In today's article, we talk about the function of the grease trap, types will be discussed, and about it, in which cases their application is essential.
What is a grease trap and how does it work??
The grease separator, or otherwise known as a grease trap is a special container, which selects the fat from the flowing sewage, oil and sludge. While fats and oils with a lighter specific gravity than water remain on the surface of the water, until then, solid sludge materials and heavier fats settle.
When to use it?
In that case, the installation of the grease separator is indispensable, if that's the goal, so that the fat content of the effluent meets the regulations. Different required by law that, how much of what can flow into the public sewer, therefore at such facilities, where wastewater with a high fat content is generated, like sun (for example in a kitchen, or at any food processing facility), there is a requirement to install a grease separator.
Varieties
There are also types of grease traps. According to their material, we can distinguish iron, made of plastic, even a grease trap made of concrete. Their size is also different, this is determined by the amount of wastewater flowing through them. The grease separator can be supplemented with, for example, acid neutralizers as needed, or with starch catch basins. Grease separators can be installed according to their location sink below, indoor recessed, indoor standing as well as outdoor grease traps. According to their operating principle, we can distinguish between automatic and manual grease separators.
Commissioning of grease trap equipment
The first step before installation, to completely clean the device from the ground, from other material residues and glue. In the second step, we have to fill both the sludge trap and the separator with clean water, and must be thoroughly reviewed, especially for seals, that there is no water leaking from the grease separator. Later on, it's just that kind of thing waste water it is allowed to lead to the grease trap, which will not hinder its operation, or cause its failure. In case, if inappropriate waste water enters it, blockage may develop. It is also important to keep in mind before using it, that the grease trap is most effective when first connected, as fat, or other residues are included, performance is constantly decreasing. That's important too, to install a suitable size grease trap, because, if smaller is included, needs to be replaced and cleaned many times. When choosing the right equipment, ask a water engineer specialist help!
