5.1 Grease separators 311

Operation of a grease

separator

The operation of grease separators is based on the gravity

principle. Lighter than water oil and grease float to the surface

of the separator, heavier than water flood sludge settle to

the bottom of the separator and the clean treated water leaves

the separator via a protected outlet.

The contaminated wastewater

is routed into the grease

separator where it is slowed

down by a deflector plate.

Substances that are heavier

than water sink to the bottom

and settle in the sludge trap.

Grease and oil rise to the top

and form a grease layer that

is retained between the inlet

and outlet.

Polymer grease

separators

Polymer grease separator systems

are an advantageous alternative

to stainless steel solutions as

they 100 % corrosion free.

The polyethylene material used is

resistant to aggressive fatty acids –

and therefore particularly durable.

In addition to the statutory provision,

we provide a 20-year warranty with

regard to the leak tightness and

structural safety of tanks and upper

sections.
