Our Oil & Grease Interceptors utilize advanced technology to effectively capture and remove oils, fats, and grease from wastewater. With a high-efficiency design, these interceptors prevent these substances from entering the sewer system, ensuring compliance with regulations and reducing the risk of environmental pollution.

The purpose of the gravity grease is to lower the concentration of FOG (fats, oils, and greases) in wastewater. Establishments utilize grease interceptors to get rid of excess grease that could obstruct proper wastewater treatment and drainage. FOG build-up can result in blockages and sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), which cause expenses to rise and disturbances to wastewater treatment processes.The majority of municipal plumbing codes forbid industrial users from releasing more than 100 mg/l of FOG into the public sewer system. Food processing facilities, institutional kitchens, and commercial wastewater are typical applications. These facilities typically release waste that includes detergents, high organic loads, FOG, suspended food particles, and water with a high temperature.

Grease traps, also called gravity grease interceptors, operate based on the buoyancy principle. Vegetable and animal oils, such as grease, are ten to fifteen percent less dense than water and will float on the surface of it. Wastewater is given time to cool and separate into three layers when it enters a grease interceptor because of the significant velocity reduction. Inside the interceptor, grease rises to the top where it is caught by a system of baffles. The separated clear water escapes beneath an outlet baffle, while the solids settle at the bottom. In order to decrease the number of solids that settle at the bottom of the interceptor, strainers for collecting solid debris can also be added to grease interceptors. The grease interceptor will eventually fill with solid and grease build-up. Maintaining a regular cleaning schedule will guarantee that every interceptor operates at its best.
