Choice
No.1: Do I need a grease trap at all?
Virtually all
commercial and some domestic kitchens will benefit from
installing an efficient grease trap. It will prevent the
blockage of the kitchen drains which is caused almost daily in
some kitchens by grease, fat and cooking oils cooling and
sticking to the drain pipe walls. Once the grease has been
separated and trapped, there is time for it to be treated or
alternatively, collected and removed.
Those kitchens which have literally no space for a grease trap
either inside or outside, below ground should install a liquid
dosing pump to inject bugfluid into the drain pipes every
night after the kitchen has closed. This will create a biomass
culture inside the pipes but is a more expensive option
long-term.

No.2:
Outside underground
or
Inside on the kitchen floor
Periodically
every grease trap will need to be opened up and inspected,
depending on the type of trap they will need to be cleaned
out. It is much better to have any mess or smell outside
rather than inside the kitchen. So if you have the space
outside, this is the best option.
Kitchens requiring to install an above-ground grease trap,
inside the kitchen, should check on the physical size of the
model to ensure there is sufficient space for the unit. |

Installation
above-ground inside the kitchen is a cheaper and easier way to
install but can be a disadvantage when maintenance is
required.

Underground
installation is the preferred option wherever space permits
and is the only option for larger units.

No.3: Biomass
grease treatment systems generally allow smaller users to
almost eliminate maintenance. Larger users may need a manually
emptied or tanker emptied Lamina Filtertrap but can often
reduce the maintenance requirement by using a biomass
creation system in addition.

A
biomass culture is created inside the greasetrap. The fats
oils and greases are consumed by the biomass converting it
into harmless water and CO2. The biomass culture needs a boost
every 4 months. This is normally achieved by the simple change
of a 'bugsock.' but alternatively can be boosted by the liquid
dosing pump injecting bugfluid into the grease trap every
night.

Manually
emptied Lamina Filtertraps have a hoist to lift the collection
tray above ground where the collected grease and sediment is
drained into collection bags for disposal.

Tanker
emptied Lamina Filtertraps are recommended for large catering
establishments and food processing factories. Sufficient
capacity is built into the units to allow very infrequent
emptying so that the tanker need only call every few months.

Tanker-Emptied Filtertraps
