Question

A grease trap works on the principle that: Select one:

a. greases with low relative density will float on the surface of water.
b. greases and water cannot mix.
c. slow moving fluid streams allow the mixtures to separate.
d. centrifugal force can be used to enhance precipitation of greases.

Answer 1

A grease trap works by allowing slow moving fluid streams to separate mixtures.

Step-by-step explanation:

A grease trap works on the principle that slow moving fluid streams allow the mixtures to separate. In a grease trap, wastewater flows slowly through the trap, allowing the heavier solid particles to settle at the bottom and the lighter grease and oil to float to the top. The separated grease is then collected and removed from the trap.
