Grease traps are a valuable tool that utilities and food service establishments can deploy to minimize fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in their collection systems. These devices come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but share many of the same principles to remove FOG from water after it is used to prepare food and is discharged as wastewater. In this video, we present the components of and demonstrate how to inspect a few example grease traps. Join us for this opportunity to learn about the devices protecting your system!
