Biological Grease Traps
All ACO biological grease traps work on the same principles: a biological activator is periodically injected into the connecting drainage pipe upstream of the trap. The mixture of contaminated water and activator flows into the trap and through a sediment bucket. The sediment bucket removes any larger particles that may be present in the drain waste. It is important to note that the sediment bucket volume is limited, therefore any significant amounts of debris should be removed before entering the grease trap. The physical capacity of the trap provides a separation area where relative density differences allow finer solids to settle to the trap floor and less dense FOGS to rise to the surface. Separation occurs relatively quickly, thereby allowing less contaminated water to flow to the outlet drain during periods of intense use. |
