What Is A Grease Trap?

The primary use of grease traps is in restaurants, although they're also used in industrial facilities and even large homes. A grease trap functions by catching and stopping grease at its source. This stops grease from clogging a sewer line, then moving to the municipal treatment plant, allowing for a more efficient and less expensive wastewater treatment process. While grease traps aren't required in homes, they are required in restaurants to avoid clogging of food and buildup, keeping facilities clean and well-functioning. 

How Does A Grease Trap Work?

While there are multiple grease trap types, but they all function in the roughly the same way. Grease traps act as indoor reservoirs, holding back food, fat, grease, and wastewater. Eventually, these substances float to the top, and wastewater flows through the trap and out to the sewer. While the food and fat from restaurant runoff increase in volume, they eventually move to the bottom of the grease trap, moving wastewater into the sewer or septic system for high-quality waste management. Imagine if all of that buildup and wastewater was allowed to increase and just stay there? A grease trap eliminates this waste and keeps facilities running smoothly.
