What Are ACO Grease Management Systems?
ACO grease management systems are designed to capture and separate fats, oils and grease (FOG) from commercial wastewater before it can enter and harm a drainage system. We offer a wide range of ACO grease management solutions that are excellent for restaurants, hotels, universities, hospitals and food production facilities where effective management of FOG is essential.
We also offer regular servicing and maintenance to help businesses support their environmental compliance responsibilities, including those under the Water Industry Act 1991. Our preventative maintenance services are crucial for reducing the risk of blockages, downtime and costly penalties.

ACO Grease Trap Emptying & Cleaning
At Aqua Mundus, we provide professional ACO grease trap emptying and cleaning services. These services include FOG removal and the safe disposal of accumulated sludge, followed by a thorough cleaning of your grease management system.
The frequency of emptying depends on the size of your grease management system and the volume of FOG generated. Professional emptying helps reduce unpleasant odours, while also supporting your environmental compliance responsibilities. All waste is removed and disposed of by licensed carriers, with waste transfer documentation provided to give you a clear record of compliant waste disposal.

Regular grease trap maintenance is essential for keeping systems performing reliably. These helpful services can also prevent issues such as unpleasant odours, blockages and equipment damage. Along with preventing hygienic concerns from escalating, scheduled maintenance supports your business’s environmental compliance responsibilities.
Routine servicing can also extend the lifespan of your system, helping you maximise your investment and reduce the likelihood of costly emergency repairs and unexpected downtime. ACO grease management systems that receive regular maintenance are well equipped to perform reliably and keep your commercial kitchen hygienic and compliant.
FAQs: ACO Grease Traps
-
What is an ACO grease trap?
An ACO grease trap is designed to capture fats, oils and grease (FOG), along with food debris, before wastewater enters the drainage system. Typically installed beneath sinks, these compact units feature accessible inlet and outlet connections, making them easy to integrate into existing commercial kitchen drainage systems.
-
What is an ACO grease separator?
An ACO grease separator is a higher-capacity system designed to separate fats, oils and grease (FOG) from wastewater before it enters the drainage network. They’re commonly installed in busy commercial kitchens that produce larger volumes of wastewater. Models such as the ACO LipuMobil-P are certified to BS EN 1825 and feature base-mounted wheels, allowing the unit to be transported safely to a designated disposal area for emptying.
-
What is the difference between an ACO grease separator and grease interceptor?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both separate FOG from wastewater, although grease interceptors generally refer to larger-capacity units designed to manage higher wastewater flows in demanding commercial environments.
-
How often should an ACO grease trap be serviced?
The frequency of servicing depends on your system, kitchen size and the volume of fats, oils and grease (FOG) produced. Most commercial kitchens benefit from regular scheduled servicing, which helps reduce the risk of downtime and instills confidence that the system is operating effectively.
-
How often should an ACO grease trap be emptied?
Emptying frequency depends on the size of the grease trap and the volume of FOG produced. Busy commercial kitchens may require more frequent emptying to prevent excessive grease and sludge build-up.
-
Can ACO grease traps be repaired?
Yes, ACO grease traps and grease management systems can be repaired if faults develop. Aqua Mundus provides fault diagnosis, replacement parts and repair services to restore reliable system performance.
-
What is ACO LipuJet?
The ACO LipuJet is a free-standing grease separator that features integrated sludge traps, along with inlets and outlets for pipe junctions. Their design makes them easy to assemble and simplifies emptying and cleaning.
-
What is ACO LipuSmart?
ACO LipuSmart is an integrated grease management system that combines grease separation, pumping and system controls within a single unit. It’s designed for commercial kitchens with more complex drainage requirements.
-
Why is grease management important for commercial kitchens?
Grease management in commercial kitchens is important to prevent attracting fruit flies, unpleasant odours and bacterial growth. If left unmanaged, it can also increase blockages, affect the local sewer system and result in downtime and costly fines.
-
Are ACO grease separators compliant with BS EN 1825?
Yes. Many ACO grease separators are designed and manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1825, the European standard governing the design, sizing, installation and testing of grease separators.
