Grease Interceptor Sizing

Right Sizing

Many plumbing codes focus on either flow rate or liquid volume to size a grease interceptor, which can lead to undersizing or oversizing. Schier considers both flow rate and grease production to determine the capacity of the interceptor and its recommended pumpout frequency.

A correctly sized grease interceptor reduces maintenance costs for restaurants as well as the chance of a messy and costly clog/backup. Right sizing is critical in choosing the correct grease interceptor, and we’ve got it down to a science. It’s called Grease Production Sizing Method (GPSM).

GREASE PRODUCTION SIZING METHOD
(GPSM)

Introduced by Schier in 2012, GPSM calculates how much grease a restaurant is likely to produce to ensure the grease interceptor has enough capacity to allow for a realistic and affordable pumpout frequency.

GPSM has been used to size more than 100,000 restaurant grease interceptors, adopted by several municipalities, published in the 2016 edition of the ASPE Plumbing Engineering Design Handbook and now powers our Grease Monkey® sizing app.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
