Passive grease interceptors help food service establishments and food processing industries comply with EPA Sewer Pretreatment Regulations. PGIs are designed to remove large quantities of sewer-clogging fats, oils, and grease before it’s discharged into a municipal wastewater treatment system. Designed to accept gravity flow, PGIs retain wastewater long enough to allow liquefied grease to cool,separate, and congeal.
