A product-focused buyer guide for Dubai restaurants, cafés, hotels and cloud kitchens comparing grease trap types, sizing, materials, pricing and DM documentation.
Quick answer
Grease trap supply is not just buying a box — it is choosing the right drainage protection system.
For Dubai restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens, hotels and catering facilities, the right grease trap should match kitchen output, sink count, grease load, installation space, pipe route, cleaning access and DM documentation requirements. A professional supplier should help you compare models, confirm suitability, arrange installation planning and give a clear quotation.
Commercial kitchens in Dubai handle heavy daily wastewater from sinks, preparation areas, dishwashing zones, fryers, grills, pot-wash stations and floor drains. If fats, oils and grease enter the drainage line without the right separation system, they can harden inside pipes, slow wastewater flow, create bad odours and increase the risk of blocked drains.
That is why grease trap supply in Dubai is a kitchen performance, hygiene, drainage and compliance decision — not only a product purchase.

Product comparison
Grease trap types used in commercial kitchens
Different businesses need different models. A small coffee shop does not need the same grease trap as a hotel kitchen or central catering facility.
| Grease trap type | Best for | Material / position | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-sink grease trap | Small cafés, pantries, compact restaurant kitchens | Stainless steel or compact unit under counter | Good when access and space are limited. |
| Above-ground grease trap | Restaurants, cloud kitchens and medium commercial kitchens | Stainless steel or approved product setup | Easier access for future cleaning and inspection. |
| Gravity grease interceptor | Hotels, catering kitchens, food courts and high-volume sites | Larger internal or external installation route | Useful where wastewater and grease loads are higher. |
| PVC/uPVC grease trap | Selected external, underground or project-based routes | PVC/uPVC model based on project requirement | Chosen when consultant/specification calls for it. |
| Custom / project grease trap | Malls, central kitchens, factories and large commercial developments | Custom stainless steel, underground interceptor or C-type chamber | Requires site review, drawings and project quotation. |
Size and material
How to choose the right grease trap size and material
Grease trap capacity should be based on kitchen operation, not guesswork. An undersized unit can overflow quickly. An oversized unit can waste space and budget.
Capacity depends on
- Sink count and connected fixtures
- Peak service hours and daily dishwashing
- Food type, fryer use and grease load
- Wastewater flow rate and pipe route
- Available installation space and access
- New installation, replacement or fit-out project
Material depends on
- Stainless steel for durability and clean presentation
- PVC/uPVC for selected project and external routes
- Under-sink units for limited space
- Project interceptors for large commercial sites
- Documentation or consultant specification
- Quantity and wholesale order requirements
