OVERVIEW

The grease management industry has developed significantly in the past decade with the continuous advancement of product design, progression of performance standards, and the emergence of HGIs as a mainstream, progressive solution for the future.

Traditionally, the term “Grease Trap” has been used in the industry. In recent years this term is progressively disappearing from vocabulary and technical references based on an industry-wide recognition that the term “trap” would suggest the presence of a water seal integrally located within the interceptor, leading to potential confusion of the function of a grease interceptor. This practice ceased many years ago, modern interceptors being designed to be installed in conjunction with external water seal traps as a standard part of the system.

In addition to this clarification, with publication of the 2006 UPC plumbing code, three generic types of grease interceptors were introduced and have since become the industry standard for designating the type of interceptor being considered.

GREASE INTERCEPTOR (GI):

“A plumbing appurtenance or appliance that is installed in a sanitary drainage system to intercept nonpetroleum fats, oil, and grease (FOG) from a wastewater discharge.”

Specific characteristics further classify GI’s into one of the three types:

HYDROMECHANICAL GREASE

INTERCEPTOR (HGI):

An HGI is sized by flow rate (GPM) and qualified separation/retention efficiency, validated against National performance Standards. An HGI incorporates a defined means of flow control, acts to entrain air to influent, includes interior baffling, or barriers in combination or separately, working to promote hydromechanical separation. HGI’s may be installed inside the facility they serve or outside the building, above or below grade.

GRAVITY GREASE INTERCEPTOR (GGI):

A GGI is characterized by volume, minimum 20 minute retention time, baffle(s), not less than two compartments, a total volume of not less than 350 gallons, and gravity separation. If not recognized by an official body, a GGI will be designed by a registered professional engineer. GGI’s are generally installed outside the building they serve and buried below grade.

GREASE REMOVAL DEVICE (GRD):

A GRD is a hydromechanical grease interceptor that mechanically removes nonpetroleum FOG from the separation chamber, the control of which is either automatic or manually initiated and involves maintaining a liquefied state of intercepted FOG by heating. GRD’s are installed inside the facility they serve.

Selection of the appropriate size HGI is critical to the performance of the system. HGIs are sized based on flow rate and their grease carrying capacity. Flow control devices must be installed per plumbing code to ensure the waterflow does not exceed the certified flow rate of the HGI. HGI’s are performance tested to National Standards (such as PDI G-101, ASME A112.14.3, CSA B481) offering the end user confidence that the minimum level of efficiency will be achieved.

All models of the Endura grease interceptors employ a similar process to effectively separate grease. An uncontrolled discharge passing through a flow control device (A) which is designed with an integral orifice to manage the flow of discharge into the interceptor, before or at the inlet of the interceptor. Orifice openings are calibrated for each certified unit based on the results of the performance testing during certification. The fluid experiences a Venturi effect as a result of passing through the constricted section of the fitting. After passing the orifice (A), the fluid experiences a drop in pressure due to the Venturi effect which draws air into the inlet flow via the air intake (B), promoting laminar flow after the point of restriction. The inlet baffle (C) slows the velocity of the influent and further promotes the establishment of laminar flow. Next, the integral ramp (D) will direct the wastewater stream upwards to promote the rise of FOG into the retention area of the tank (E). The diameter of grease globules formed, differences in specific gravity and viscosity of the fluids, and the temperature of the grease and water helps the grease efficiently rise to the surface.

Treated effluent within discharge FOG concentration limits will exit (F) into the municipal network while separated grease will be retained in the grease retention area. As the volume of grease stored reaches the capacity of the unit, the lid can be manually removed for regular maintenance and cleaning.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

By definition, an HGI is designed to use managed flow, air entrainment, and specifically designed features to provide an enhanced level of separation efficiency, removing non petroleum FOG (Fats, Oil and Grease) from a transition flow of wastewater generated by commercial foodservice activities (Restaurants, cafeterias, institutional kitchens , sandwich shops and coffee houses, for example).

KITCHEN BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

RECOMMENDED BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP’s) for FOOD SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS* Owners and operators of food service establishments are encouraged to implement the following BMP’s to help improve the quality of wastewater discharged to drains and sewers. Please check with your municipal plumbing code or wastewater department policies to determine conformance criteria for the proper handling of wastewater.

1. Put signs in the kitchen, particularly over the sink, telling staff what can and what cannot go down the drains.

2. Do not pour oil, grease or large amounts of oily liquids such as gravies, sauces or salad dressings down the drain.

Collect this material in a secure waste-grease container for disposal at approved locations.

3. Scrape off greasy trays and pans into a waste-grease container before putting them into a sink or dishwasher.

4. Scrape food waste from pots, pans and dishes into a garbage bin before putting them into a sink or dishwasher.

5. Put a fine basket strainer in sink drains to catch solids as well as dishwasher discharge to catch items such as rice and corn.

6. Install a special-purpose solids interceptor upstream of the grease interceptor to capture solid particles.

Solids take up space and interfere with oil and grease separation. Also, food-waste solids that collect in a grease interceptor will decay and cause odor problems.

7. Do not pour coffee grounds or tea leaves down the drain.

8. Develop and implement a plan to reduce, reuse and recycle waste

• Use a recycling service for your used cooking oil. Used cooking oil can be recycled into useful products such as soap, animal feed and biodiesel products.

• Separate out food waste for delivery to a centralized composting site.

