Our grease interceptors are UPC-listed, IPC-compliant, and built to city and municipal specifications
Prevent excessive grease from causing blockages, damages, or sanitary sewer overflows
Notification alarm alerts the user of capacity, pump-out options, or notes time for maintenance.
Sizes range from 500 to 20,000 gallons and are designed for meal and service considerations.
Durable interceptor vaults can be made of precast concrete, stainless steel, or fiberglass.
ParkUSA’s GreaseTrooperÒ is the ultimate solution for commercial establishments looking to prevent excessive grease from causing blockages and sanitary sewer overflows. Our gravity grease interceptors (GGI) are available in a variety of options, including aboveground, belowground, precast concrete, stainless steel, or fiberglass construction. They are built to city and municipal specifications with sizes ranging from 500 to 20,000 gallons. Most models are Uniform Plumbing Code Listed (UPC) and we guarantee compliance with all plumbing codes and regulations.
Our GGI’s feature monolithic baffles and resilient pipe connections, ensuring watertightness and preventing FOG (fats, oils, and greases) from disrupting wastewater treatment operations. Available interior and exterior protective lines provide additional protection against corrosion and abrasion.
The GreaseTrooper can be equipped with a remote maintenance alarm and pump-out options, ensuring that the system is always in proper working order. Our GGIs are turnkey and pre-piped for quick delivery and easy installation, saving you time and money.
The GreaseTrooper® GGI, also known as a grease trap, operates on the principle of buoyancy. Animal fats and vegetable oils have a lower density and naturally float on top of water. When wastewater enters a grease interceptor, the flow velocity is reduced, allowing the water to cool and separate into distinct layers. During this process, the grease separates and rises to the top of the interceptor, where it is captured using a series of baffles. Solids settle at the bottom, while clear water exits via an outlet baffle.
Over time, accumulation of solids and grease will inevitably occur. When the grease interceptor reaches its rated maximum capacity, the grease level in the interceptor will increase. When the grease layer reaches 12” thick, an alarm sensor will alert the operator to contact a licensed wastewater disposal company to pump the interceptor.
To ensure optimal performance of the grease interceptor, it is recommended to install a sample well downstream. This allows for the collection of wastewater samples that can be tested in a laboratory to measure concentration levels of biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, and FOG. These characteristics can determine the grease interceptor’s performance.
Grease Interceptors are commonly used in commercial applications that produce large amounts of grease that can cause blockages and sanitary sewer overflows.
Restaurants produce FOGS that are susceptible to entering the public sewer system and causing blockages that can lead to costly fines and damage.
Hospitals, schools, and prisons typically produce a large amount of FOG, which can cause significant problems if it enters the public sewer system.
A common byproduct of food processing facilities is FOG. Our GGI prevents FOG from contaminating wastewater treatment systems.
Industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants, refineries, and chemical processing plants produce a large amount of wastewater that may contain FOG and other contaminants that must be removed before discharge into the public sewer system.
With over 35 years of experience, we offer proven water management innovation, technology, and service.
