The Gravity Interceptor also allows for solids retention from food grinders. Gravity grease interceptors are generally located outdoors away from the kitchen areas. This eliminates the health department concerns regarding maintenance and disposal of FOGs.
General InformationSewers back up an estimated 400,000 times each year in the United States causing approximately 40,000 municipal sanitary system over�ows (SSO). The EPA has determined that sewer pipe blockages are the leading cause of SSO’s and grease is the primary cause of sewer blockages.Grease interceptors are devices designed to reduce the amount of FOG (Fats, Oil and Greases) in wastewater.
Grease interceptors are used in establishments to remove excessive amounts of grease that may interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of wastewater. Even if accumulated FOG does not escalate into blockages and SSO’s, it will disrupt wastewater treatment operations and increase costs. Most Local plumbing codes prohibit any industrial user from discharging FOG over 100 (mg/l) into the public sewer system.
The general doctrine, of most Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), is one of “user pay”, especially when it comes to solid waste. Therefore, it makes sense for establishments that create FOG to be responsible for its collection and disposal. Otherwise, the burden is on the municipality and ultimately the taxpayer to pay for sewer blockages and grease overloads at sewer treatment plants. It is prudent for the consultant engineer to utilize a Best Management Practice (BMP) that includes adequate sizing for the grease interceptor.
Typical applications include commercial and institutional kitchens and food processing plants. The waste discharge from these facilities usually contains high temperature water, high organic loads, FOG, suspended food particles, and detergents.
New plumbing codes have eliminated the term “grease trap” from the code and now designated “Hydromechanical” Grease interceptor and “Gravity” Grease interceptor as the two types of grease interceptors. Park® sells both units, but Gravity Grease interceptors are by far the design of choice by engineers and city o�cials.
Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors incorporate air entrapment, the buoyancy of grease in the water and hydromechanical separations with interior ba�ing for FOG separation. Hydromechanical units incorporate a �ow-control device that controls velocity as it enters the interceptor.These are typically smaller interceptors installed indoors in the �oor or under-the-sink. Hydromechanical grease interceptors require cleaning every 2-4 days and are typically cleaned by kitchen personnel. City health departments have concerns regarding proper cleanout and accurate documentation of maintenance. Many major cities have prohibited the installation of hydromechanical interceptors within food preparation areas without special variances.
Hydromechanical units are sized by determining �ow-through rate (gpm) at peak demand for each �xture draining into the unit.
Check with the local AHJ before specifying Hydromechanical units to determine if the jurisdiction allows these type units.
Gravity Grease Interceptors incorporate two or more compartments in series and use its inherent larger volume to maximize the pretreatment of the wastewater. By comparison, the Gravity Interceptor is more e�ective because of its larger volume that acts as a heat-sink. This allows for temperature di�erential (cool down) and more retention timeof the greasy liquid to promote separation and coagulation of FOGs from the wastewater.

Recent �ndings by EPA of SSOs in cities and accompanying �nes have caused states and municipalities to require haulers of grease to be registered. Owners are required to maintain documentation of “pump-out” for review by the health department.
MaintenanceOne of the most important features for the successful operation of the grease interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is only as good as its maintenance program. The interceptor should be located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning and removal of collected FOG. The interceptor should be located near the source of the wastewater for the protection of the piping system.
There should be an adequate number of access manholes to permit access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. Access manholes should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manholes should not be less than 20” in size. All manholes should extend to grade and be suitable for tra�c loading for indoor and sensitive areas.
The grease interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to insure grease detention performance. Cleaning should be performed when the interceptor is at 75% of grease retention. The frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. Pumping frequencies for restaurants range from 30 to 90 days. Most AHJs have minimum requirements for pump out and require pump out manifest records be maintained for review by local health departments. Typically, pump out companies are required to be registered with the state’s water quality agency.Types of Grease Interceptors
Gravity Grease Interceptors manufactured by ParkUSA are available in several styles depending on the application.
• Typically, the ParkUSA GT Series Interceptor is the most economic and preferred choice over all other interceptor types. The Park GT Series Interceptor is manufactured of Class II 4500 PSI precast concrete o�ering superior structural strength and longevity. As an option, the interceptor can be equipped with a variety of interior chemical proof liners including PVC.
