Section 2: Introduction

Why do I need a Grease Shield? FOGs cause major problems to privately & publicly owned drains and sewerage systems. FOGs are generated from practices carried out in FSEs and are usually disposed of down kitchen sinks or drains and can lead to the following problems:

• Reduced or blocked pipes leading to back flooding of premises and even pollution of natural watercourses.

• Malodours, unsanitary conditions and even closure of FSEs.

• Non Compliance with national/local authority’s discharge requirements & regulations.

• FOGs are extremely difficult for private & publicly owned Sewage Treatment Plants to treat and can lead to failure or unexpected and increased maintenance costs.

• FOGs can effect level instrumentation & pumps within pumping stations leading to operational failure and possible overflows.

• Loss of a potentially reusable resource when it enters the waste stream.

All of the problems are unnecessary because separating FOGs from waste water is easily accomplished by selecting, installing, operating & maintaining a Grease Shield correctly.

Grease Shield System Overview

• Effluent from Grease Producing appliances / Sinks enters the inlet/s of the Grease Shield.

• Food Solids get retained inside a hopper and get dewatered and removed to an external solids cartridge via an inclined auger.

• A number of co-operating Baffles and a Sudden Reverse Direction in the flow assist in retaining FOGs and helps to counteract emulsified contaminants.

• FOGs are removed by an Oleophilic (attracts oil) rotating drum.

• When the FOGs Container is attached to the Grease Shield, a rubber blade makes contact with the internal roller and allows the FOGs to be removed externally for recycling and safe disposal.

• The Grease Shield goes through automated recirculation feature to agitate and clean the tank followed by cleaning cycles to remove fine sedimentation and takes in water to back wash internal filters and prevent fouls smells.

• The Grease Shield has an anti flood pump that activates if the water level within the unit rises too high.

• All functions within the Grease Shield are controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC).

• Treated effluent then flows under the outlet baffle and out to drain.

• Please refer to EPAS YouTube channel for further details: www.youtube.com/user/EPASLtd

• Provide access for a FlexiPlumb Grease Shield Sampling Point.

Issue no: 1 Page: 10 of 28 Date: 09th May 2011 Authorised by: PON

• The Grease Shield is not intended for use outside of FSEs and may require sufficient external housing to protect it from the elements.

Electrical • An IP56 Socket with an operating Voltage of 230 Volts AC 13 Amp Plug is required to connect the

Grease Shield electrical plug into.

Hot Water • A ¾"BSP connection complete with isolation from a hot water supply to be located within 1 metre

of the Grease Shield location. The water pressure should not exceed 145 psi / 10 Bar and be not less than 4 psi/ 0.28 Bar.

Dimensions & Operational Requirements

• Please refer to Appendix 1: Dimensions, Installation & Service Requirements for the GS AST 1850.

Inlet Pipe work

• The Installer shall be responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the inlet pipe work. The Grease Shield is provided with FlexiPlumb EPDM hub-less couplings to allow various materials with different wall thickness to be connected to the inlet/s and outlet pipe work.

Outlet Pipe work

• The Installer shall be responsible for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the outlet pipe work. The Grease Shield is provided with FlexiPlumb EPDM hub-less couplings to allow various materials with different wall thickness to be connected to the inlet/s and outlet pipe work. N.B. A drain size of >50mm/2” is required to accept the 50mm/2” outlet piping of the Grease Shield.

Sizing & Selection of Grease Shield:

• Before purchasing & installing a Grease Shield a calculation is required to ensure correct sizing & selection for a trouble free installation.

• The sizing calculation should be to determine the maximum or peak flow rate to be discharged through the Grease Shield and by reference to PDI G-101, ASME A112_14_3_2000 or CSA B481 Standards (Please refer to Appendix 2: Grease Shield Sizing & Selection calculation).

• The peak flow rate is determined by calculating the maximum amount of wastewater that can be discharged per minute or second through the Grease Shield. Peak flow rate shall be used as the basis for determining the minimum size of Grease Shield that is required. Peak flow rate shall be determined by:

o Actual drainage load from fixtures using the total discharge volume, which is based on the size, number of fixtures and expected drain down time into the Grease Shield.

o Determining the Max flow possible through the diameter of Inlet Piping into the Grease Shield.

o Appliance Manufacturer’s literature shall be consulted for the peak discharge rate.

Issue no: 1 Page: 11 of 28 Date: 09th May 2011 Authorised by: PON

• Choosing a Grease Shield with a flow rating larger than the expected peak flow rate will improve removal efficiency. GreaseShields that are rated for less than the expected peak flow rate should not be selected.
