  • Fats, Oils and Grease (Fog)
    CITY OF TULSA FATS, OILS AND GREASE (FOG) One of the worst things that can happen to a home or business is discovering a sewage overflow due to plumbing problems. More often than not, when those overflows are investigated the cause is clear — fats, oils and grease (FOG) have clogged the pipes and prevented it from performing its duty. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 47 percent of sanitary sewage overflows (SSOs) are caused by FOG. This is unsurprising when you learn that a single restaurant can contribute anywhere from 800 to 17,000 pounds of grease per year to our wastewater treatment plants. How Does FOG Cause Problems? Think of the pipes in our sewer system as the veins leading to the beating heart of the city — our wastewater treatment plant. When FOG is sent down the drain, particles separate from the water and cling to the walls of the pipes. As this continues, buildup occurs until a pipe is so clogged that it may be reduced to a fraction of its normal capacity. This reduction in size can lead to backflow and sewage overflow on your property or your downstream neighbor's property. If one of those areas of buildup hardens like plaque, it has the potential to break off and then cause a “heart attack” as it reaches the center of the system. Proper FOG disposal can prevent this kind of buildup and disruption to Tulsa’s wastewater system. Preventing FOG Buildup in Businesses For food-handling organizations, taking precautions to avoid sending Clean up spills immediately with disposable wipes or an FOG into the sewer system not only saves the city time and money but absorbent (e.g.

  • Grease Interceptors
    Grease Interceptors The Journey Continues Introduction Obe Tejada Sewer Collections Superintendent City of Moab Other People of Note... Colby Means Sewer Service Worker III Marcie Mason Public Works Administrative Assistant We are going to talk about…. - Best Practices, Cleaning, and Retrofitting - Moab’s Grease By the Numbers... - Codes and Documents Related to Grease Regulation - Tests, Inspections, Compliance Letters, and Fines What is a Grease Interceptor/Trap? A grease trap (also known as grease interceptor) is a plumbing device (a type of trap) designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system. ... These reduce the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOGs) that enter sewers. How do they work? As the wastewater cools, the fat, oil, and grease (FOG) harden and the food solids settle. The FOG, being lighter than water, floats to the top of the grease trap. ... The FOG fills the grease trap from top down, displacing the wastewater from the middle of the grease trap and into the sanitary sewer or septic system. Grease Interceptor VS Mechanical Grease Trap Mechanical Grease Trap: ● Smaller, usually located under a sink or in a crawl space ● Easier and cheaper to install ● Need to be cleaned a lot more often (every few days to daily) Grease Interceptor: ● Large, (350 gal.+) usually located outside ● More expensive to install ● Need to be cleaned less often (every month to 6 months) Mechanical Grease Traps Grease Interceptors Best Practices The less you put in the less you take out... 1.

The Sanitary District hereby adopts and incorporates herein the NEW Water (formerly Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District) Sewer Use Ordinance, dated October 20, 2016, and may be amended from time to time. In case of a direct conflict between this chapter and the NEW Water sewer use ordinance, the terms and conditions of the NEW Water sewer use ordinance shall prevail. c. The objectives of this chapter are to: 1. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Sanitary District wastewater system which will interfere with the normal operations of the system; 2. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the wastewater system which do not receive adequate treatment at NEW Water, and which will pass through the system into receiving waters or the atmosphere or otherwise be incompatible with the system. d. Pursuant to Wis.

If this waste is not managed properly, it can cause major environmental problems. Some of the FOG waste generated by these businesses is in solid form and can be properly disposed of in the trash. However, liquid waste containing FOG when improperly discharged to the municipal sewer system will build up inside sewer lines and cause wastewater overflows to occur inside the restaurant or elsewhere in the sewer system. This can cause a major disruption in the operation of a business, be a significant public health hazard, and be very expensive to clean- up. If your business generates greasy wastewater, you can reduce the likelihood of a sewer back- up by adopting good housekeeping practices and minimizing the amount of FOG waste that go down your drains by installing and properly maintaining a grease removal system.

  • Grease Traps 101
    GREASE TRAPS 101 Environmental Grease traps operate on very simple principles... Fats, oils and grease (FOG) are lighter than water and as a result, float. The grease trap has a low inlet pipe and a baffle (barrier) to slow the velocity of the water coming in. This gives time for the solids to settle and the FOG to float. Air pressure forces water to discharge from the outlet pipe near the bottom of the trap. Since the FOG is floating on the top, only a minimal amount of FOG is discharged with the water. Grease traps must be maintained on a regular basis... In order to prevent FOG from entering sewer lines and causing backups, grease traps must be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis. Grease traps in active use should be cleaned at least once every three months or when the accumulation FOG and settled solids reaches 25% of the grease interceptor’s overall liquid depth - whichever occurs first. Sewer backups caused by grease chokes can be costly... The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans holds business owners liable for ALL costs associated with the removal of FOG from the sewer system, including damage to adjoining personal property, parking lots, streets, and sewer system repair. Call S&WB, Environmental Affairs at (504) 942-3856 for more information or visit http://www.swbno.org/environmental.asp Understanding Grease Removal and the 25% Rule Per Section16.5 of the Plumbing Code, all food service establishments must have grease removal devices maintained by a Sewerage & Water Board permitted transporter when they reach 25% of the design capacity OR a minimum of quarterly.
