Grease Traps

In commercial kitchens, where large amounts of greasy and oily substances are generated from cooking and food preparation, grease traps are indispensable. They are typically installed in the kitchen's plumbing system, specifically in the wastewater flow between the sinks and the sewer or septic system. As wastewater from the kitchen flows through the grease trap, the trap's baffles and chambers slow down the flow, allowing the grease and solid particles to separate from the water. The grease rises to the top and is trapped in the grease trap, while the clarified water continues to flow down the drain.

Grease traps are crucial in preventing clogs in plumbing lines and maintaining the smooth operation of commercial kitchens. Without proper grease trap maintenance, accumulated grease can solidify and block pipes, leading to costly repairs, foul odors, and even shutdowns. Grease traps also play a vital role in protecting the environment by preventing grease and other pollutants from entering sewer systems and polluting water bodies, which can have severe consequences on local ecosystems.

To ensure effective grease trap operation, regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial. Depending on the size and usage of the commercial kitchen, grease traps may require cleaning as frequently as once a week or as infrequently as once every few months. Professional grease trap cleaning services are often employed to properly remove the accumulated grease and ensure compliance with local regulations.
