Eating greasy foods may or may not clog
your arteries, but one thing is certain:
Grease that enters our wastewater systems
from restaurants and other dining establishments
will eventually clog a sewer system.
Nonexistent or ineffective pretreatment
programs result in the discharge of
large quantities of grease into our
wastewater systems. Solidified grease
then causes stoppages of the piping
networks and creates problems at treatment
plants that are costly and time-consuming
to fix. Sewer clogs can also cause considerable
health hazards when raw sewage backs
up into residences or commercial establishments.
Grease interceptors remove grease from
the waste stream to bring the water
to acceptable standards before discharging
it into a sanitary sewer system. The
grease interceptors should be easy to
maintain and large enough to hold considerable
amounts of grease to allow for sufficient
retention time.
Precast concrete grease interceptors
are the best choice for effective grease
removal. Only properly-sized outdoor
type grease interceptors provide acceptable
effluent quality. Precast concrete grease
interceptors are easily produced to
be watertight, durable during storage
and transportation, easy to install
and provide a healthy restaurant environment.
