5. Description
5.1. Grease separator WNG-S1/S2
A grease separator is used wherever waste water containing grease is to be expected. The grease separator separates
grease, oil and sludge from the waste water. Thanks to the flushing and disposal device, the grease separator can be dis-
posed of with virtually no odour nuisance, as the odour-tight system does not have to be opened for this purpose. The hose
of the disposal vehicle can be connected to the permanently installed disposal line, which is routed to an easily accessible
point. The separated grease is pumped directly into the disposal vehicle. This eliminates the time-consuming and unhy-
gienic laying out of the disposal hoses through utility and storage rooms (e.g. food areas). In addition, there is no odour
nuisance.

5.3. Intended use
The separator system is intended exclusively for the separation of saponifiable oils and fats of vegetable and animal origin.
Any other use is considered improper. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage; the risk for this is borne
solely by the user!
Animal and vegetable oils and fats must not be discharged into the public disposal systems and into bodies of water, as they
cause cross-sectional constrictions and blockages of the disposal pipes when cold. Furthermore, after a short decomposi-
tion time, fatty acids are formed, which lead to unpleasant odours and attack pipes and structures of the drainage systems.
The solidified layer of grease on the water surface also inhibits the necessary oxygen supply to water bodies and sewage
treatment plants. In addition, DIN1986 Part 1 requires the retention of harmful substances. For these reasons, grease se-
parators must be provided and disposed of appropriately. The temperature in the separator should be as low as possible. An
increase of 10°C halves the separation efficiency.
Compliance with the operating, maintenance and servicing conditions prescribed by the manufacturer is also part of the
intended use.
6. Installation
6.1. Installation location / prerequisites
Outdoor installation in frost-free rooms
Before installing the grease separator, check the following:
Separator systems should be installed near the points where the waste water is produced. Furthermore, the suction
connection should be easily accessible for cleaning vehicles.
• The system should not be installed near recreation rooms, especially not near windows or ventilation openings, so that
odour nuisance is avoided
• It should be easily accessible for cleaning vehicles
• Room with good ventilation or/and aeration as well as level and sufficiently load-bearing installation surface (observe
stability/ceiling load)
• Room temperature at least 15°C.
• Sealed floor covering with integrated drainage point.
• Hot and cold water connection
• Room height at least 60 cm higher than the grease separator system so that the inspection cover can be opened during
cleaning work.
• Free working space, at least 1 m, in front of the grease separator system.
• The waste water must be fed to the grease separator system in a free fall
• Inlet with calming section of at least 1 m (gradient 1:50).

8
• If the inlet pipe is longer than 10 m, it must be vented separately.
• Foreign objects (cutlery, crown caps, mustard bags, bones, etc.) disturb the separation process.) interfere with the
operation of the separator
• In areas at risk of flooding, the system can be secured against floating
6.2. Installation
• Install the inlet and outlet
• Make pipe connections to the building installation at the inlet and outlet.
• Ensure that the seals are sufficiently greased.
• The pipe materials used should be resistant to animal and vegetable fats, oils and their degradation products (seal
made of NBR, high temperatures).
A device for sampling and inspection must be installed directly at the outlet of the separator and before it is mixed with
other waste water (already included in the scope of delivery, depending on the version)
The sampling point or device of the - The sampling point or device of the separator system must be freely accessible and
arranged in such a way that only waste water that has flowed through the separator system is sampled
6.3. Backflow-free installation
Separator systems for grease with a still water level below the backflow level must be drained via downstream lifting units
• If necessary, install a direct disposal pipe. Install direct disposal pipe - The disposal pipe intended for emptying should
have a diameter of at least 50 mm clear width
• The choice of pipe material for the disposal pipe should be made according to the wastewater contents (extremely high
solids content) and the special operating situation (overpressure / underpressure).
• The disposal pipe should be laid in a steadily rising manner from the grease separator to the transfer point to the
disposal vehicle. Changes in the direction of the pipe due to 90° bends should be made with a large radius if possible
• The disposal pipe must be able to be sealed odour-tight (e.g. Storz B-coupling)
• Tension-resistant connections of the individual pipes and fittings must be used
6.4. Ventilation pipe
• The inlet and outlet pipes at grease separator systems must be sufficiently ventilated
• For this purpose, the inlet pipe must be routed above the roof as a ventilation pipe. All connection lines longer than 5
m must be vented separately
• No other ventilation systems may be connected to these ventilation lines
• The ventilation line of the supply line and, if necessary, of the grease separator can be combined to form a collective
ventilation system
6.5. Initial filling and pressure test
• Ensure that there are no foreign substances or impurities in the grease separator.
• Fill the entire grease separator system completely with water.
• Carry out a pressure test by opening both inspection covers.
• Seal the drain and inlet with suitable means.
• Fill the grease separator system completely with water and make sure that there are no leaks.
• Restore the functionality of the drain and inlet.
