    Fats, Oils and Grease Program Application
  • Appendix A: Grease Interceptor Sizing and Selection Worksheet

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
  • REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

    Include the following documentation with this worksheet: kitchen plans, equipment schedule, menu, completed calculations for flow rate and grease capacity, HGI specifications sheet, and certified test report for grease capacity validation. 

  • 1.*
  • 2. Are there indirectly connected fixtures routed to the interior HGI? (An indirect connection means a pipe that does not connect directly with the drainage system but conveys liquid wastes by discharging into a plumbing fixture, interceptor, or receptacle which is directly connected to the drainage system such as floor drain for floor sink.)*
  • Note: for interior installations, if the answer to question 2 is YES, use a one-minute drainage period, otherwise use a two-minute drainage period. For exterior installations, use a two- minute drainage period. 

  • Step 1: Calculate Flow Rate

  • (1) Total Fixture Volume: Flow Rate GPM (one or two-minute): OR

  • (2) Pipe Diameter (Table 2): Flow Rate GPM (one or two-minute):

  • Step 2: Calculate Grease Capacity

  • (1) Grease Factor (Table 3) * (2) Average meals per day=*

  • Grease Storage Capacity Calculation 

  • **Prior written approval by the Utility is required for a pump-out schedule of less than 90 days. 

     

    Multiply grease factor (1) by average meals per day (2) = Daily Loading. Next, multiply the daily loading by the number of each 30, 60, and 90 days.

  • (4) Is the material of construction compatible with a pH of 3?*
  • (6) Flow Rate (GPM)* Validated grease capacity*(lbs) *

  • * Grease capacity must be validated by a certified test report complete with incremental test data. 

    Please submit the completed Grease Control Device Sizing and Selection Worksheet to the Utility for approval along with all required documentation. Once approved, no substitutions shall be allowed without prior written approval from the Utility.
