Grease traps are a mandatory installation on commercial kitchen drainage in Dubai, required by Dubai Municipality to prevent fats, oils and grease from entering the building sewage system and causing blockages. Kitco supplies and installs stainless steel grease traps and automatic grease interceptors sized to Dubai Municipality's published capacity methodology for restaurants, hotels, ghost kitchens and food manufacturing facilities across the UAE. The grease trap is evaluated at every DM food premises inspection — an undersized, incorrectly installed or poorly maintained grease trap is a common reason for food premises licence refusal or enforcement action in Dubai, making correct specification and professional installation essential from the kitchen planning stage.
Grease Trap Sizing for Dubai Commercial Kitchens — DM Methodology
Dubai Municipality determines required grease trap capacity based on the number of meals served per day and the cooking processes used. High-fat cooking operations (deep frying, grilling, meat roasting) produce greater grease loads per meal than vegetarian or light-cooking menus, and DM's calculation methodology accounts for this in the required capacity. A restaurant serving 200 covers per day with a standard mixed menu typically requires a 50–100 L passive grease trap. A kitchen producing 1000+ covers per day with intensive frying operations may require a 300–500 L automatic grease interceptor. Kitco performs the DM capacity calculation and provides the documentation for the DM food premises plan submission as standard with every grease trap supply.
Stainless Steel vs Polymer Grease Traps in UAE Commercial Kitchen Drainage
Stainless steel grease traps (Grade 304) are significantly more durable and appropriate for UAE commercial kitchen applications than polymer alternatives. Commercial kitchen wastewater combines high-temperature discharge from dishwashers and pot-wash sinks (60–80°C), concentrated cleaning chemicals, food acids and abrasive food particles — a combination that rapidly degrades polymer grease traps through thermal distortion, chemical attack and physical abrasion. Grade 304 stainless steel is resistant to all commercial kitchen wastewater conditions without deformation, corrosion or seal failure, maintaining effective grease separation performance and structural integrity across years of continuous commercial service. Kitco fabricates all grease traps in-house at Al Quoz in Grade 304 stainless steel with welded construction — no mechanical joints that can loosen under thermal cycling.
Kitco supplies and installs DM-compliant stainless steel grease traps for commercial kitchens across Dubai and the UAE. We provide DM capacity calculations and compliance documentation with every installation. Contact us at +971 56 402 3048 for a quotation based on your kitchen's daily meal output.
