A FOG (Fats, Oil, or Grease) separator apparatus which includes:
- a first reservoir or chamber having a wastewater inlet configured to receive wastewater containing FOG;
- a second reservoir or chamber which is separated from the first reservoir by a first weir configured to permit overflow of at least FOG from the first reservoir to the second reservoir;
- a third reservoir or chamber separated from the second reservoir by a second weir configured to permit overflow of at least FOG from the second reservoir to the third reservoir;
- a syphon arrangement having a syphon inlet provided in the third reservoir at a first level and having a syphon outlet provided outside the third reservoir at a second level which is higher than the first level;
- and
- a pump arrangement comprising a FOG pump and a sensor provided in the third reservoir at a third level which is higher than the second level, wherein the pump has a pump inlet in the third reservoir above the first level, and wherein the pump is activated by the sensor in response to a liquid level or concentration in the third reservoir triggering the sensor.
