Inflammable Waste Traps

Purpose and Function of Waste Traps

Inflammable waste traps are used to separate lighter than water liquids from wastewater streams before discharge. By directing flow through an internal chamber arrangement, the trap allows unwanted materials to rise and remain contained while cleaner water exits the system. This process helps protect piping, treatment systems, and facility infrastructure from contamination.
