GRP Grease Trap

Grease Trap (also known as grease interceptors, and grease recovery devices) are plumbing devices designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system

Common wastewater contains small amounts of oils that enter into septic tanks and treatment facilities to form a floating scum layer. This scum layer is very slowly digested and broken down by microorganisms in the anaerobic process. However, very large amounts of oil from food production in kitchens and restaurants can overwhelm the septic tank or treatment facility, causing a release of untreated sewage into the environment

Also, high viscosity fats and cooking greases such as lard solidify when cooled, and can combine with other disposed solids to form blockages in the drainpipe

The grease trap has been used since the Victorian era. They are used to reduce the number of fats, oils, and greases (FOG’s) that enter the main sewers. Effectively they are boxes within the drain run that are located between the sinks in a kitchen and the sewer system

Grease Trap only have waste water flowing through them and are not served by any other drainage system such as toilets. Grease Trap can be made from many different materials; e. g Fiber-reinforced polymer such as the MTgroup-Trap design, Stainless steel, Plastics, concrete, cast iron and can hold anywhere between 40 liters to 45000 liters and above. They can be located above ground, below ground, inside the kitchen or outside the building

Fat and Grease Generation

One of the greatest drainage problems faced in kitchens and food preparation areas is the collection of fats, oils, and greases (FOG’s) within the drainage system

These substances form naturally from animal and vegetable foodstuffs and can have a major effect on the performance of any drainage system – both internal and external to the food processing area. As this substance cool, they solidify and subsequently can block drain pipes, gullies, foul air traps, and access chambers

Blockages in drainage systems are not uncommon and quickly manifest themselves with backfilling and eventual flooding of sinks, dishwashers, and food processing plants into the food preparation area giving rise to significant health risks. Hygienic, effective, and reliable methods of dealing with fats, oils, and grease are therefore vital if a clean and efficient working environment is to be maintained

.MTgroup Co provides solutions to these problems with a wide range of effective Grease Recovery Devices (GRD)and accessories to suit all applications
