Grease Waste can cause drain line blockage and disrupt the STP process. Grease Traps have been around for more than 100 Years. The concept is quite simple, waste water (from commercial kitchens containing Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) enters Grease Trap. FOG does not mix with water and as FOG is lighter than water,it rises to the top. The waste water escapes under an outlet baffle.
Without the inclusion of the Grease Trap in commercial kitchen the health and safety of the establishment will be compromised. Grease will cause blockages and will lead to back flow which is very unhygienic and foul odour will create air pollution in the working area. If it is left untreated it will destabilized the STP system.
FOG flows through the sanitary sewer system much like bad cholesterol and fatty acids in the human body (which cause “hardening of arteries”).
FOG can accumulate and constrict flow and potentially cause blockages similar to plaque build up in blood vessels.
