About the Product
The Jumbo Grease Trap actively manages fats, oils, and grease (FOGs) with its advanced underground interceptor design. By slowing the flow of wastewater, it effectively allows the water to cool and separate into three distinct layers: FOGs, solids, and water. Since FOGs have a lower specific gravity than water, they float to the top, forming a grease layer, while heavier solids settle at the bottom. Generally, this process is known as gravity separation, which is a proven method utilized in all passive grease traps.
Enhanced Separation Process
The Jumbo’s patented design significantly improves this separation by incorporating a step that creates a defined flow path. This moulded step not only enhances the settlement but also increases the storage of solids and sludge, ensuring efficient operation.
Additionally, the Jumbo Grease Trap is compatible exclusively with 110mm EN 1401 pipework and boasts a capacity of 340 litres.
Volume Requirements
- Grease Separation Chamber: The minimum volume required is calculated as the Nominal Size (NS) multiplied by 0.24 cubic meters, equating to 240 litres for an NS1 unit.
- Sludge Trap: You can integrate the sludge trap within a single-stage interceptor or situate it as a separate unit before the grease separation tank. The minimum volume for the sludge trap is 100 x NS in litres, meaning an NS1 unit requires at least 100 litres. For facilities like food processing plants and abattoirs, where larger amounts of solids are expected, the sludge trap volume should be at least 200 x NS in litres. In these cases, we recommend the JGT1 model with a primary sludge trap of 100 litres minimum capacity.
