Waste water treatment to remove fat, oil, and grease

Abstract

An apparatus suitable for treating waste water to remove scum contaminants such as fat, oil, and grease is provided. The apparatus comprises a main tank and a waste collection tank that is removably coupled to the main tank. The main tank comprises an inlet for receiving the waste water from a waste water source. The inlet is typically connected to the waste drain of a restaurant water drain or the like and receives waste water. The waste water typically comprises contaminants, such as particulate contaminants and scum contaminants such as fat, oil and grease. The main tank comprises a water collection chamber, for collecting the waste water from the inlet. The main tank further comprises a grease removal unit for treating the waste water by separating the scum contaminants from the waste water. The waste collection tank is in fluid communication with the grease removal unit for collecting the contaminants and is removably coupled to the main tank.
