What is an Grease Trap ?

Dec 2, 2022
What is an Grease Trap ?
View Full Size
Oil trap (grease trap) is a grease filter made of stainless steel or fiberglass and is a trap or filter tool for oil and grease from the results of washing dishes. This tool will help to separate the oil from the water, so that the oil and grease don't clump or freeze in the drain pipe which will clog the pipe.

These grease traps or grease filters are commonly used for restaurants, eateries, and kitchens. The reason is because restaurants, eateries, and home kitchens can produce a lot of fat/ oil waste that is dumped through the sink drain from dishwashers and cooking utensils. If not removed, then grease will clump in the drain pipe and cause clogging problems.             

Causes Not Using Grease Trap. Pipe Full with waste and Sink got clogged
 
 
       When using grease trap, oil and grease got separated from water will be easy to removed.
 
Oil trap (grease trap) can separate oil from water, this can solve the problem of blockage in the duct pipe. Most of us cook high -fat foods, and wash with cold water. This is why the duct pipe will become clogged, as cold water will cause the fat to freeze in the duct pipe.
 
By using an oil trap (grease trap) can avoid the problem of blockage in the duct pipe. The grease trap will separate food waste and oil from the water before it enters the duct pipe.

8 MOST COMMON CAUSES OF CLOGGED DRAINS AND HOW TO PREVENT THEM

May 20, 2022
8 MOST COMMON CAUSES OF CLOGGED DRAINS AND HOW TO PREVENT THEM
View Full Size
Clogged drains and blocked pipes may start as minor issues but can quickly escalate into major problems. A clogged drain can cause slow water drainage, corrosion, flooding, and, in extreme cases, sewage backup and costly repairs. Preventing them starts with recognizing how the causes of clogged drains. Below are the 8 most common household causes of clogged drains and how you can prevent and fix them.

 




 

1. HAIR

Hair is a big culprit for drain blockages, as it can bind with grease and other sticky substances to form clogs. The best way to deal with hair blockages is to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Ensure all drains have guards to catch hair and clear these regularly.

 



 

2. SOAP

You may wonder how soap can cause a blockage in your pipes. But traditional soap bars are actually made with grease or fat. The fat in the soap combines with minerals in water and leaves a hard residue (known as soap scum) that stains bath fittings and clogs pipes. Switch to soap free washes and then have your pipes pressure cleaned to remove traces of soap buildup.

3. DIRT

You may think your drain and pipes are there for washing anything away. But while you want to get excess dirt off you and your clothes, it can build up and cause issues in your drains. Shake or rinse excess dirt and mud off your clothes and body outside before washing them inside.

 

4. FOOD WASTE

Food waste should never go down the drain, even when you have a garbage disposal in your sink. Instead, set up a composting pile to get rid of food waste. This is particularly important for waste like tea leaves and coffee grounds that don’t break down. Other foods to be cautious of include grease or oil as they will solidify in the pipes and cause a blockage. Instead, absorb oil on a paper towel and throw it in the compost.

food waste

5. MINERAL BUILDUP

Minerals dissolved in hard water can build up and cause insoluble masses that will easily block your drains. One solution is installing a water softener for your home if hard water is a problem in your area. If that’s not an option, you will need to regularly descale and remove sediment and build up. Mineral buildup clogs can be difficult to remove once established, so call your professional plumber if your drains and pipes no longer seem to be flowing.

6. SMALL OBJECTS

Small objects can find their way into your plumbing supply and wreak havoc. Nothing but water, toilet paper, and human waste should go down your toilet, drain, or sink. Any other object should be disposed of responsibly in the trash, compost, or recycling. If any foreign matter has gotten into your plumbing supply and is causing issues, you’ll likely need professional help to remove it and ensure your plumbing returns to normal.

7. TOILET PAPER BUILDUP

Too much toilet paper can clog your drains and stop your toilets from flushing. If water can still run through your toilet when flushed, you can use a plunger to shift and dissolve some of the toilet paper. But if your toilet just fills without draining, you’ll need to call a plumber to take care of the blockage for you.

