Abstract
In this study, strengths and weaknesses of installed or under installation grease
interceptors in Mashhad city were identified. Then a new grease removal system was
designed and built to resolve these weaknesses. The system was an 800 L cylinder
from galvanized metal coated with two layers of composite. A cubic basket was
installed at the system inlet to remove trashes before entering the system. This basket
and the two system baffles are removable that facilitate discharge and cleaning
process. A grease remover bridge of 50 cm in length, discharges accumulated grease
automatically in adjustable time periods. Retention of 30 min was considered to
design the system. This system has advantages including low volume and cost, light
weight and quick and easy installation.
