Grease Trap Maintenance Guide For Fewer Pump-Outs
FAQs
- Why should I implement grease trap maintenance?
Grease trap maintenance is essential to prevent backups and overflows in your grease trap, which can be disastrous, especially during peak hours in your kitchen or restaurant. Regular maintenance, including chemical treatments, can reduce the frequency of expensive pump-outs and keep your system running smoothly.
- How can chemical maintenance help reduce grease trap pump-outs?
By adding chemical treatments, such as enzyme or bacteria-based solutions, you can break down fats and greases in your grease trap. This reduces the need for frequent pump-outs, potentially cutting the frequency from monthly to once every 3 months or more, saving you both time and money.
- What types of chemical maintenance options are available for grease traps?
There are several chemical treatment options, including enzyme-based, bacteria-based, soy-based, and green-friendly solutions. The best option depends on the size of your grease trap, the severity of buildup, and local regulations. State Chemical can help assess your needs and recommend the right treatment for your facility.
- Are there local regulations I need to consider before choosing a treatment?
Yes, many local regulations govern grease trap maintenance and chemical treatments. Some areas restrict the use of certain enzymes, solvents, or emulsifiers. Be sure to research your local environmental health department or sewer authority to understand what is allowed in your area. State Chemical is also familiar with regional regulations and can assist you in selecting compliant solutions.
- Can chemical dosage be automated to my grease trap?
Yes, State Chemical offers automated dosing systems that will automatically supply the correct amount of chemicals for your grease trap. The pump system is installed and checked periodically by our team, and we also provide training for your staff, all at no additional cost.
