Grease taps, which are also known as grease interceptors, are used by commercial establishments that serve food, such as restaurants; hotels; pubs, bars and inns; cafes; takeaways; bakeries; and schools and colleges. Basically, it is a container through which wastewater is allowed to go through in order to remove or intercept fats, oils and grease (FOG) to prevent them from clogging pipes and causing harm to the environment.

There are three main types of grease traps available in the market. These are the passive hydromechanical or manual grease traps, gravity grease traps, and automatic grease traps. North Plumbing has the capability to install or repair any type. The conventional passive type of grease traps are the most common, particularly in the smaller commercial establishments. This is mostly due to the low initial investment cost and the broad range of sizes to choose from. These smaller versions can easily be installed under most sinks but there are also bigger units for bigger establishments with bigger volumes of wastewater.

The gravity grease traps are usually large in-ground tanks made of concrete, steel, or fiberglass. And they work in the same way as the passive grease traps except that they have a much larger capacity and they tend to work better for high flow wastewater applications. However, these gravity traps will need to be pumped out regularly and this is the job of specialists in grease management, such as North Texas Plumbing.

And finally, the automatic grease traps are also known as automatic grease removal units (AGRUs) and they also use some of the key principles used in the conventional passive grease trap, except that they also reheat and skim out the FOG automatically according to a predetermined schedule. The skimmed FOG is then moved to a collector bin for easy removal and recycling. The schedule of skimming is typically based on the quantity of FOG that is produced by the commercial establishment and is determined in such a way that operators won’t need to monitor the grease levels. The disadvantage of AGRUs is that they have a higher initial investment cost. However, these units make up for the higher costs through higher efficiency and have lower expenses for operation and long term servicing.