8. TREE ROOTS

The smallest cracks or leaks in your underground pipes can attract tree root growth. Once inside your pipes tree roots quickly grow larger, obstructing water flow and causing pipe damage. Clearing tree roots from pipes can be complex and require rooter service, pressure jet cleaning, trenchless repair, or even excavation. Review the root structure of your trees and plants and monitor the condition of your drains to prevent an extensive and costly repair.

 



 

With so many causes of clogged drains, the best way to fix them is to prevent them from being clogged in the first place. Never put anything you shouldn’t down the drain and avoid trying to clear drains by adding more chemicals or objects. And if your clogged drains turn into an emergency requiring help from an experienced plumber, contact Magnificent Plumbing and Rooter for assistance around the clock.

什么行业需要安装隔油器 Grease Trap

Jan 10, 2022
什么行业需要安装隔油器 Grease Trap
View Full Size
各行各业的老板们, 你知道你的行业其实是需要安装隔油器 (Grease Trap) 的吗 来看看你是否是需要为你的事业来安装隔油器, 免得地方政府,城市福利部,房屋及地方政府 (Jabatan Kerajaan Tempatan, Kementerian, Kesejahteraan Bandar, Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan)对你开出罚单
 
为何要安装隔油器?
如果商家没有安装隔油器,将导致污水或油渍流入水管或沟渠,引发阻塞问题。
地方政府,城市福利部,房屋及地方政府指出,目前,污染问题日趋严重。其中被确定的污染来源是由餐馆或食肆排放到河里食物渣滓、油和油脂
环境部属下的Lembaga Sungai研究报告指出,食肆餐馆已被确定为导致河水污染的主要原因之一。由食肆所排出的污水一般上含有很多的脂肪、油和食物渣滓,而这些食物渣滓则是在准备烹饪需要用的原料和清洗厨房用具时所排出的。
 
当局认为,在废水还未排放到沟渠或水域前,隔油器可以用来分隔废水里的食物渣滓、油和油脂。而安装隔油器是一个解决水域污染问题的最实际的方法。
 
不安装隔油器的后果
若卫生组发现该隔油器设施如同需设,或业者没有定时清理,执法官员将有权向对方发出不超过1000令吉的罚单。
Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 (Akta 171)Seksyen 69 (第69条文)
Akta Jalan, Parit dan Bangunan 1974 (Akta 133)Seksyen 55 (第55条文)
 
如果业者触犯Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 197670条文的话,则将会被罚款不超过5000令吉,或不超过2年监禁或两者兼施。如果持续触犯该条文,附加罚款则是一天不超过500令吉。
 
另外,有关当局也有权要求业者安装和运行任何控制设备或附加控制设备。
Akta Kualiti Alam Sekeliling 1974 (Akta 127)~Seksyen 25 § Seksyen 31 (第2531条文)




餐饮行业必须准守地方政府安装合格的隔油器(Grease Trap),例如茶餐厅,咖啡厅,餐馆或者是酒馆等等, 都是必须安装和及时清理隔油器。因为Grease Trap有效帮助减少沟渠囤积大量油脂避免无法正常排水还有惹来老鼠经常光顾还有提高卫生水平,避免市会议查封该食肆并开出罚单而且还会没办法更新或者吊销餐饮业执照哦。    




 住宅区排屋虽然是不强制安装隔油器, 可是小编也是建议安装隔油器在每个住户的厨房洗碗盆。 每当煮好了美味的佳肴后, 总要清洗带有油渍碗碟和厨房用具。 冲洗下来的油渍和食物残渣也会让沟渠和下水道阻塞, 隔油器可以避免排屋排出污水不顺或者最显而易见的就是洗碗槽囤积了大量积水排不出去让你要用马桶pump 去疏通排水口,而且还很费时费力
 
至于公寓住户不必担心隔油器的问题, 因为建筑发展商已经设置大型隔油器在公寓地底下或者隔油房里, 公寓管理处都会定时叫承包商来清理隔油器, 以确保不会整栋公寓的排污水管不会阻塞,带来不必要的投诉和困扰




酒店行业也是政府强制安装隔油器的行业之一, 其中的原因是因为酒店也有餐饮服务 可是酒店行业的隔油器则需要安装大型和小型的隔油池了, 分别在于小型隔油器是安装在酒店餐厅厨房用于收集厨余残渣等等, 而大型隔油器则是用于作为集中站收集酒店住户的垃圾和污水和酒店厨房漏出来的油污和厨余,这样就能减少油脂流向下水道了,而导致下水道阻塞的风险了




