It is essential to understand the distinction between grease interceptors and grease traps, particularly concerning their handling capacities. Grease traps can manage water flow rates of less than 50 gallons per minute, catering to smaller establishments. In contrast, grease interceptors are specifically designed for larger establishments that discharge a higher volume of wastewater. Grease interceptors can handle more than 50 gallons of water flow per minute, maintaining their effectiveness even under substantial demand.
Efficient operation of grease interceptors hinges upon proper maintenance and regular cleaning. Failure to remove FOG from the interceptor promptly can lead to sewer line blockages and overflows within your establishment. If these substances infiltrate the city drainage system, they can cause significant clogs and eventual system failure. Consequently, municipal authorities across the USA mandate the installation of grease interceptors (or grease traps for smaller establishments) in all commercial kitchens. Timely cleaning is equally vital; neglecting this responsibility may render you liable for damages incurred by other businesses or residences in the city due to obstruction. Non-compliance can result in citations and substantial fines, or, in severe cases, suspension of your business license until the issue is resolved.
Regular inspection of inlet and outlet baffies ensures optimal system performance and prevents issues.
Efficient disposal of fats, oils, grease, wastewater, and solids is essential for a clean and sustainable environment.
Responsible disposal: All collected waste is safely hauled, promoting environmental stewardship.
Comprehensive manifest reports provide detailed insights, ensuring accountability and transparency in all operations.
A grease interceptor is a larger, outdoor unit typically installed underground, designed to handle high-volume waste from commercial kitchens. Unlike smaller indoor grease traps, interceptors can hold more waste and separate grease over longer retention times, making them ideal for restaurants and food processing facilities.
Cleaning frequency depends on usage and local regulations, but most commercial kitchens should schedule cleaning every 1 to 3 months. Interceptors must be cleaned when grease and solids reach 25% of the tank’s capacity to ensure proper function and compliance.
Failure to clean your grease interceptor can result in backups, foul odors, overflows, and non-compliance with local wastewater regulations. Over time, this can lead to costly plumbing issues, health code violations, or even temporary business closure.
Professionals pump out all waste from the interceptor, remove solid buildup, scrape internal walls, and inspect for damage. The unit is then flushed with water and checked to ensure it functions properly. A detailed report may also be provided for compliance records.
