Nearly half a million tonnes of grease and fat enter the UK sewerage system every year. Grease sticks to pipe walls, which can eventually lead to blockages, while fats and oils damage wastewater treatment equipment, costing municipalities millions in repairs every year. If allowed to enter a natural water course, fats, oils and grease (FOG) can cause serious damage to the environment.
For these reasons, legislation ensuring that the correct FOG management is used by foodservice operators is heavily enforced. Polluters can face large fines or even closure for businesses if FOG waste is not managed effectively.
Grease traps and gravity grease traps are readily available, and both businesses and residential properties should make use of them to limit their FOG pollution contribution to the sewers.
Ensure your business is backed by the best in wastewater management. Contact Universal Tankers now to discuss your commercial grease trap needs. Let us help you design a service plan that keeps your operations smooth and compliant.
Effective wastewater management is a must for commercial enterprises, especially in industries such as hospitality, where food waste can mix with wastewater and lead to drain blockages. If your establishment prepares hot food, it is likely your operations produce FOG waste that may end up in your water. To avoid this, your premises must have a grease trap installed, and you will need to arrange for its cleaning.
Commercial premises are also likely to deal with higher volumes of wastewater that can lead to significant system strains. Grease trap blockages can cause disruptions, potentially halting operations and attracting hefty fines due to non-compliance with health and safety regulations.
Universal Tankers provides comprehensive wastewater management services tailored to the needs of commercial clients. Our offerings include regular grease trap emptying, customised maintenance plans, and swift emergency response to keep your operations running without interruption. We cater to all sizes of commercial facilities, providing scalable solutions that ensure your wastewater management systems are efficient and compliant with all regulatory standards.

A grease trap is a plumbing device designed to intercept greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. Commonly used in commercial kitchens and restaurants, grease traps prevent fat, oil, and grease from clogging and damaging the sewage system. By capturing these substances, grease traps maintain the functionality of the wastewater system and prevent environmental pollution.
A grease trap works on the principle that fat, oil, and grease are less dense than water and will separate from it when given the chance. Here is how it typically functions:
Proper maintenance and regular cleaning are essential to ensure that a grease trap continues to operate effectively, preventing overflow, minimising odours, and reducing the risk of blockages or back-ups in the plumbing system.
