???? NOT ALL GREASE TRAPS ARE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD! ????

Many restaurant owners assume that as long as a grease trap is installed, everything is under control.

Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

A grease trap only works effectively when:
✅ It is properly sized
✅ Internal baffles are intact
✅ Grease and sludge are removed regularly
✅ Daily enzyme dosing is carried out consistently

### How a Grease Trap Works
A grease trap separates kitchen wastewater into three layers:

???? Top Layer: Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG)
???? Middle Layer: Water
???? Bottom Layer: Food solids and sludge

Only the cleaner water in the middle should flow to the outlet.

### Signs Your Grease Trap Is Not Working
❌ Strong foul odor
❌ Frequent drain blockages
❌ Grease visible in the outlet chamber
❌ Sludge buildup exceeds 25% of tank depth
❌ Missing or damaged baffles
❌ Grease being discharged into public drains

### Why This Matters
A poorly maintained grease trap can lead to:
• Blocked drains
• Unpleasant odors
• Pest infestations
• Sewage overflows
• Municipal council fines

### Best Practice
✔ Dose enzyme daily
✔ Inspect weekly
✔ Clean the grease trap after the first week of treatment
✔ Remove accumulated grease and sludge regularly

Remember: Enzymes help break down grease, but they do not eliminate the need for manual cleaning.

If your kitchen is experiencing recurring drain issues, your grease trap may be undersized, damaged, or overdue for maintenance.
