Gravity Grease Interceptors

There are two main types of grease interceptors: 1) Hydromechanical grease interceptors (HGIs), which are compact, prefabricated steel units located indoors that use hydraulic flow, baffling, and differences in density to separate fats, oils, and grease. HGIs must comply with standard PDI G101. 2) Gravity grease interceptors (GGIs), which are large, concrete units located outside that rely on gravity and retention time to separate grease before the waste enters municipal systems. GGIs must be designed and constructed to standard IAPMO/ANSI Z1001.

Grease Interceptor :

Type :
1. HGI (Hydromechanical Grease Interceptor) : Grease Trap
These are prefabricated steel manufactured units, predominately located indoors at a
centralized location in proximity to the fixtures served or at the discharging fixture point
of use. They are relatively compact in size and utilize hydraulic flow action, internal
baffling, air entrainment, and a difference in specific gravity between water and FOG
(fats, oils, and grease) for the separation and retention of FOG from the fixture waste
stream. The standard governing the installation, testing, and maintenance of HGIs is PDI
G101: Testing an Rating Procedure for Hydro Mechanical Grease Interceptors.

2. GGI (Gravity Grease Interceptor)


These are engineered, prefabricated, or field-formed concrete constructed units that
typically are located outside due to their large size and receive FOG discharge waste from
all required fixtures within a given facility. These units essentially utilize gravity flow and
retention time as the primary means of separating FOG from the facility waste stream
prior to it entering the municipal drainage system. The standard for the design and
construction of gravity grease interceptors is IAPMO/ANSI Z1001: Prefabricated
Gravity Grease Interceptors.
