This reduces the negative impact of fats on metal sewer pipes and helps prevent pipeline blockages. A domestic grease trap converts household wastewater into <strong>technically treated water<\/strong> that is safe for both the environment and sewer systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of an Under-Sink Kitchen Grease Separator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to affordability, domestic kitchen grease traps offer several advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>wastewater purified from grease particles does not clog sewer systems;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>high-quality manufacturing materials provide corrosion resistance;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sealed lids prevent the spread of unpleasant odors;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>simple design allows for easy and low-cost installation and connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grease Trap Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ziko.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/896e793a-b301-4c9f-8e89-fe64a61964b0.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:418px;height:278px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>domestic kitchen grease trap<\/strong> consists of the following structural components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a housing made of <strong>corrosion-resistant material<\/strong> with inlet and outlet connections;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>one, two, or three internal baffles that divide the grease trap into several chambers and slow down the water flow;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a <strong>sealed lid with a rubber gasket<\/strong>, which prevents the spread of unpleasant odors resulting from the decomposition of grease particles inside the separator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ziko.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/6e4c01c1-bbdd-4321-959f-44d38c47c9b2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:435px;height:245px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operating Principle of Grease Traps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Domestic grease traps for sewer systems operate according to the following principle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contaminated water from the sink enters the first chamber of the separator through the inlet connection. During sedimentation, grease impurities separate from the water and float to the surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the next stage, grease particles accumulated in the first chamber settle at the bottom of a dedicated tray, where they are retained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The water then flows through a lower connection into the second chamber of the separator, where final separation of grease residues not removed in the first chamber takes place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At the final stage, the treated water is discharged from the grease trap through the outlet connection into the sewer system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During wastewater treatment, undissolved particles accumulate in the first chamber of the domestic grease trap; therefore, the separator requires <strong>regular cleaning and washing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classification and Materials of Grease Traps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All domestic grease traps for sewer systems operate on the same principle. However, models may differ in <strong>installation method<\/strong>. Some grease traps are installed horizontally, while others are designed for vertical installation. The choice depends on the layout and direction of the sewer pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under-sink domestic grease traps are manufactured from <strong>corrosion-resistant materials<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Metal<\/strong>. Grease traps made of stainless steel or aluminum are efficient and durable but relatively expensive. Metal separators are highly reliable, long-lasting, and easy to clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fiberglass<\/strong>. Fiberglass under-sink grease traps are strong and resistant to chemical exposure. Such units can be installed outdoors or buried underground.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polyethylene and polypropylene<\/strong>. Grease traps made from these materials are affordable, lightweight, and easy to maintain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Criteria for Selecting Grease Traps for Sewer Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before selecting and purchasing a grease trap, it is necessary to determine a number of key parameters the unit must meet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Available space under the sink<\/strong>. Clearance must be provided above and on the sides of the separator for pipe connection and lid removal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of sinks<\/strong>. When calculating grease trap capacity, the total wastewater volume from all active taps must be taken into account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diameter of sewer pipes and inlet\/outlet connections<\/strong>. These must match to allow installation without special adapters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wastewater composition<\/strong>. If the effluent contains a high concentration of solid particles, a grease trap with multiple internal baffles is recommended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sink volume<\/strong>. In some cases, rapid discharge of a fully filled sink is required. The grease trap documentation must specify the maximum volume of water that can be supplied to the unit at one time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Material of manufacture<\/strong>. If the separator is installed in a visible location, a stainless steel grease trap is preferable. For under-sink installation, a cost-effective plastic model is usually sufficient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ziko.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/42308baf-5aac-46da-99fc-4c77d4c26922.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:473px;height:447px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase a <strong>domestic under-sink grease trap<\/strong> for a kitchen sink from the ZIKO online store.
