Grease trap
BORALIT

A grease trap removes grease (vegetable and animal fat) from the wastewater. In the following circumstances the installation of a grease trap may be necessary:

* Individual dwellings: in order to prevent blockage of the pipes if the wastewater treatment system used is located too far from the kitchen.
* In restaurants, hotels, bars, schools, butchers, caterers... In these cases, a grease trap is always required.

The volume of the grease trap depends on the flow rate discharged, as well as on the temperature of the water and the contamination load. Please contact our technical service in order to determine which type of grease trap would be best for you.

For grease traps two versions exist with sludge collector:

* Built-in sludge collector: this type has a partition in the tank allowing the first compartment to function as a sludge collector (VVS).
* Built-on sludge collector: in this case a tank has been installed befor the grease trap. The big advantage is that installation of this type is easier and quicker than the installation of the type with a built-in sludge collector (VVAS)
