Abstract:
1. A grease removal system comprising: a) a grease trap tank having outer walls and a bottom connected to the outer walls; b) an inlet through an outer wall of the grease trap tank, wherein the inlet has a center and a lower end; c) an outlet through an outer wall of the grease trap tank, wherein the outlet has a center and a lower end; d) an outlet grease baffle positioned between the inlet and the outlet extending downwardly across the tank to an elevation spaced from the tank bottom defining a passageway therethrough to permit effluent having a specific gravity greater than grease to pass but to retain and accumulate grease on the surface of the effluent within the grease trap tank, wherein the outlet grease baffle defines a grease chamber within the tank between the inlet and the outlet grease baffle; and e) a discharge portal having a center and a lower end providing access through the grease trap tank outer wall in the grease chamber to the outside of the grease trap tank, wherein the lower end of the discharge portal is located to permit removal by gravity of liquid grease from the surface of the effluent passing through the grease trap.
