Grease trap 

 

Best practice indicates that a grease trap gets fitted before the Tricel Vitae, particularly in 
applications where high quantities of grease/oil exist in the wastewater.  

 

For the grease trap tp continue  to perform effectively, it must be 
monitored/maintained on a regular basis and emptied when required. 

Warning

 

If high levels of grease/oil are present within the Tricel Vitae, the plant will not 

achieve the required treatment quality and it will reduce the lifespan of plant 

components. 

 

 

Sampling chamber 

 

Best practice indicates that a sampling chamber is fitted after every Tricel Vitae to allow 
easy access for sampling purposes.  

 

Care should be taken to ensure that the sampling apparatus does not come into contact with 
the pipework or walls of the sampling chamber to avoid contamination of the sample. 

 

Ensure that the outlet is installed high enough in the sampling chamber to allow for the 
required sampling volume to be retained in the bottom of the sampling chamber. 

 

The inlet/outlet pipework installed in the sampling chamber must be minimum diameter of 
110mm.
