Grease Traps / Interceptors
What is a Grease Trap or Grease Interceptor?
Commercial kitchens are required to install grease traps or grease interceptors at any drain where FOG (fats, oils and grease) can enter the wastewater system. Grease traps are installed between the restaurant drain and the sewer line, thereby allowing the FOG to be separated, collected and disposed of prior to reaching the municipal wastewater system.
Grease traps work by slowing the rate of water going into the drain. As the water slows, it also cools, allowing most of the FOG to float or coagulate and then float to the surface to be trapped in a baffle system. Heavier solids will drop to the bottom of the trap and cleaned water can then exit into the wastewater system.
CJ Septic offers a full range of installation, maintenance and repair services for grease trap systems.
