Drain interceptors, also known as drain separators or interceptor traps, serve as the final defence against contaminants like fats, oils, and greases from entering waterways at commercial and industrial sites. They collect surface water contaminants (oil, silt, dirt, and brake dust) before they reach the stormwater system, storing them in interceptor tanks.
Many systems include alarms and monitoring to inform owners about fullness and functionality. Regular maintenance (emptying and cleaning) is essential, and documentation of proper waste disposal is crucial to avoid legal issues with the Environment Agency for any pollution caused by inadequately maintained systems. Using drain interceptors effectively is vital for new production facilities.
A drain interceptor is a large underground chamber designed to slow down the flow of wastewater. Whereas an interceptor trap is a much smaller trapping device that works in localised areas directly in the drainage line.
Drain interceptors work well for businesses that must comply with environmental regulations, such as petrol stations and interceptor traps work well for preventing contaminants from entering the sewer in the first place.
