Grease Trap Management FAQs
How regularly a grease trap should be maintained depends on several factors including the size of the grease trap and municipality regulations. To keep your grease trap in the best possible condition, we recommend that it goes through routine maintenance. Dubai Municipality mandates cleaning of grease traps 4 times a month for smaller grease traps and 2 times a month for bigger type. Cleaning the grease trap and servicing it regularly will ensure that it both adheres to legal requirements and is safeguarded against the build-up of fatty deposits moving forward.
There are several core signs that your grease trap may need to be cleaned. Those signs include:
- Water draining slowly from sinks (emergency treatment may be needed if the sink is clogged and water doesn’t move at all)
- A foul smell emanating from the grease trap
- When the amount of fats, oils, and greases in your grease trap totals ¼ of the total capacity. Any of these elements could be a sign that your grease trap needs emptying.
We have an array of specialist equipment we can use to clean grease traps and FOG from the drainage system. The most basic form of this equipment comes in the form of our 1,000-gallon tankers and suction pumps and portable suction pumps. The fat, oil, and grease that we remove from your grease trap, then safely and responsibly disposed-off at municipality approved plant.
It is a legal requirement for any business dealing with hot food to install and maintain a grease trap. As well as this, a grease trap could also limit the risk of disruption to your business through drains becoming blocked with solidified fat, oil and grease. This can often become costly to remove and cause further damage to the drain network.
Leaving grease in the grease trap can cause it to solidify. This is harder to remove and can cause several different drainage issues. Those drainage issues could cost a lot of money in the long run.
How much it costs to have your grease trap emptied or maintained can vary based on the size of the grease trap and how long it takes to empty – that being said, here at SANCO we specialize in efficient and cost-effective grease trap maintenance.
