GREASE TRAPS AND THE LAW
 

Many of the TOP Google advertising grease trap sales companies are mis-selling grease traps to unsuspecting end users.  Usually in the mis-selling of undersized or unsealed units.  Wrongly specified size is the users responsibility and relying on tables or catalogues stating a particular size will comply to regulation using 2 - sinks etc. when the actual capacities are well below the requirement or an automatic unit is sold as sealed unit when in fact it is not.

​

Another popular mis-sell is for enzyme dosing with claims that no grease trap is required.  This is totally false and leaves the operator open to serious fines when problems occur.

​

Grease trap sizing requires a careful assessment of the type of food and service management in the establishment.

Capacity of sinks, type and size of pipework and variations on chemicals in a specific calculation to comply with legislation.
