As people's living standards improve, the public's requirements for catering hygiene are getting higher and higher, and the proper treatment of food waste plays an increasingly important role in people's lives and health. The canteen grease trap is one of the indispensable equipment in the canteen kitchen. Its main function is to collect the waste grease generated after food processing. Next, SHINELONG editor will take you to know what the grease trap is and what it does. What is a grease trap 1) A grease trap is a wastewater pretreatment structure that uses the density difference between oil droplets and water to produce a flotation effect to remove floating oil substances in oily wastewater. 2) The structure of the grease trap mostly adopts a horizontal flow type. The oily wastewater enters the rectangular grease trap through the water distribution trough and flows slowly in the horizontal direction. During the flow, the oil floats to the water surface and is pushed to the oil collecting pipe by the oil collecting pipe or the oil scraper installed on the pool surface and flows into the dewatering tank. 3) The heavy oil and other impurities precipitated in the grease trap accumulate in the sludge hopper at the bottom of the pool and enter the sludge pipe through the sludge discharge pipe. The wastewater treated by oil separation overflows into the drainage channel and is discharged from the pool for subsequent treatment to remove emulsified oil and other pollutants. What is the role of the grease trap? 1. Prevent sewage overflow: Due to the nature of the work of canteen staff, they often produce a large amount of dirty liquid at work. If it is directly discharged into the sewer, it will cause serious pollution to the environment. The use of a grease trap can effectively avoid this situation. 2. Protect environmental hygiene: Because canteen staff will produce a lot of garbage during work, if it is not handled in time, it will have a great impact on the surrounding environment. With this device, the garbage can be treated uniformly, which is convenient and hygienic. 3. Improve efficiency and save costs: After using this device, it can greatly save labor costs and time costs. 4. Reduce environmental pollution and waste of food resources. 5. Reduce the labor intensity of workers. 6. Reduce energy consumption costs. In summary: I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the grease trap!
