The grease trap ties in with the kitchen layout, exhaust and fit-out approvals. We prepare the drainage and grease trap details alongside the rest of the restaurant’s fit-out drawings.
Environmental NOC for Restaurant Grease Trap Dubai
Restaurants and commercial kitchens in Dubai need a properly sized grease trap so fats, oils and grease are separated before wastewater enters the drainage. The grease trap and kitchen drainage are part of the environmental side of a food outlet’s approvals — we design them and prepare the drawings for submission.

What the Grease Trap Does
Kitchen wastewater carries fats and oils that solidify in drains. A grease trap holds the water long enough for grease to separate and be removed, protecting the building and public drainage.
