The present invention comprises a gravity draining automatic FOG
interceptor with solids removal capability used as a first stage in the
treatment of gray water. A preferred embodiment comprises a multi
compartment container, the compartments separated by baffles, having a
serviceable solids strainer in a first compartment, a second compartment
having a cogged belt for FOG removal and collection, a third compartment
for collection of clarified effluent, and a fourth compartment for
tertiary treatment of the gray water effluent, for example, the
introduction of biotechnology. The unique baffle configuration prevents
biotechnology backflow migration from the fourth compartment with
resulting bacterial contamination of the FOG.
