GREASE INTERCEPTOR CALCULATIONS Quote: E791FXA5

Reference No. 79158 Project Name: Guilford CT Playa


Step 1: Flow rate to grease interceptor
Fixture flow rate: (cu in / 231) = gal x 0.75 / 2 min = 2 min flow rate
NAME TYPE DIMENSIONS QTY CU IN FLOW RATE
3 Compartment Sink 3 Compartment Sink 21" x 21" x 14" (3) 1 18,522 30.07 GPM
Floor Sink Floor Sink N/A 2 N/A 0 GPM
Mop Basin Mop Basin 24" x 24" x 10" 1 5,760 9.35 GPM
Prep Sink One Bowl Prep Sink One Bowl 21" x 21" x 14" 1 6,174 10.02 GPM

Total 49.44 GPM


Step 2: Grease Production
Total square feet x 60% = Dining area
Dining area / 14 Sq ft per seat x 4 turns per seat per day x [Grease Production Value] x [Days between
pump-out] = Grease output
Amount of square feet in facility: 965
Grease production value: 0.005 lbs per serving (Ice Cream / Yogurt / Smoothies: Low / No flatware)
Days between pump-outs: 90 days
(965 x .6) / 14 x 4 x 0.005 x 90 = 74.443 lbs of FOG
