A grease interceptor is another type of grease collection system that is located outside of the establishment. A grease interceptor is usually located below a parking lot and accessible by a man hole. The function of a grease interceptor, like a grease trap, is to separate the grease and sediment from the water and to allow the wastewater to flow to the sewer while “intercepting” any solids with the equipment.

This is very important in cities and metro areas, since the water systems can be delicate and intertwined. Many business use the same sewers and water systems, so taking responsibility and doing your part as a restaurant owner to keep them clean is crucial to the success of not only your business, but others’ as well. Moon Grease Trap Cleaning make it easy for you to do that!

Due to the location and complexity of a grease interceptor, it is recommended to use a professional company, like Moon, to manage your grease interceptor.

When Moon visits your establishment for the first time, we’ll set up a timely maintenance schedule with you to help avoid any issues from arising in the future.

How does a grease interceptor work?

A grease interceptor works very similarly to the way a grease trap works. The basic design functions so that FOGs (fats, oils, and greases) are filtered out of wastewater to prevent that water from contaminating the sewer. With most grease interceptors, they consist of a large container that water flows into then goes through various baffles and retention reservoirs which strain solids and FOGs out of the water.
