5. Operation and Maintenance of Grease Separator Systems in Accordance
5. Operation and Maintenance of Grease Separator Systems in Accordance
with EN 1825-2 and DIN 4040-100
The provisions of DIN EN 1825-2 and DIN 4040-100 apply as a matter of principle.
5.1. Operation
Only the amount of wastewater determined by the dimensions may be fed into the
separator system. This may only contain fats or oils from organic sources.
The system must not be used for:

sewage containing faecal matter

rain water

wastewater containing oils or fats from mineral sources.
If the system is to be used for greasy wastewater which also contains washing up liquid
or cleaning products, these products must be suitable for use with a separator system
and must not form any stable emulsions.
Unauthorised removal of components of the separator system is not permitted. Any
damage to system components or operational faults must be repaired immediately by a
specialist company on the operator's own initiative.
In order to avoid strong odours being caused by bacteria breaking down the fats, it is
recommended that the system is checked at frequent intervals at the start. Once
sufficient experience in how the system operates has been gained, the definitive intervals
for inspection can be determined.
5.2. Operational Log
An operational log, in which the dates and results of the inspections undertaken,
maintenance and testing, disposal of the materials removed by the system and the
remedying of any faults identified are documented, must be maintained.
The operational log and test reports must be stored by the operator and must be
presented to the local responsible authorities or the operator of the municipal wastewater
systems which the separator system feeds into if requested.
5.3. Disposal
The disposal intervals must be arranged such that the storage capacity of the sludge trap
(half the volume of the sludge trap) and the separator (grease collection area) are not
exceeded. The sludge trap and separator must be emptied completely and cleaned at
least once a month, preferably every two weeks. The subsequent refilling of the
separator system must be undertaken using water (e.g. drinking water, industrial water,
treated wastewater from the grease separator system) which complies with the local
supply provisions. If exceptionally high levels of grease or sludge occur, the operator
should undertake inspections at appropriate shorter intervals and arrange for removal of
the sludge and grease at shorter intervals. All relevant legal provisions on waste disposal
must be complied with in disposing of the materials removed from the system.
