This is the very reason that I argue that all fixtures should be routed to an interceptor - that necessarily eliminates an under counter sized device - and it ensures that the FSE cannot bypass the grease interceptor with FOG discharges directly to the collection system. And YES chemically emulsified grease is more likely to pass through a grease interceptor - it's the nature of the chemical bond and the reduced surface tension of both the oil and water affected.Ken Louckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837759597980262554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993434598945816878.post-11780588851983229052015-04-07T18:12:19.290-07:002015-04-07T18:12:19.290-07:00Am I missing something here, I am studying this an...Am I missing something here, I am studying this and think I must be missing the point somewhere. Brown Grease Study 2011. Portland Oregon indicates influent strength 10000 mg/L FOG not exceptional. Flow of 75 litres a minute over the peak period of 4 hours equates to 18000 litres of wastewater. This would then require the HGI to retain 162 kilograms of FOG. Seems a lot of capacity for an under bench trap?? Wouldn't chemically emulsified grease pass through a HGI anyway??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195297579350026245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993434598945816878.post-46512383275226777472014-05-27T00:58:20.891-07:002014-05-27T00:58:20.891-07:00Hi, Ken
Really nice post,

But after reading this article my thoughts regarding GGI and HGI got cleared.<br /><br />Thank you so muchGuma Techhttp://gumatech.comnoreply@blogger.com
