What type of waste is the grease trap specifically designed to manage?

The grease trap is specifically designed to manage grease and oil from food preparation. This type of waste, often found in kitchens and food service establishments, can clog pipes and disrupt the normal functioning of septic systems. Grease traps work by allowing these fatty substances to rise to the surface of wastewater, where they can be collected and removed, thus preventing them from entering the septic system and causing potential blockages and malfunctions.

By capturing grease and oil, the grease trap helps maintain the integrity of the plumbing and waste management system, ensuring that the wastewater can flow freely and that the biological decomposition processes in the septic system function properly. This is crucial for both environmental protection and the efficiency of wastewater treatment, particularly in commercial settings where large amounts of grease are produced.
