Grease Control Equipment
All new or renovated Food Service Facilities (FSFs) are required to install and maintain grease control equipment at their facility to capture the fats, oils, and grease (FOG) produced on site. KUB will determine the type and size of the grease control equipment required based on the facility. The amount and type of food prepared or served and the plumbing fixtures within the facility all play a role in determining the equipment required.
All grease control equipment will be installed where it is easy for inspections, cleaning, and removal of the grease at any time and be in an area that is sufficient distance from any air intake. All grease control equipment within the KUB wastewater collection system is subject to random inspections to ensure program compliance. Maintaining grease control equipment is imperative to prevent future problems and costly additional expenses.
