How do you size a solid Interceptor?

How do you size a solid Interceptor?

Zurn solids interceptors should be sized by both expected flow rate and holding capacity. Sizing for the Z1181 solids interceptor should be sized by the number and size of the sinks being served as is the case with the Z1170 grease interceptor.

What is a sediment interceptor?

Sediment interceptors separate heavier-than-water sediments or floating debris from plumbing waste systems to help prevent clogs, standing water, overflows, process difficulties and environmental problems.

How do you size an oil interceptor?

Oil Interceptors are sized according to the rate of incoming flow, in gallons per minute (GPM). For indoor applications, flow rate can be calculated by adding the maximum discharge rates of all poten- tial water sources. For example, a standard 3/4″ hose connection will discharge approx. 10 GPM.

What is a plumbing interceptor?

According to Universal Plumbing Code, “a grease trap/grease interceptor is a plumbing device that is installed in a sanitary drainage system to ‘trap’ or ‘intercept’ non-petroleum FOG from a wastewater discharge.” Wastewater flows from the sink of drain into a tank.

How does a sand oil interceptor work?

Oil/sand interceptors contain one to four compartments (basins) where oil separates and floats to the surface, while sand and grit settle to the bottom sludge baffle. Denser, cleaner water flows through the compartment(s) until it is discharged from the interceptor.

What is a solids interceptor?

Solids interceptors can be used to collect and hold excessive amounts of solids substances found in wastewater. A solids interceptor should be installed in areas, as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), where pretreatment of waste streams is necessary.

What is a sand interceptor?

Sand/oil interceptors are large capacity, underground vaults installed between sewer drains and the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District’s main sewer line. These vaults are designed with baffles and pipes to trap sediments and retain floating oils.

Does a grease interceptor need a vent?

Grease interceptors must have a vented waste, sized in accordance with code requirements for venting traps, to retain a water seal and to prevent siphoning. One interceptor to serve multiple fixtures is recommended only where fixtures are located close together.

What is the purpose of grease interceptor?

A grease trap (also known as grease interceptor, grease recovery device, grease capsule and grease converter) is a plumbing device (a type of trap) designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter a wastewater disposal system.

What kind of interceptors are used in water treatment?

Interceptors Watts hydro-mechanical grease, oil, and commercial sediment interceptors protect downstream piping and wastewater treatment facilities. Our interceptors separate effluents and solids from wastewater at the source, collecting and storing the unwanted substances for later removal. Build Your Spec in Under 5 Minutes

What are the different types of Zurn solids interceptors?

Zurn solids interceptors are specifically designed to captureand retain solid particles for a variety of different drain line applications. Units are. available in Dura-Coated cast iron,bronze,Acid Resistant Coated steel and stainless steel, alongwith a multitude of screens designed for each. application.
