater in kitchen contains small amount of oils. However, the water
used to wash dishes, pots and pans, especially in the commercial kitchens like
restaurant must be filled with fats and grease. That’s the main reason why grease
traps are commonly installed in the commercial premises.
As
you know that grease and fats are in liquid form; when they are very hot; but
they will congeal within the drainage system after getting cool. This can lead
to severe plumbing damages. So it’s the task of the grease interceptors to
ensure that the grease and fat won’t come into the sewer system.
Working Principles of
Grease Traps
· When
greasy water will make its way into the grease trap, solid particles will sink
to the bottom of the trap while FOG will rise at the top.

easily through a grease trap.
