Underground Grease Trap - 300 and 500l
The underground grease traps have a passive design, which works by simply slowing the flow of wastewater, allowing it to cool and separate into two separate layers within the trap.
Firstly solids and food waste being heavier than water will drop to the base of the chamber. GT models all have deep vertical design that enhances the fat, oil and grease (FOG’s) separation process, offering better settlement and storage of solids and sludge at the base of the trap.
FOG’s entering the trap that have a specific gravity less than the retained water in the unit and will separate and FOG's will float to the top water level. This is known as ‘Gravity Separation’ which is a proven design that all passive grease traps work on.
Application
The GT300 and GT500 grease trap is designed for small commercial kitchens and restaurants, as fast food/takeaway establishments that are cooking with fats and oils and using multiple sinks to clean dishes and cooking utensils, so are potentially discharging FOG's via those sinks
Location and Ventilation
For the wastewater from the facility to have a chance to cool down before entering the unit, we suggest that it is placed a minimum of 3 meters away from the final sink or discharge point and that it is connected to a vent stack. If located inside a building, then a sealed access cover will need to be used to prevent odours.
Maintenance
Regular checks are required for the grease trap, to check the levels of FOG's and more. Weekly inspection and a minimum 6 monthly checks/cleans are recommended, full clean and emptying, which could be more regular, dependent on the type of facility the trap is installed.