这里说的载具当然也包括了,摩托, 汽车, 罗里,和其他的大型载具。 当然维修员是不会把 service 车子的黑油(引擎润滑油)统统倒进沟渠里。 他们会用铁桶来收集车子用过的引擎润滑油, 然而隔油器会安装在车厂的排水口前, 以避免车子漏下的油污会随着污水进入下水道 或者沟渠
 
还有的就是, 维修人员为我们的爱车做维修或者更换机油的时候,难免手上会占满黑呜呜的机油, 也是很值得我们尊敬的哦




工厂的类型繁多, 排出的污水也大有不同, 通常都会有大量的油污, 和含有化学成分的污水,  有些时候还混杂了些垃圾一起。 通常工厂都需要安装大型的隔油器来阻挡这些污水来隔开油,污水和垃圾才排到下水道,以确保排出来的只有污水。 而隔开的废油还能够用作回收计划,让厂家有额外的收入



洗车行业用的只是洗车专用的肥皂, 为什么要隔油器? 不一定哦, 因为每个车子久了没洗,粘附在上面的除了污垢,沙粒等, 就是还有油附着在你的车子。 清洗下来的肥皂水也会附有油污流入下水道或者沟渠, 所以也是需要用隔油器隔开来 ,以阻止日积月累的油污阻塞了沟渠或者下水道, 导致变成了滋生黑斑蚊的温床。




以上是我们说的需要安装隔油器的行业, 如果有行业需要隔油器可以向我们补充下, 让我们知道。 现在我们来说说我们的服务, 没错。我们不只是售卖隔油器, 我们还提供一站式的上门咨询服务,安装服务到清理隔油器的服务都有。 如果各行各业的老板需要咨询要怎么样的隔油器才适合自己的隔油器可以 PM 小编  我们有专人为你提供专业隔油器意见, 帮你省下大笔大笔的 costing 还有 saman 
 
安装与清理服务, 我们也有专业团队还有专业器材为您安装与清理, 而且我们会带走隔油器里的油污与垃圾, 保证不会弄脏你的店面影响您的生意

Grease Trap Helps to Prevent Environmental Problems

Grease Trap Helps to Prevent Environmental Problems
View Full Size
Grease traps are designed to separate and capture waste fats, oils, grease (FOG) and solids before they enter the wastewater. Grease traps are needed for preventing kitchen wastes, fats, oils and grease from clogging pipes and sewerage system which could prevent environmental pollution of water ways. FOG are mainly from the by-products of cooking such as food scraps, meats fat, lard, tallow, cooking oil, butter, margarine, sauces, gravy, deep-fried food, cheeses and baked foods.

Fats, oils and grease (FOG) which released into the drains will clog them and block water flow. Eventually, will results in flash floods during the heavy rains. The clogged drains will attract rodents and other disease-carrying pests. According to Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK), oil and food particles were polluting Sungai Kelang, causing floods in several neighbourhoods there. In addition to that, on August 2011, Datuk Dr. Mah Hang Soon said that the high grease content in wastewater or effluent from public market and restaurant was amongst the major causes of Sungai Kinta pollution. Based on the incidents above, it is clearly stated that FOG released into the drains will causes many environmental problems.

Referring to Department of Environment under the Pollution and Water Quality Improvement Program, food premises are one of the major contributors to river pollution. It is supported by the statement from Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) on 2016 where restaurant grease is the main contributor of overflow sewer pipes. FOG causes manholes in commercial areas to overflow.

Therefore every hotels, cafeteria, restaurants, school canteens and other food related businesses are compulsory to install the grease trap. According to Global Environment Centre (GEC) river care programme coordinator Dr K. Kalithasan, the existing law only required food operators to install a grease trap as a condition to obtain or renew their licence. However, the law did not specify details on the grease trap’s size, maintenance and oil collection, making it easy for the eatery operators to flout it. Apart from that, most of the restaurant operators and workers have no knowledge on grease traps or FOG maintenance.

