Grease Trap Function

The function of a grease trap, also known as a grease interceptor, is just that – trapping grease.  This is very important, especially for commercial businesses, like restaurants, that dispose of a lot of grease.  Grease, made up of fats and oils, has a lighter density than water.  This results in the grease not mixing with water, but floating on top.  As the wastewater enters the trap, the grease at the top is caught, while the water continues flowing through to the next treatment system.

If grease is not caught in a grease trap it flows directly into your pipes and treatment systems.  Grease, once it cools, solidifies into a solid.  If this is allowed to flow unchecked into pipes it causes those pipes to become clogged and back up.  This can destroy your entire waste system, damage your property, and even have negative effects on the environment.
