The Purpose of a Grease Trap

A grease trap is an essential part of managing wastewater systems in many commercial properties. The purpose of a grease trap is to catch and retain FOGs (fats, oils, and greases) so they don't end up in wastewater systems where they can create clogs and buildup. 

Without using a grease trap, huge amounts of FOGs would end up in the sewage lines, leading to backups that can hurt the environment, damage drainage systems, and even cause flooding. Grease traps are usually installed beneath sinks or directly into pipes to act as a one-way filter that allows water through but retains solid grease particles which can then be collected and disposed of safely.

 This simple but effective method saves businesses time and money by keeping the premises clean and free from debris.
