Patent

CA 2353746

An automatic draw-off grease interceptor (10), for removing grease from an effluent stream containing grease and water, comprises a separation tank (12) defining a separation chamber (40). An effluent inlet (29) is connected with the separation tank (12) for permitting flow of the effluent stream into the separation chamber (40) to form a body of effluent in the separation chamber, the body of effluent having an upper surface. The interceptor (10) also includes a pump (70) for pumping grease from the body of effluent in the separation chamber (40). The interceptor (10) also comprises a sensor operative for sensing the presence of a thickened layer of grease in the body of effluent at a predetermined level (120). The sensor comprises an insulated conductive probe (90) extending generally vertically in the separation tank (12) from a location above the upper surface of the body of effluent to a location below the predetermined level (120). The interceptor (10) also comprises means far continuously measuring the capacitance between the probe (90) and the separation tank (12) as the thickness of the layer of grease varies.
