Oil and grease from food service facilities are defined as materials either liquid or solid, composed primarily of oil and grease from animal or vegetable sources. Oil and grease have poor solubility in water and tend to separate from the liquid solution. It decreases pipe capacity and requires the piping systems to be cleaned more often and worse, to be replaced sooner than otherwise expected. It also hampers effective treatment at the wastewater treatment plant.