• The ParkUSA GTS Series Interceptor is a stainless steel unit and is recommended for applications where the grease interceptor is installed in a freestanding position, i.e., in a basement or on a slab.
• The ParkUSA GTF Series Interceptor is manufactured from �berglass reinforced polyester (FRP) material and is corrosion resistant and lightweight for above or below ground installations.

Grease Interceptor SizingGravity Grease Interceptors are recommended to be sized utilizing Best Management Practices (BMP). The commonly used BMP sizing methods are the Seating Method and the Drainage Fixture Unit Method (2012 UPC). All methods are based on sizing according to local plumbing codes and on years of �eld performance testing with methods utilizing the relationship of the probable �ow rate and retention time to estimate the grease interceptor size.
Seating Method:The di�erent variables include number of seats or beds, gallons of wastewater per meal, storage capacity factor, number of hours open and loading factor.
(D) x (MF) x (GL) x (RT) x (ST) = Size of Grease Interceptor (gallons)
Where: D = Total Number of Seats in Dining AreaMF = Meal Factor, based on establishment type & average time per meal: 1.33 Fast Food / Cafeteria (45min) 1.00 Restaurant (60min) 0.67 Fine Dining (90 min) 0.50 Banquet Hall & Commissaries (120 min) 0.375 School Cafeteria* (120 min) *(lunches served over 120 min & 25% absentee/sack lunch factor rate)GO = Gallons of wastewater per meal: 6 with dishwashing machine 5 without dishwashing machine 2 single service kitchen** 1 food waste disposalRT = Retention Time: 2.5 commercial kitchen waste 1.5 single service kitchenST = Storage Factor, based on hours of operation: 1.0 operation of 8 hours 1.5 operation of 12 hours 2.0 operation of 16 hours 3.0 operation of 24 hours 1.5 single service kitchen** ** Single service kitchen: meals are served as take out or on disposable plates and utensils; facility clean-up is the only dishwashing involved.
Example #1:A well known Seafood Restaurant is being designed with a seating capacity of 130 people, a full service kitchen, and an 8 hour operation schedule:
(D) x (MF) x (GO) x (RT) x (ST)= Size of Grease Interceptor (gal)130 x 1.00 x 5 x 2.5 x 1.0 = 1625 gallons
A 2,000 Gallon interceptor is selected
Example #2:A popular Fast Food Restaurant is being designed with a seating capacity of 50 people, a single service kitchen, and a 24 hour operation schedule:
(D) x (MF) x (GO) x (RT) x (ST)= Size of Grease Interceptor (gal)50 x 1.33 x 2 x 1.5 x 3.0 = 598.5 gallons
A 750 Gallon Interceptor is selected
Drainage Fixture Unit Method:The DFU method of sizing typically results in a smaller grease interceptor than is recommended by ParkUSA but conforms to the latest 2012 Uniform Plumbing Code. The use of this method of sizing may result in a system that requires continuous maintenance and/or will clog facility piping and municipal sanitary systems.
The �rst step is to quantify all the �xtures that could receive kitchen-type waste. It is important to note that only the �xtures that receive kitchen related waste are tabulated (not toilets, urinals, etc...) As published in IPC Table 709.1 or UPC Table 7-3, DFU’s are tabulated for all the plumbing �xtures.
The following table from UPC Section 702.0, Fixture Unit Equivalents, covers �xtures and devices not shown in Table 7-3 and is more applicable to commercial establishments.
Example:An Industrial Food Processing Plant has the following �xtures:• Six �oor drains,• Three hand sinks,• Two 3-compartment sinks,• Four 2-compartment sinks• A pot sink• A 20 gpm dishwasher discharging into a dedicated receptor• A mop sink.
The �xtures are tabulated as follows:
Per UPC handbook de�nitions, a Fixture Unit is a quantity in terms of which the load-producing e�ects on the plumbing system of di�erent kinds of plumbing �xtures are expressed on some arbitrarily chosen scale.
A total of 44 DFU’s are calculated. From the table provided above, a 1,250 gallon grease interceptor is selected.
Worksheets:Attached are two worksheets presented as typical examples of tools ParkUSA o�ers to help with sizing. The �rst worksheet addresses the DFU method and second worksheet presents the Seating/Meals method. Please contact ParkUSA (888-611-7275) ([email protected]) for electronic copies of the sizing worksheets or to request assistance with speci�c projects.
