The study, Development of Portable Kitchen Wastewater Oil Separator aims to provide a proper way of disposing of oil and grease that comes from the kitchen of food chains. Oil is one of the commonly used products nowadays. It is used generally on vehicles, engines, tool machinery, cooking, etc. But oil is also reportedly the main contributor when it comes to water pollution. Improper disposal of oil into land, drainage system, rivers, and other bodies of water can severely damage the environment. Based on studies, 50-90 million liters of cooking oil is being wasted every year and if it is not disposed properly, it could cause oil pollution quite devastating. Wrong disposal of oil commonly happens at restaurants, food stalls, and other food related establishments. The device is capable of separating oil and grease from wastewater, to avoid the clogging of the pipes and to prevent the oil and grease from flowing straight to canals that may cause more problems. The prototype uses electricity to function. Portable Kitchen Wastewater Oil Separator is mainly composed of stainless steels and it has two main parts, the body and the disk skimmer that is being driven by a motor. This prototype is ideal for small or big restaurants to be installed. We conducted point-system survey for the prototype. Upon the survey, the result draws overall mean of 4.52 which means Highly Satisfying that interpretatively shows the efficiency of over-all performance of the prototype.
