Self-tutoring about appliances: the tutor checks out the idea of a grease trap.<\/h2>\n

\nI recall decades ago talking to a restaurant owner who was sizing up a new project. He mentioned it needed a grease trap. Ever since then I’ve wondered what that meant – until now.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve seen grease traps before without recognizing them. Logically enough, you might find one in a restaurant dish pit – it may be a stainless steel box that rests on the floor.<\/p>\n

A grease trap separates grease and oil, along with particulate, from waste water:\n

    \n
  1. Within the fixture, it slows the flow of the water so the grease and oils can float up, forming a separate layer on top. This layer is skimmed off.<\/li>\n
  2. At the same time, heavier particulate falls to the bottom of the tank. It, too, needs periodic removal.<\/li>\n
  3. With the grease and oil removed as a top layer, and the particulate removed as precipitate, only water carrying soluble materials should pass through the grease trap.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nA grease trap is an elegantly conceived apparatus. Of course, they must be cleaned out regularly.<\/p>\n
