113 Sizing Hydro Mechanical Grease Interceptors All interceptors are sized by calculating flow in GPM Drain pipe capacity Actual flow
114 Pipe Size Diameter SIZING Grease INTERCEPTORS HYDRO MECHANICAL by Drain line capacity ¼ slope GPM
115 Step 1 SIZING Grease INTERCEPTORS HYDRO MECHANICAL by Actual fixture, sink Determine the cubic content of the fixture by multiplying length x width x depth. A sink 48 long by 24 wide by 12 deep Cubic content 48 x 24 x 12 = 13,824 cubic inches Step 2 Step 3 Determine the capacity in gallons. 1 gal. = 231 cubic inches. Determine actual drainage load. The fixture is usually filled to about 75% of capacity with waste water. The items being washed displace about 25% of the fixture content. Actual drainage load = 75% of the fixture capacity. Contents in gal. 13,824 = 59.8 gals 231 Actual drainage load.75 x 59.8 gals. = 44.9 gals. Step 4 Determine the flow rate and the drainage. In Calculated l flow rate for 1 minute period general, good practices dictate a one minute Flow rate 44.9 gals. = 44.9 GPM drainage period, however where conditions 1 Min. permit, a 2 minute period is acceptable. Drainage period is the actual time required to Calculated flow rate for 2 minute period completely empty the fixture. Flow rate 44.9 gals. = 22.5 GPM Flow Rate = Actual Drainage Load 2 Min. Drainage Period Step 5 Select the interceptor which corresponds to the For 1 minute period flow rate calculated. Note Select larger size 44.9 GPM when flow rate falls between two sizes listed. If For a 2 minute period the flow rate is above 50 GPM, select a larger interceptor GPM

170 SSO Sanitary Sewer overflows
171 SSO Sanitary Sewer overflows In Orange County, CA, 252 orders have been issued, closing beaches for more than 2000 days (from 1987 through 2000). The majority of these closures were the result of bacterial contamination from sewage spills flowing into the ocean, usually originating from sewer lines clogged with grease. This is almost 6 years of closure.
172 SSO Sanitary Sewer overflows SSO Sanitary Sewer overflows 2006 EPA has reported in monitoring 35 States t there were 40, beach day closings in the year 2006, due to contamination.
173 SSO Sanitary Sewer overflows Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts are fined $4.6 million for January 2006 sewage spill. Agreed to a $2.5 million settlement and released from liability for 93 sewage spill over the previous five years.

187 Myths and Facts
188 Myth: If grease is not used in food preparation a grease interceptor is not needed Fact: Grease is not the only problem. The overall problem is FOG. (Fats,oils and grease). These materials alone or in combination will result is sewer blockages Copy right PDI 2009
189 Myth: If food is not prepared on site a grease interceptor t is not needed d Fact: A stove is not the source of FOG, it is the sink. Containers and utensils can be a significant source of FOG Copy right PDI 2009
190 Myth: Grease interceptors only retain FOG Fact: In addition to FOG grease interceptors will capture food solids. Copy right PDI 2009
191 Myth: Choosing a larger size grease interceptor will result in a greater grease removal efficiency. Fact: When grease interceptor has been sized properly to the anticipated maximum flow using a grease interceptor with a larger flow capacity will not increase grease removal efficiency. Copy right PDI 2009
192 Myth: The larger the grease storage capacity the more efficient the interceptors grease removal. Fact: Grease must be separated from the waste water before it can be stored. Storage capacity and grease removal efficiency are not related. Copy right PDI 2009
193 Myth: The grease must cool and harden to separate from the waste water. Fact: Grease interceptors separate based on the difference in specific gravity of FOG and water. Liquefied grease floats just as well as solidified grease. Grease is lighter than water. Copy right PDI 2009
194 Myth: Hot water will melt the captured grease and wash the grease through h the interceptor Fact: All hydro mechanical grease interceptors t are tested t for grease removal efficiency with 150 F water. Copy right PDI 2009
195 Myth: Low temperature dish washers can connect to the grease interceptor. Fact: All dishwashers h can be problematic. It is not the temperature but the soaps, detergents and sanitizers that emulsify the FOG. Copy right PDI 2009
196 Myth: It is important to connect floor drains to the grease interceptor. Fact: Floor drains are not usually a significant ifi source of FOG. Drain cleaners and strong cleaning agents used on floors can emulsify FOG already captured in a grease interceptor. Copy right PDI 2009
197 Myth: Once the grease is captured in the interceptor, t it will remain captured in the interceptor as long as the interceptor is not yet 25% full. Fact: Because the grease (FOG) is contaminated with food particles and the interceptor is a breeding ground for bacteria, the FOG can be broken down, exit the interceptor t and create blockages downstream. Copy right PDI 2009
198 Myth: Over sizing an interceptor cannot hurt. Fact: Over sizing an interceptor relative to actual flow is a problem. It can result in the generation of hydrogen sulfide gas that can convert to an acid. Both metal and concrete structures downstream have suffered severe structural damage from this acid. Copy right PDI 2009
199 Myth: When the grease interceptor is full, the drain line will stop flowing. Fact: Water will continue to flow even when the FOG in the interceptor is at capacity. Additional grease in the wastewater will simply flow right through h the interceptor. t Grease interceptors t must be either manually or electronically monitored. Copy right PDI 2009
200 Myth: With the change to healthier cooking oils, there is less of a FOG problem. Fact: Cooking oils that are healthier for you are no healthier for the drainage system. They are all polar hydrocarbons. In fact, some of the new alternative ti cooking oils with specific gravities closer to water will be harder to capture from the wastewater. Copy right PDI 2009
201 Myth: A clogged drain an a clean out is the worst that can happen. Fact: FOG has can cause extensive sewer failure and costly repairs. Copy right PDI 2009
202
203 Myth: Grease does not clog plastic pipe Fact: FOG can create blockages in all drain pipe materials. Copy right PDI 2009
