Grease trap noun – def. ‘: a trap in a drain or waste pipe to prevent grease from passing into a sewer system’ Source: Merriam-Webster.com

Having recently become somewhat of a buzz word in the commercial foodservice industry and often associated with the terms fatberg and FOG (fats, oil and grease), grease traps are not a new thing. Surprisingly, the idea of a grease trap specifically designed to prevent fats, oils and grease from entering the sewer system, has been around since the Victorian era (late 19^th Century) where it seems that troublesome drain blockages also appear to have caused issues. These first primitive boxes are what all grease traps today are based on.

Grease traps have emerged on to the market in a big way what with the public’s attention being drawn to those hideous fatbergs clogging up sewer systems. To tackle those immense conglomerations of fats, oils, grease, baby wipes and condoms plus anything else people deem to throw down the drain, businesses need a tried and tested product that’s up to the job.

With a little research into the arena of grease traps it soon becomes apparent that there are two main types of systems – passive (manual) or automatic (grease recovery units).
