As greasy water flows through the interceptor’s
screen basket and strikes the inlet baffle,
solids are removed and the water velocity slows.
The water enters the grease retention area,
where the grease separates by gravity floatation
and remains between two baffles.
Thermostatically controlled electric immersion
heaters keep collected grease in a liquid state
in preparation for skimming.
The Diskimmer, an electrically powered device
that operates on a time or event controlled
basis, skims the liquefied grease off the water
surface.
Grease adheres to its rotating plastic disc
until it passes between scraper blades.
The skimmed grease is directed into a steep
sloped trough and drained through a conduit into
a disposal container or barrel and recovered for
proper grease recycling. |
