GREASE SEPARATOR GREASE RECOVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for separating grease from an effluent stream containing grease and water includes a separation tank (12) in which the grease and water in the effluent separate with the grease floating on top of the water. Grease is heated to a liquid state then pumped by pump (110) from the separation tank (12) when the depth of the grease has reached a predetermined depth level (150) below an upper surface of the effluent in th e separation tank. The pumping of grease from the separaton tank (12) is interrupted after a predetermined period of time.