9. Cleaning grease off kitchen exhaust systems. Grease that builds up on exhaust hoods, filters, ducts and fans is usually removed and cleaned to the bare metal by a certified service company. The following cleaning procedure is recommended:

• Use hand scrapers to remove as much grease as possible from the exhaust system. Collect and store the grease in a separate container labeled “waste grease.”

• Wash the exhaust system with a caustic cleaning solution, collecting the water in a bucket.

• Neutralize the wash water in the bucket by adding a weak acid such as lemon juice, citric acid or a little vinegar.

• Skim off any grease floating in the bucket and store it in the waste-grease container.

• Pour the neutralized water from the bucket into a drain that is connected to a grease interceptor. Be careful not to pour the solids at the bottom of the bucket into the drain.

Store the solids in the waste-grease container.

* Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD), “Best Management Practices & Code Practices for Waste Water Management at Food Sector Establishments”, Nov. 2001, pp 8, 10.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

All grease interceptors must be cleaned regularly to maintain efficient operation. Endura® recommends a licensed and locally approved service provider manage the regular removal, cleaning and disposal of the fats, oil and grease that is captured in your interceptor.

For point of use units (7 GPM – 50 GPM) that will be maintained by Food Service Establishment FSE staff, make sure training is provided in:

• proper function, operation and maintenance of grease interceptors outlined in this manual

• proper storage, handling and disposal of wastes

• proper separation and storage of materials

• proper use and handling of cleaning aids

• proper housekeeping

• local code requirements and Best Management Practices for food sector facilities.

CAUTION

Failure to maintain the grease interceptor can result in back-ups, flooding and property damage.

MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY

The frequency of grease removal is dependent upon a variety of factors; the type of food served, the capacity of the grease interceptor and the concentration of grease in the water. Increasing the frequency of cleaning will reduce odor problems associated with grease interceptors and improve retention efficiency.

For tools to help determine the optimal maintenance frequency, visit enduracalculator.com.

Once an optimal grease removal interval has been established for a specific installation, regular cleaning at this interval is necessary to maintain the rated efficiency of the interceptor. Some municipalities require cleaning logs be maintained and kept for a minimum of 2 years.

MEASURING GREASE LEVELS USING A DIP TUBE

A commercially available core sampler may be used to measure the grease depth of the unit. The depth found may be used to determine maintenance frequency when compared to Maximum Grease Height.

The maximum depth of grease allowed to accumulate prior to servicing shall not exceed max rated capacity per Table below.

ENDURA XL MONITORING SYSTEM

The Endura XL Monitoring System is available for installation into grease interceptors 75, 100, and 150 gpm. The monitor has a high liquid level probe to alert the user of potential backups and a grease sensor that can alarm when grease depth reaches a pre-determined level in the tank.

DO ENDURA® XL TANKS NEED TO BE

DIRECTLY VENTED?

Unless specifically mandated by local code or bylaw, Endura® XL tanks DO NOT require direct venting. Venting is required on the downstream drain like most plumbing appliances and fixtures.

DO I NEED TO INSTALL A CLEAN OUT BEFORE

OR AFTER AN INTERCEPTOR?

Most plumbing codes require an upstream and downstream cleanout immediately before and after the interceptor.

DO I HAVE TO INSTALL THE FLOW CONTROL

DEVICE?

The Flow Control is essential to the performance of the interceptor. It must be installed as indicated. Without it, the interceptor does not meet the requirements of the applicable standards.

MY JURISDICTION REQUIRES EFFLUENT

SAMPLING VIA A DOWNSTREAM ACCESS.

WHAT DO I DO?

For those jurisdictions that require the capability to sample, Endura XL incorporates a sampling port within the outlet assembly. This is accessed by the removal of the air balance/sample port cap allowing water quality samples to be taken for analysis. Some AHJ’s may require a separate downstream sampling point. The Endura sampling well can provide a flexible solution for these applications.

WHAT FIXTURES SHOULD BE CONNECTED

TO THE INTERCEPTOR?

A grease interceptor should never receive sanitary wastewater discharge. Wastewater discharge to a grease interceptor will be from foodservice activities only. The requirements for appliances and fixtures that must and must not be connected to a grease interceptor is typically defined by your local plumbing codes and or jurisdictional by-laws.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD AN INTERCEPTOR BE

CLEANED?

Cleaning frequency depends on several factors. We recommend using the maintenance interval calculator at enduracalculator.com to help anticipate cleaning frequency.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO MAINTAIN MY

ENDURA XL INSTALLATION?

Endura XL units are significantly more compact (less internal volume) than their equivalent GGI counterparts. Pumping is typically charged by the volume of gallons removed, so the ongoing maintenance will be proportionally less as well.

Rates will vary significantly by region and by contractor.

Always use a licensed or approved contractor to maintain your interceptor.

CAN I INSTALL MORE THAN ONE ENDURA

XL UNIT IF MY JURISDICTION NEEDS A

MINIMUM CAPACITY BY CODE?

Depending on your jurisdiction, Endura XL may be installed in parallel and series installations. Consult local requirements.

I HEARD THAT PLASTIC TANKS CAN FLOAT

IN HIGH WATER TABLE AREAS, PARTICULARLY

WHEN PUMPED OUT FOR CLEANING.

IS THIS TRUE?

Yes it is, however Endura® XL is specifically designed to address this challenge. The Endura XL tanks are narrower at the top than the bottom and feature corrugations along the sides. The broad base provides stability and substantial resistance to being forced upward by water or freeze-thaw action. These features anchor the tank in the ground once backfilled. For areas of particular concern, an 8” concrete slab can be poured around the base to introduce further resistance.