Poorly maintained and low capacity of grease trap will allow FOG to flow into the sewer pipes via drains and storm drains, causing the build-up of fatberg. A fatberg is a congealed lump in a sewer system formed by the combination of non-biodegradable solid matter such as wet wipes with grease or cooking fat. Continuous build – up of fatberg, decreases the capacity of the sewer system as the FOG solidifies and deposits on the interior walls of the sewer due to the low temperature. Ultimately, it will cause the blockages of pipes and hence restricting the wastewater flow.

Therefore, it is vital for the food service operators to ensure that the installed grease traps should be well maintained and the capacity should be sufficient enough to sustain the FOG. For instance, a food court or a 24-hour restaurant will require a much bigger grease trap compared to a small stalls. Operating hours and the activeness of the food business are the factors when specifying the capacity of the grease traps. The food operators also need to ensure that their workers are well trained in maintaining the grease trap. Grease traps should be cleaned up regularly. The frequency of cleaning will vary depending on the type of food served and how active your business is. Regular cleaning keeps a grease trap working properly and will prevent clogging in kitchen drains and pipes.

The local authorities also need to regularly check on the grease trap installed by the eateries whether it meet the requirements or otherwise. Some of the irresponsible eateries installed the cheap grease trap only to obtain or renew the licence. The laws surrounding the use of grease traps at eateries are inadequate and needs to be tightened.

In conclusion, grease trap installation for every eateries, hotels, school canteens and other food related business should be mandatory and the local authorities should tightened the requirements of the grease trap specifications. Grease trap can prevent the environmental problems in the future.

GREASE traps (pic) are designed to separate and capture waste fats, oils, grease (FOG) and food waste before they enter the drain and sewers.

Grease traps are needed to stop these wastes from clogging the drains and sewers and to prevent environmental pollution of the waterways.

 

FOG are mainly the by-products of cooking, and include food scraps, meat fat, lard, tallow, cooking oil, butter, margarine and sauces.

Fats, oils and grease released into the drains will clog them and block water flow, resulting in flash floods during heavy rain.

 

The clogged drains will also attract rodents and other pests that carry diseases.

Food premises are among the major contributors to river pollution. According to the Klang Municipal Council (MPK), oil and food particles are polluting the Klang River, causing floods in several neighbourhoods there.

A high grease content in wastewater or effluents from public markets and restaurants was among the major causes of pollution in Kinta River, according to the local authority in 2011.

And according to Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK), restaurant grease is the main reason behind the overflow of sewer pipes.

It is compulsory for all operators of hotels, restaurants and other food-related businesses to install grease traps in their premises.

But, according to Dr K. Kalithasan, programme coordinator of the Global Environ­ment Centre’s (GEC) river care project, the existing law only requires food operators to install grease traps as a condition for obtaining or renewing their licence.

It does not specify details for the grease trap, such as size, maintenance and cleaning schedules, making it easy for the operators to flout the law, he said.

Most restaurant operators and workers also do not have any knowledge of grease traps and their maintenance.

Poorly maintained and low capacity grease trap will allow FOG to flow into the sewer pipes and drains, causing the build-up of fatberg, a congealed lump in a sewer system formed by the combination of non-biodegradable solid matter with grease or cooking fat.

Continuous build-up of the fatberg will reduce the capacity of the sewer system, and will ultimately cause blockages.

It is therefore vital for those involved in the food production business to ensure that grease traps of the right capacity are installed in their premises and to keep them well maintained.

The capacity of the grease traps should be based on the operating hours and the scale of activity of the business concerned.

Food operators must also ensure that their workers are well trained in maintaining the grease traps and clean them regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the type of food served and how active the business is.

The local authorities also need to regularly check the grease traps installed in food premises. Some operators might install grease traps just to obtain or renew their business licence and forget about their maintenance thereafter. The law on grease traps is inadequate and needs to be tightened as well.

A NASI kandar operator in Chulia Street, Penang, was slapped with a RM250 compound for not using grease trap at the premises.

Four other hawker stalls – two each in Chulia Street and the Esplanade – were issued with a RM20 compound each for not cleaning their grease traps.

 

All the offenders were caught during an operation carried out by Penang Island City Council (MBPP) on Friday.

