GREASE INTERCEPTORS
INTRODUCTION
RSK-GI Grease interceptors, is accordance with the legal obligations that stems from the entry into force of the Regulation (UE) N. º 305/2011 of Construction Products, fulfilling all the requisites of the Standard:
RSK-GI Grease Separators are totally watertight, appropriated to separate greases and oils of vegetable and animal origin from wastewater.
The raw material used was tested by an independent entity, in line with the requirements of Standard EN1825-1, guaranteeing high mechanical resistance and corrosion protection.
The equipment production under controlled conditions, the use of quality raw materials and the finished product inspection, in accordance with the demands of ISO Standard 9001, guarantee the final product quality.
ADVANTAGES
APPLICATION
The wastewater produced in food processing are full of oils and fats that interfere with drainage systems and sewage treatment.
The installation of a grease separator can retain oils and fats, avoiding damage to systems and sanitation, its application is recommended in the following locations:
DESIGN & OPERATION
RSK hydro-mechanical grease interceptors are designed to remove fats, oils, and grease from waste water.
Grease interceptors prevent greasy substances from entering plumbing systems, septic fields, and waste water treatment facilities, where they are difficult to process, and create environmental problems.
Commonly specified in commercial kitchen and food processing areas, properly specified and maintained interceptors keep drainage systems free of problematic grease accumulations.
Grease interceptors will separate all lighter-than-water substances, collecting them inside the interceptor, above the static water line.
Design criteria is regulated by plumbing code, and generally follows or references criteria set forth by The Plumbing & Drainage Institute (PDI), which tests and certifies standard capacity interceptors.
The accepted industry and PDI Standard (PDI-G101) is for interceptors to maintain 90% separation efficiency, up to their rated grease retention capacity (in. lbs.).
The interception process is accomplished by slowing incoming effluent with a flow restrictor (supplied with the interceptor), and directing it through baffling.
The slowing and baffling processes enable greasy substances to accumulate on top of the static water line, and treated water to exit into the drainage system, through a trap leg on the outlet side of the interceptor.
MATERIALS
For good general corrosion resistance and stability against intracrystalline corrosion effects of the various steels listed in the EN 10088-1, EN 10088-2 and EN 10088-3, only used austenitic steels (304L - 316L)
Interceptor bodies are 11 ga. cold rolled steel, with an oven cured, acid resistant baked grey epoxy coating, inside and out. Standard cover is epoxy coated.
Constructed using resins, reinforcement materials, processing agents and other materials in accordance with EN 976-1:1997, clause 3.
SIZING
The majority of plumbing codes list the drainage fixture-unit values for plumbing fixtures. For fixtures not listed, the codes provide drainage fixture-unit values based on drain outlet or trap size.
Drainage fixture-unit values are converted to GPM discharge rates on the basis of one drainage fixture-unit equaling 7.5 GPM fixture discharge rate.
The drainage fixture-unit sizing for grease interceptors is included for those that prefer this approach as an alternative to the conventional (volume) sizing.
The following table provides the suggested PDI size grease interceptor based on drainage fixture-unit sizing method.
The following factors may require an increase in the size of the grease interceptor: location, presence of detergents in the waste water, ratio of grease to water, specific gravity weight of the grease filtrates, speed of incoming water flow, presence of large particles mixed with the grease laden water, and percentage of maximum flow capacity.
The interceptor should be installed as close as possible to the source of grease to prevent
pipes draining into the grease interceptor from becoming clogged as grease-laden water cools before entering the grease interceptor.

Grease interceptors are sized according to the rate of incoming flow too, in gallons per minute (GPM). Associated with the incoming flow rate is an interceptor's capacity. The rated capacity, in lbs., is listed at twice the flow rate, in GPM. (Extracted from: PDI: G-101).
General Procedure:
To Determine the Flow Rate of Each Sink:
1. Calculate the capacity of the sink in cubic inches:
_____(LENGTH) x _____(WIDTH) x _____ x (DEPTH) = _____CU. IN.
2. Convert the capacity from cubic inches to gallons per minute (GPM): _____CU.IN ÷ 231 = _____GPM.
3. Adjust for displacement: _____GPM x 0.75 = _____GPM.
4. Result is the flow rate required to drain the sink in one minute.
Note:
In special cases where this data is not accessible (when constructing buildings and complexes), then the DFU norm can be used to calculate the corresponding sizes (Selection from J.R. Smith):

FLOW CONTROL FITTING:
Flow control fittings ensure 90% or more grease retention efficiency of the interceptor.
When consideration isn’t given to the flow rate of the waste water to be handled, the actual flow rate through the interceptor usually exceeds its rated maximum.
With such flow rate, the interceptor would be overloaded. Retention time within the unit would not be sufficient for maximum separation.
The result would be low efficiency, and pollutants left in the waste water would pass through the interceptor, making the installation less than effective.
When the flow is controlled by use of a flow control fitting so that it can never exceed the maximum rating of the interceptor, and the interceptor is cleaned on a regular basis, the maximum pollutant retention efficiency will be achieved and maintained.
All flow control fittings are built with an air intake and should be connected to the vent stack or vent not lower than the flow level of the highest drain serviced or terminated in a return bend at the same elevation outside of the building.
A vented flow control fitting improves the efficiency of the grease interceptor by introducing air into the body of the interceptor.
As the air bubbles rise to the surface, they are coated with grease. This process brings grease to the surface faster, and as a result, increases the efficiency.

Grease Traps
Start using EZ Grease Trap & Drain after grease trap has been pumped.
For initial system startup, pour one gallon directly into the trap to start treatment.
Product should be manually added or automatically metered directly into the trap
or into a drain directly upstream of the trap according to the following maintenance schedule.
VENTING
Grease interceptors must have a vented waste, sized in accordance with code requirements for venting traps to retain water seal and prevent siphoning.
MULTIPLE FIXTURE INSTALLATION
One interceptor to serve multiple fixtures is recommended only where fixtures are located close together. In such installations, each fixture should be individually trapped and back-vented
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
To obtain optimum operating efficiency of a properly sized and installed PDI certified grease interceptor, a regular schedule of maintenance must be adhered to. All PDI certified grease
interceptors are furnished with manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions, which must be followed to ensure efficient satisfactory operation.
CLEANING:
All grease interceptors must be cleaned regularly. The frequency of grease removal is dependent upon the capacity of the interceptor and the quantity of grease in the waste water.
Grease removal intervals may therefore vary from once a week to once in several weeks.
When the grease removal interval has been determined for a specific installation, regular cleaning at that interval is necessary to maintain the rated efficiency of the interceptor.
After the accumulated grease and waste material has been removed, the interceptor should be thoroughly checked to make certain that inlet, outlet and air relief ports are clear of obstructions.
DISPOSITION OF INTERCEPTED MATERIALS:
Grease and other waste matter that has been removed from the interceptor should not be introduced into any drain, sewer, or natural body of water.
This waste matter should be placed in proper containers for disposal.
Where recovery of grease is desired, it can be handled in a manner suitable to the authorities.
