Useful Grease Trap and Interceptor Information

Commercial establishments that serve food must have a grease trap (interceptor) to retain fats, oil and grease (F.O.G.) contained in water that passes thru drains before discharging into the city’s sewer and wastewater systems. Periodically, it is necessary to physically remove the F.O.G. from these traps or interceptors. Regular grease trap maintenance from a qualified and experienced company, like Restaurant Rescue, Inc., will help keep kitchen drain lines from backing up, or experiencing potential shutdowns brought on by overflows or fines.

Any floor drain that might direct FOG into the wastewater stream, including kitchen sinks, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and disposals, must pass via a grease trap. As depicted in this picture, heavier particles sink to the bottom while grease and oils float to the top. Grease and solids are kept out of the water stream by the water flowing through the exit pipe. Layers of oil and silt accumulate over time and, if unchecked, may block the water outflow or push its way into the sanitary sewer system.
