commercial kitchen grease management

Grease management

Commercial kitchens are challenging environments and whether you run a large school or hotel kitchen, or are the owner-manager of a small catering business, FOG can have a major impact on your business.

Grease separators are essential in any setting where animal or vegetable fats enter the wastewater system. In commercial kitchens, pre-treatment plants are a
necessity. These systems prevent solids and liquids that can release harmful or unpleasant vapors, or otherwise interfere with operations, from being
discharged into the public sewerage network.
Without these pre-treatment systems, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in the wastewater pose significant risks. They can accumulate on the walls of pipes, leading
to corrosion, blockages, and unpleasant odors. Additionally, they can damage the pipe system, drainage equipment, and the broader sewer network.
Proper use of grease separators ensures the longevity and efficiency of your plumbing and helps maintain a safe and hygienic environment in your kitchen.

What is FOG?

FOG is the abbreviation for the fats, oils and grease which are found in the wastewater produced by kitchens. FOG comprises fats, oil, grease created by food debris, fats and oils used in the cooking process, and the washing of food equipment, utensils and crockery. All kitchens produce wastewater which contains fats, oils and greases (FOG) as well as food debris.

Save time and costs with our wide portfolio of grease separators, grease traps and grease interceptors for kitchens of all sizes.

Installing a grease trap or separator will help:

  • Keep your business running smoothly and avoid losing income due to
    kitchen closure while the drains are blocked.
  • By preventing internal drain blockages and so avoid the cost and
    management time in organising jet washing of internal drains is greatly
    reduced.
  • Avoid odours from your restaurant due to blocked drains that might
    lead to visits from Environmental Health Services.
  • Safer environment for your staff, your food and your customer.
  • Minimize the possibility of food contamination.
  • Compliance with legal regulations. Certified technology that meets
    the requirements of EN 1825 and DIN 4040-100

ACO Grease Separators catalog

Different types and sizes of commercial kitchens require various wastewater management solutions. Your choice of grease management solution will depend on several key criteria, including the size of your kitchen, the type of food you prepare, the equipment used for food preparation, the content of your wastewater, and the density of produced FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease).

Our grease separators are specifically designed to help prevent the accumulation of FOG in kitchen waste and ultimately prevent the formation of "fatbergs" in the main sewer system.

To help you choose the right grease separation solution for your kitchen, you can use our grease separator planner or contact our specialist.
