₨25,000.00Price

A grease trap (also known as grease interceptor, grease recovery device, grease capsule and grease converter) is a plumbing device (a type of trap) designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system.
Common wastewater contains small amounts of oils which enter into septic tanks and treatment facilities to form a floating scum layer. This scum layer is very slowly digested and broken down by microorganisms in the anaerobic digestion process.
Large amounts of oil from food preparation in restaurants can overwhelm a septic tank or treatment facility, causing release of untreated sewage into the environment.
High-viscosity fats and cooking grease such as lard solidify when cooled, and can combine with other disposed solids to block drain pipes.

  • FAQs

    • How do I dispose of the grease from the trap?

      For commercial Sites (Restaurants, Clinics, Hospitals and Appartments), there is a considerable amount being generated through large capacity grease traps (1800 Lts, 3000 Lts and 4700 Lts), then recyclers or haulers will come, pick it up and dispose of it upon request.

       

      For residentails sites, 140 Lts, 200 Lts and 350 Lts capacity Grease traps are used.   For these smaller volumes, it can be discarded by the resident by scraping the cooled – down FOGs (Fats, Oil and Grease) and disposing it in a sealed biodregardable plastic bag as Solid Wastes.

    • Where is the grease trap water disposed of?

      As with all waste streams, proper disposal is critical for the community and the environment. All waste pumped from our customer's grease traps are properly disposed to the absorption pit.

    • What happens if you don't install a grease trap?

      If you do not install a grease trap, the grease will harden in your pipes causing major blockage problems that can not only back up sinks but also sewer pipes. The health issues with this are obvious and can only be remedied by a professional who has to come to your establishment and unclog the pipes. It’s much easier and cost – efficient to install a trap than to avoid it.

    • How often should I clean my grease trap?

      Clean under-the-sink grease traps weekly. If grease traps are more than 50% full when cleaned weekly, then clean them more frequently.

    • Does a grease trap prevent blockage?

      Blockage will occur if the trap is not cleaned often enough.

    • What if my kitchen doesn't generate any grease and I don't use grease in my cooking? Do I still need a grease trap?

      Yes. A grease trap not only collects grease, it removes fats and oils, such as:

      • fats from butter, margarine, shortening and mayonnaise,
      • cooking oil,
      • salad oil,
      • grease from cooking or baking.
    • Occasionally my grease trap will back up and overflow, why does this occur?

      If grease traps are not maintained and cleaned on a regular basis, there will be a build-up of F.O. G’s and sludge which will cause blockage and pipe damage.
