Grease Trap or Interceptor definition
Grease Trap or Interceptor means a device for separating waterborne greases and grease complexes from wastewater and retaining such greases and grease complexes prior to the wastewater exiting the trap and entering the sanitary sewer collection and treatment system. Grease traps also serve to collect solids that settle, generated by and from activities that subject users to this Section, prior to the water exiting the trap and entering the sanitary sewer collection and treatment system. Grease traps and interceptors are sometimes referred to herein as "grease interceptors".
Grease Trap or Interceptor means a filter or tank designed to remove excess grease, fats, and oils from the wastewater stream for operations, such as restaurant operations. There are two types of devices that remove fats, oils, and grease (“O&G”): a “grease trap” that is typically located under a sink, and a “grease interceptor” that is usually a larger concrete tank located outside the establishment. The applicable county-adopted state plumbing code in Title 15 JCC will specify the type of device that will be required for the particular use in need of O&G removal.