During the operation, 11 officers from the council’s licensing Department, led by city councillor Wong Yuee Harng, made surprise checks on 46 food stalls and shops in Chulia Street and Medan Renong Padang Kota Lama (Esplanade Food Court).

 

Wong said the nasi kandar operator had a grease trap but chose not to use it

“Instead, the workers washed the utensils in a basin before discharging the dirty water into the drain.

“The operation is to create awareness about the importance of using grease traps at shops and stalls.

“If not, the waste could clog up the drains, resulting in flash floods,” he said, adding that the operation was carried out at hawker stalls in MBPP-owned premises and stalls with tagging issued by the council.

Wong said the council had prepared grease trap for stalls within the premises under the council, adding that private food stall operators should prepare their own grease traps.

“The grease trap needs to be cleaned every now and then.

FOOD traders who operate at the food and beverage complexes of the local councils will have their licences revoked if they fail to use or maintain their grease traps.

“There will be no more warnings after this.

 

“The local councils will immediately revoke the licences of culprits.

“My speech is the warning. The councils’ enforcement team will be conducting spot checks after this,” said state Local Government Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo before opening a new food complex at the Sri Penanti market in Seberang Prai on Sunday.

 

The grease traps are installed so that food waste does not directly go into the drains.

On the Penang mainland, there are 66 food complexes with 1,529 stalls under the Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP).

Council president Datuk Rozali Mohamud said each grease trap costs about RM3,000 to RM4,000to install and requires regular maintenance.

He said the enforcement team would start with those whose stalls were equipped with the grease traps given by the council.

“We will eventually move on to other operators to make sure they comply with the requirement by 2022,” said Rozali.

The food complex in Sri Penanti market was completed in nine months, costing RM385,500.

Each of the 13 food stalls is equipped with a grease trap, lights and fans.

There are also yellow tactile pavings and a ramp to guidethe visually impaired into the complex.

In a move to prevent drains from clogging up which could trigger flash floods, the MPPP has launched a full-scale operation against offenders.

 

Councillor Wong Yuee Harng advised hawkers not to think only about making profits, but also to have a proper waste management.

“The state government has spent millions of ringgit on drainage systems.

一天在报章上看见一则新闻,新闻指出:凡向梳邦再也市议会 (Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya ''MPSJ'')申请餐馆执照,安装隔油器(grease trap/perangkap minyak)是指定条例。

根据地方政府,城市福利部,房屋及地方政府 (Jabatan Kerajaan Tempatan, Kementerian, Kesejahteraan Bandar, Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan)的网站,当局早已在今年1月1日的时候强制性规定全国的食肆餐馆必须安装隔油器

不安装隔油器的后果
若卫生组发现该隔油器设施如同需设,或业者没有定时清理,执法官员将有权向对方发出不超过1000令吉的罚单。
Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 (Akta 171)~Seksyen 69 (第69条文)
Akta Jalan, Parit dan Bangunan 1974 (Akta 133)~Seksyen 55 (第55条文)


如果业者触犯Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976第70条文的话,则将会被罚款不超过5000令吉,或不超过2年监禁或两者兼施。如果持续触犯该条文,附加罚款则是一天不超过500令吉。

另外,有关当局也有权要求业者安装和运行任何控制设备或附加控制设备。
Akta Kualiti Alam Sekeliling 1974 (Akta 127)~Seksyen 25 § Seksyen 31 (第25和31条文)

为何要安装隔油器?
如果商家没有安装隔油器,将导致污水或油渍流入水管或沟渠,引发阻塞问题。

地方政府,城市福利部,房屋及地方政府指出,目前,污染问题日趋严重。其中被确定的污染来源是由餐馆或食肆排放到河里食物渣滓、油和油脂。


环境部属下的Lembaga Sungai研究报告指出,食肆餐馆已被确定为导致河水污染的主要原因之一。由食肆所排出的污水一般上含有很多的脂肪、油和食物渣滓,而这些食物渣滓则是在准备烹饪需要用的原料和清洗厨房用具时所排出的。

当局认为,在废水还未排放到沟渠或水域前,隔油器可以用来分隔废水里的食物渣滓、油和油脂。而安装隔油器是一个解决水域污染问题的最实际的方法。
