Grease Separators

The grease separator is used to separate oil and grease substances contained mainly in kitchen grey water.

Grease separator is a necessity for smooth kitchen operations otherwise grease accumulates and causes serious problems as drain line blockages, excessive pumping, malodors and problems in sewage system operation.

The grease separator usually has two chambers.

• The heavier sediments are collected at the bottom, at the deepest point of the grease trap, in the first chamber at the entrance.
• Oils and fats have a specific weight lighter than water and accumulate on the surface of the grease separator.

The below mentioned Ministerial decisions (only in Greek) contain all relevant legislation concerning the obligatory use of grease separators in businesses.

Υ1γ/Γ.Π/οικ.96967/2012 Υ.Δ (article 5) and 5673/1997 Υ.Α. (article 8).

Grease separators are available in various models and sizes depending on the use, volume and composition of the grey water passing through it. The needs of a residence are totally different from those of a restaurant or industry.

We offer Polyester grease separators made of fiberglass.

Factory standard models made from GRP (glass reinfoced plastic) with two chambers. Their nominal size varies from 0,5 l/s to 4 l/s.

Larger models designed on demand depending on the project requirements.

There are two factory models, Small & Medium (unicellular separators) that can be placed under the sink.

Grease Separator with sediment retention chamber for Kitchen’s greywater pretreatment.

Separates grease and oil substances. The different density of pollutants allows their separation. The fat, being lighter than water, is concentrated at the surface and is removed

Ideal for limited space, bellow the sink.

ADVANTAGES

• Small size grease separator placed under the sinks
• Construction material with high resistance on grease and endurance on time
• Light weight, easy to transfer
• Easy setup
• Easy maintenance
• Manufactured in Greece

TECHNICAL DATA

• Tank made of polyester reinforced with glass fibers known as G.R.P.
• Screw caps made of polypropylene
• Nominal Flow (N.F.) 0,15 to 0,2 lt/sec
• Extra options: Emptying mechanism with ball shut off valve

MAINTENANCE: The superficial fat needs to be cleaned at least every 2 to 3 days (depending on use). Complete cleaning of the grease separator once a week.
The good performance of the grease separator depends on proper maintenance
