Grease Traps - Grease Interceptors

Facilities that produce a large volume of FOG (fats Oils Grease) usually install grease interceptors, also commonly called grease traps, outside the kitchen. Grease traps  are large, often preferable containers of 1000 gallons or more buried at ground level outside the foodservice facility. They are often required in new construction and require less maintenance than manual grease traps, but need maintenance from a professional grease collector that pumps the FOG from the containers.

The most commonly known and used is the simple grease trap or manual grease separator. Grease traps refer to a device used inside a facility to separate FOG and solid material from wastewater via a system of baffles before it enters the waste-stream. These devices are normally used in restaurants, relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain, but must be manually cleaned on a regular basis to remove the FOG.
