Fat Trap and Oil Disposal
Fat Trap and Oil Disposal Services are professional solutions designed to address the challenges associated with the management and disposal of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in various commercial and industrial settings. This service offering helps businesses ensure compliance with regulations, maintain operational efficiency, and promote environmental sustainability.
Fat traps, also known as grease traps or interceptors, are essential components installed in plumbing systems to capture FOG and prevent them from entering the sewer network. These traps collect FOG and solid debris, allowing only the wastewater to flow through. Over time, fat traps can become clogged and require proper maintenance and disposal to prevent backups, odors, and environmental contamination.

Tips for managing and maintaining fat traps
Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
Schedule regular cleaning and maintenance for fat traps based on the usage and volume of FOG produced. This helps prevent excessive buildup and blockages.
Follow Local Regulations
Familiarize yourself with local regulations and guidelines for fat trap maintenance and disposal. Ensure compliance with requirements set by environmental agencies or wastewater management authorities.
Monitor Fat Trap Levels
Regularly check the fat trap levels to determine when it needs cleaning. This can be done visually or by using level sensors, which trigger a maintenance schedule based on the volume of FOG accumulated.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as bleach or drain cleaners, in the vicinity of the fat trap. These chemicals can disrupt the microbial balance and reduce the trap's effectiveness in breaking down FOG.
