WHAT IS A GREASE TRAP?
A grease trap, or sometimes referred to as a grease interceptor, serves merely as a collection point for FOG (Fat, Oil, and Grease) that is generated daily from your establishment and preventing such materials from entering the municipal wastewater sewer system. Most commonly, the grease trap is located outside. It is a pre-cast structure that can even be placed in traffic areas to maximize space and provide an easier access for No Drip Plumbing.
WHAT DOES A GREASE TRAP DO?
Grease traps slow down the flow of water coming from drains, allowing the water & grease time to cool. This cooling causes the grease to coagulate and float to the top, while other, heavier solids, fall to the bottom of the trap. The remaining water is free to pass through on to the city sewer lines.
WHY DO I NEED A GREASE TRAP?
FOG creates all kind of challenges for municipal wastewater systems, which is why local governments require all commercial kitchens to have a grease trap installed. In addition, enforcement by municipalities is on the upswing, with many municipalities setting the required frequency and manifesting of your Grease Trap. This requires complete and accurate record keeping and compliance. That is where No Drip Plumbing, with over 20 years of service in South Florida becomes your ally in fighting FOG. With a service contract from Johnson Environmental Services you can rest assured that.
TIPS ON GREASE TRAP CLEANING FREQUENCY
It is important to clean your grease trap/interceptor regularly to prevent fats, oil and grease (FOG) from mixing with water that is discharged to the sewer. The minimum cleaning frequency required for grease traps/interceptors in food service facilities may be dictated by the municipality or county that your business is located in, many require a service every 90 days. However, more frequent cleaning intervals may be necessary to prevent your grease trap/interceptor from operating poorly or improperly. FOG can have a detrimental impact not only on your facility, but the environment as well. FOG- clogged lines can back sewage up into your establishment and overflow out of manholes in parking lots and streets. If you see floating grease or grease deposits in a cleanout “downstream” of your trap/interceptor, you need to increase the cleaning frequency and initiate a more regular schedule.
