Grease Water Separator

They are available in two or three compartment configurations.

Grease water separator.

From sinks and dishwashers should first pass through a grease separator before it is discharged into a holding tank. Therefore all waste water from kitchen areas i e. Industrial grease traps or oil water separators are commonly used where industrial floor drains are subject to the collection of motor oil transmission fluids hydraulic oils grease etc. A stopper in the spout keeps liquid from entering the spout as the cup is filled so very little fat will enter the spout.

Oil separators are more advanced forms of equipment for separating oil from water. Therefore grease separators are crucial for wastewater management systems. As fluid enters the first chamber preliminary sedimentation and oil removal occur. Stormwater or wastewater containing oil grease or other total petroleum hydrocarbons tph enters the underground precast concrete coalescing separator through the inlet pipe.

Short circuiting is produced when water is allowed to pass under the inlet baffle and along the bottom of the separator directly to the outlet at a velocity too high to permit grease separation. Meanwhile the strainer top keeps large pieces out of the liquid. This undesirable condition is encountered when the evacuation and or ejection of solids from the separator is attempted along with grease separation. They have internal structures that facilitate the binding of oil droplets together.
