Field Characterization of External Grease Abatement Devices
This study characterized some of the physical and chemical features of large outside field grease abatement devices (GADs). 24‐hour measurements of several food service establishments' (FSEs') influent GAD flowrates indicated highly intermittent conditions with hydraulic retention times (HRTs) that exceeded the common recommendation (30 minutes) by two to five times. Investigation into the chemical characteristics of GADs indicated highly variable influent and effluent fat, oil, and grease (FOG) concentrations. Low pH and dissolved oxygen values were measured throughout the GAD, indicating the likely occurrence of anaerobic microbial processes. Detailed spatial and temporal observations of the accumulation of FOG and food solids were also discussed. Though the FOG layer remained relatively constant for all GAD configurations investigated, results indicated that commonly‐used GAD configurations with a straight submerged inlet tee or no‐inlet tee configuration may result in the transport of food solids into the second compartment. The present research showed increased accumulation of food solids in the first compartment with a retro‐fit flow distributive inlet. This retro‐fit displays promise for potentially improving the separation characteristics of existing GADs.
