The 25% rule limits grease interceptors to 25% combined grease and solids capacity. Modern hydromechanical interceptors (HGIs) hold up to 75% grease, reducing water waste and costs. HGIs outperform outdated systems, highlighting the need for updated standards.

Grease interceptors play a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of food service establishments.

Hydromechanical grease interceptors (HGI) traditionally utilize flow control devices to restrict the incoming flow to the flow rate to which the grease interceptor is certified. Even so, flow control devices haven’t always been used the way they are today.

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has implemented weight restrictions governing manhole covers within the United States.

Deciding which cover type to use with your grease interceptor can be a confusing task. However, a few simple installation rules-of-thumb may help clear things up.

The new GB-1500 from Schier is the industry's first and only performance-certified 1,500-gallon grease interceptor, offering best-in-class grease capacity achieved by Schier Flow Technology™.

The GB-50 has been recertified to include a 75 GPM rating in addition to its existing 50 GPM rating. Read about how this product enhancement reinforces our commitment to right sizing.

Schier's enhanced specification suite and document “Spec Selector” tool helps grease interceptor specifiers find the exact documents for their plans with just a few clicks.

Schier's new website boasts deeper product education, easier access to engineering documentation and a world-class shopping and ecommerce experience.

Below-grade grease interceptor installation offers flexibility for food service establishments (FSEs) with space constraints, especially where larger units are required.

The Schier Pumpout Port Kit is a versatile accessory for our grease interceptors that converts an unused outlet into a pumpout port.

There are many elements to consider when designing a food-service establishment. Figuring out which grease interceptor to use is one small part of the overall project, but is important and can often be complex. Grease Monkey™ is a free tool that helps make the task of grease interceptor sizing easy.
