What is a Grease Interceptor and How Does It Work?

Introduction to Grease Interceptors

  • A grease interceptor is an essential component of commercial kitchen plumbing that prevents grease from entering and clogging pipes.
  • The liquid entering the interceptor must flow through an inlet pipe, which includes a flow control device to prevent overload.

Functionality of Grease Interceptors

  • An air admission valve helps relieve pressure that may build up, ensuring proper operation.
  • Fats and oils float on the water's surface, accumulating behind retention walls known as deflectors, while heavier solids settle at the bottom.

Separation Process

  • Deflectors extend into the water to trap cooking oils, fats, and solids while allowing clean water to exit through the outlet pipe into the wastewater system.
