Grease Trap Questions

[Badger]

Planning a 5,000 sq. ft. brewpub in a new strip mall currently under construction. A common grease trap has been installed for the entire development. Based on discussions with the landlord, have the following questions:

1. Do the trench drains for the brewery and cold cellar need to be routed through the grease trap or directly to the sanitary sewer?

2. Based on a standard kitchen layout (which must go to the grease trap) and a 7 to 10 BBL brewery, can anyone estimate how much capacity I will require for the grease trap (i.e., flow in gpm, grease capacity in lbs. and inlet and outlet pipe sizes in in.)?

Thanks for your responses.

With each state there is a different code book to follow. I can tell you in Idaho we will not be required to route our trench drain, nor our cooler train into our grease trap.


We are going to be a Bratwurst and Sushi joint. Boiling up the brats are going to be our biggest grease maker. Not the biggest grease op. so we are leaning towards 4 gpm per minute.
