WHY IS FOODWASTE AND GREASE A PROBLEM? Each year nearly half a million tonnes of grease and fat enter the UK and Ireland’s sewerage system. Grease will stick to pipe walls and eventually cause blockages. Fats and oils get just about everywhere and can seriously damage waste water treatment equipment, costing municipalities millions in repairs every year. Fats, oils and grease (FOG) allowed to enter a natural water course will cause damage to the environment. Grease is a problem for most city municipalities and consequently legislation to prevent FOG pollution is being enforced. Polluters face large fines or closure if they fail to manage their FOG waste effectively. Luckily there are numerous systems for handling FOG. Grease traps and grease removal units can be installed by kitchen operators to trap FOG at source and remove it before any damage is caused. WE CAN HELP! GREASE RECOVERY DEVICES: Typically installed under sinks orin basements. Trap and remove grease automatically. SINK STRAINERS & SOLIDS TRAPS: Designed to fit onto sinks to strain food waste. COFFEE FILTERS: Connected to sinks or the coffee machine itself. MANUAL UNDERSINK GREASE TRAPS: A basic system that fits under sinks. Needs to be pumped out regularly to maintain efficiency. UNDERGROUND GREASE TRAPS: Large grease trap that must be pumped out at least once a month. [www.greaseguardian.com](www.greaseguardian.com) What system is for me? There are many ways to trap and remove grease. The traditional method is to install a large grease trap into the ground outside the kitchen. This trap then needs to be emptied every month by a licensed pumper/recycler. If there is no space outside then the option to install a grease trap inside the kitchen exists. A manual grease trap can be installed under a sink but must be emptied at least once a month, depending on how busy the kitchen is. In some cases the grease inside the trap can be treated with chemicals, enzymes or bacteria. For busier kitchensit is advised to install an automatic grease removal unit, capable of trapping and removing the FOG waste on a daily basis. Both manual and automatic traps can be installed in basements when there is no space in the kitchen or outside.

FAQs

Why is grease and food waste considered a problem for sewerage systems?

Grease sticks to pipe walls and can lead to blockages. Fats and oils spread broadly and can seriously damage wastewater treatment equipment, while FOG discharged to natural water courses can harm the environment.

What types of grease management devices are offered for kitchens?

The catalogue covers grease recovery devices under sinks or in basements, sink strainers and solids traps, coffee filter connections, manual undersink grease traps, underground grease traps, and automatic grease removal units.

How should a buyer choose the right grease-trapping system?

Selection depends on available space and kitchen throughput. It contrasts traditional ground traps emptied monthly, manual undersink options needing regular pump-outs, and automatic systems designed for daily trapping and removal, with a help table for different installation scenarios.
