A Company That Gets It Done!

Being the TOP grease company didn't just happen by accident.

We understand that in the food servicing industry it is important that a servicer is responsive and can deliver quality results. The fact that managing full-service restaurants (FSRs), quick-service restaurants (QSRs), or cafeterias can be very overwhelming, it will be highly beneficial to have a company that provide efficient service.

OC Pumping - Traps & Interceptors

Grease traps and interceptors are devices designed to trap grease and solids waste from entering sewer lines. Failing to maintain it can lead to problems that can cause the device to overflow or kitchen lines to back up preventing liquid waste from going in. In order to prevent any problems that can interfere with kitchen operations, it is imperative that this device is maintained and cleaned on a timely manner.

How To Service A Grease Trap or Interceptor?

To properly clean a grease trap or interceptor, you must have the right equipment and properly dispose all waste collected at a licensed facility. In other words, this service must be performed by a professional that carries a special license called an Indedible Kitchen Grease haulers license or permit. When an inspector audits an establishment, they will require proof that the grease trap or interceptor is being maintained and cleaned by a licensed IKG hauler. Grease trap and interceptor pumping companies must always provide the restaurants with a manifest report which summarize the amount of fats, oils, grease and solids other words known as FOGS waste removed from the device. Without this report the city inspector can cite or stop all kitchen operations until the device is pumped and cleaned. Note, to correctly clean a grease trap or a grease interceptor, all content must be pumped out, hauled and disposed at a licensed water plant. Therefore, when choosing a company it is important to ensure that they will completely remove all content and not just skim the top of the device.

What to Install; a Grease Trap or a Grease Interceptor?

Before installing a grease trap or a grease interceptor, be sure to contact the city about their requirements. In other words, they will be the ones appointing what size or type of gravity device you will need to install to comply. More, often we are finding that most cities are now mandating new or newly remodeled estabishments to install large interceptors of 750 gallons or above, since they are more effective trapping grease and solids versus an indoor trap.

Grease Trap & Interceptor Sizes

The major difference between the 2 devices are its sizing. Grease traps are often found on the floor inside the kitchen or beneath the kitchen sink with a size of 50 gallons or below. Due to its small size the device are often serviced on a monthly basis to prevent line blockage or system overflow. Similarly, a grease interceptor purpose is similar to a grease trap; it's only difference is the size. With it's size ranging from 750 gallons - 10,000 gallons; these devices are very large and usually installed outside the parking lots or structures.

When to Clean a Grease Trap or Interceptor?

It is a requirement that when grease trap or interceptor reaches a Fats, Oils, Grease and Solids level of 25% or above that the device is to be pumped out completely. The reason for this is because once those levels are reached, the unit will start to release more unwanted FOGS waste into the city sanitary line causing it to have major build up or overflow. Therefore, city inspectors are now more proactive making certain that restaurants or companies that have commercial kitchens are cleaning their grease trap or interceptor on time.

Grease Spillage, Overlows and Blockage

If you have not serviced your grease trap or interceptor on a timely manner and are experiencing slow drain on all drains in the kitchen, you device may be completely full of FOGS waste preventing water to enter the device. Traps and Interceptors with compacted grease and solids will prevent water from entering the unit which is why is important to get your device serviced on a timely manner. Neglected grease devices can be very costly to clean because of additional time and labor so it is important to be make it a priority that the device is cleaned regularly

Grease coming out of a grease trap or interceptor does not necessarily mean that the device is full of FOGS waste. One of the main reasons grease waste from grease interceptors or grease trap come out of the top of the device is due to lack of service. Though, if the device was recently pumped completely and it is overflowing out of the lid(s) it is most likely due a line blockage on the outlet line. A line blockage on the oulet main greaes line does not allow the waste water from being released into the sewer line or city sanitation line. In that case, it will cause the trap to overfill causing a substantial amount grease and waste water to come out. Overflowing grease traps or interceptors is usualy because of lack of pumping service or grease line maintenance. In contrast, aside from cleaing the grease device it is also highly suggested for the grease lines to be hydro jetted every 6-12 months as a safty measure from overflows.
