9、 Engineers for the development of this Standard. This Standard includes criteriafor testing and rating of grease interceptors; general requirements for these appurtenances; andan appendix of valuable sizing, installation, and maintenance data.The Plumbing and Drainage Institute has a membership of o

10、rganizations that manufactureproducts for the plumbing industry. The basic aim of PDI is to contribute its combinedtalents and resources to the advancement of plumbing engineering and the plumbing industry.This Standard was developed with the assistance of the Plumbing and Drainage Institute.For mor

11、e than a century, grease interceptors have been used in plumbing wastewatersystems to permit free flow of drainage from sinks and similar equipment and to preventgrease accumulations from clogging connecting piping and sewer lines. In 1883, one NathanielT. Whiting of California applied for a patent

12、on a grease trap, which was issued in October1884. Whitings design principle does not differ greatly from present-day grease interceptors.For the next 50 years, there was no coordinated effort to standardize ratings or toestablish performance requirements for grease interceptors. Ratings were determ

13、ined by eachmanufacturer for its interceptors, which were produced in a variety of sizes and types inan effort to meet engineers specifications and satisfy code requirements.In late 1940 and early 1941, prior to the United States entry into World War II, greaseinterceptors were specified for Army po

14、sts to meet specifications of the Construction Division,Office of the Quartermaster General. These specifications called for interceptors, whichproved inadequate; it immediately became apparent that a comprehensive engineering andtesting program was needed to properly rate grease interceptors. Apart

15、 from prevention ofsewage systems clogging, properly rated and sized grease interceptors were essential to therecovery of oils and grease so badly needed for the war effort. As a result, a series ofconferences involving the Research Committee of the Plumbing and Drainage ManufacturersAssociation (no

16、w Plumbing and Drainage Institute), representatives of the QuartermasterGeneral, Surgeon General, Army Corps of Engineers, and others was held to develop atesting program to establish flow rates and grease holding capacity for uniform rating ofgrease interceptors manufactured at that time.The progra

17、m that emerged from these conferences included exhaustive laboratory testingof each grease interceptor at the Iowa Institute of HydrauIic Research at Iowa StateUniversity. This phase of the program was covered in a comprehensive report issued inAugust 1945. Using the guidelines established in Iowa,

18、the Research Committee continuedthe testing program at the United States Testing Company, Inc., which culminated in thepublication of Standard PDI-G101 in 1949 and the rating of applicable grease interceptors.Since its initial publication, Standard PDI-G101 has been widely accepted and is referenced

19、in most plumbing codes. It has been reprinted in its original format many times.The Plumbing and Drainage Institute currently maintains a grease interceptor testing,rating, and certification facility.The scope of this Standard is limited to units of 100 gallons per minute (gpm) or lessin rated capac

20、ity. Units over the 100 gpm value shall be engineered for the demand ratedflows of the jobsite requirements and specifications.iiiThe Committee recognizes that a number of sewage treatment communities and otherjurisdictions have established various maximum limits of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) int

21、he waste stream. The most common of these is 100 mg/L or 100 ppm. The Committeedecided that until a specific maximum limit is universally accepted, no number should beincluded in the Standard. The inclusion of a maximum limit will be reconsidered foradoption in a future edition of this Standard.Sugg
