Grease Water Separator

This undesirable condition is encountered when the evacuation and or ejection of solids from the separator is attempted along with grease separation.

Grease water separator.

They are available in two or three compartment configurations. A stopper in the spout keeps liquid from entering the spout as the cup is filled so very little fat will enter the spout. From sinks and dishwashers should first pass through a grease separator before it is discharged into a holding tank. Meanwhile the strainer top keeps large pieces out of the liquid.

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. Therefore all waste water from kitchen areas i e. They have internal structures that facilitate the binding of oil droplets together. 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.

Oil separators are more advanced forms of equipment for separating oil from water. This fat separator is the classic design with a spout that connects to the lower part of the cup. Fat and oil mainly get into the waste water via food residues. As fluid enters the first chamber preliminary sedimentation and oil removal occur.
