Foreword
This document EN 1825-2:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 165 "Wastewater
engineering", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by August 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
June 2004.
When pollution control requires the treatment of pollutants other than light liquids, additional measures might be
necessary.
It is the second part of a two part standard for grease separators. Part 1 gives principles of design, performance
and testing, marking and quality control of grease separators.
Annex A is normative. The annexes B, C and D are informative.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This European Standard provides guidance on the selection of nominal sizes, installation, operation and mainten-
ance of grease separators manufactured in accordance with prEN 1825-1.
This standard does not apply to wastewater containing light liquids, e.g. grease or oils of mineral origin, and does
not include treating stable emulsions of grease or oil in water.
The standard does not cover the use of biological additives (bacteria, enzymes).
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European

EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
3.1
selection of the nominal size
determination of the appropriate nominal size of the grease separation chamber for a specific case, based on
amount and type of influent
4 Application
Grease separators shall be used wherever it is necessary to separate greases and oils of vegetable and animal
origin from wastewater, such as in trade or industrial plants/establishments, e.g.
commercial kitchens and large catering establishments, e.g. in inns, hotels, motorways service stations,
canteens;
grilling, roasting and frying facilities;
food distribution points (with returnable crockery);
butcher's shops, with or without slaughtering facilities;
meat and sausage factories, with or without slaughtering facilities;
abattoirs;
poultry slaughterers;
tripe preparation plants;
animal rendering plants;
bone and glue boiling plants;
soap and stearine factories;
oil mills;
vegetable oil refineries;
margarine factories;
pickling plants;
fast-food preparation plants;
chip and crisp producers;
peanut roasting plants.
Wastewater containing a considerable proportion of grease in a non-separable form (i.e. emulsified) from
applications such as dairy, cheese making and fish processing, or from distribution points having only dish washing
facilities, or from "wet waste compactors", will only be effectively treated in grease separators under certain
conditions. The wastewater may require further treatment.
Applications where the discharged wastewater contains solids that are quick to purify (e.g. the fish industry) do not
require a sludge trap, but the grease separator shall be fitted with a strainer or screening device fitted on the inlet
side to retain coarse solids. Any retained solids should be removed and the separator thoroughly flushed with clean
water before operational intervals to prevent putrefaction.

EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
5 Nominal size
For the preferred nominal sizes (NS) see clause 4 of prEN 1825-1:2000.
Multiple separators of the same nominal size may be connected in parallel with the flow split equally between each
separator.
6 Selection of the nominal size
6.1 General
The selection of the nominal sizes shall be based on the nature and quantity of wastewater to be treated taking into
account:
maximum flow rate of wastewater;
maximum temperature of the wastewater;
density of grease/oils to be separated;
influence of cleansing and rinsing agents.
If a grease storage capacity greater than 40 NS in litres is required, e.g. when more than the usual amount of
grease is expected, the following options may be used:
1) using a larger nominal size separator than calculated or
2) creating grease storage capacity outside the separator or
3) emptying the separator more frequently than usually.
Where no specific sizing method is offered by a regulatory authority, then the nominal size of the separator shall be
determined from the following formula:
NS Qsft fdfr (1)

where
NS is the calculated nominal size of the separator;
Qs is the maximum flow rate of wastewater, entering the separator in litres per second;
ft is the impedient factor for the temperature of influent;
fd is the density factor for the relevant grease/oil;
fr is the impedient factor for the influence of cleansing and rinsing agents.
After calculation select the next higher preferred nominal size in accordance with clause 4 of prEN 1825-1:2000.
6.2 Determination of the specific values
6.2.1 Maximum flow rate of wastewater
The maximum flow rate of wastewater Qs shall be determined by:

5
EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
a) measurement, or
b) calculation based upon catering equipment discharging into the grease separator, or
c) calculation based upon the type of establishment discharging into the grease separator, or
d) special calculation for individual cases, if acceptable by the regulatory authority.
Where data is available to determine Qs by b) or c), and the designer is unsure of the most appropriate option of
use, it is recommended that the higher of the flow rates determined from both calculations is used.
6.2.2 Temperature factor ft
High wastewater temperature reduces the efficiency of grease separators. Temperature factors ft are given in
Table 1.
Table 1 Temperature factor ft
Temperature of wastewater at inlet Temperature factor ft

C
1,0
always or occasionally > 60 1,3
6.2.3 Density factor fd
A density factor fd = 1,0 shall be used for wastewater discharged from kitchens, abattoirs and meat and fish
processing plants.
When the nature of grease/oil is well known, the density coefficient may be taken from Figure 1, where fd is plotted
for a range of different grease and oil densities.
For grease/oil densities > 0,94 g/cm3, a density factor of 1,5 shall be used.
Densities of different fats and oils are given in annex B.

EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
Figure 1 Relation between fd and density
6.2.4 Detergent and rinsing agent factor fr
Detergents, including dishwasher powders and rinsing agents, should carefully be selected and used sparingly.
They shall not impair the separating effect as far as possible and not form stable emulsions where they are used
upstream of a separator. A detergent and rinsing agent coefficient shall be chosen from Table 2.
Table 2 Detergent and rinsing agent coefficient fr
Use of detergent and rinsing agents Detergent and rinsing agent coefficient fr
Never used 1,0
Occasionally or always used 1,3
Special cases, e.g. hospitals
National and local regulations may limit the use of certain detergents, rinsing agents and solvents.
6.3 Special cases
For industrial plants such as abattoirs and wholesale butchers, the grease separator nominal size NS should be
selected on the basis of site specific investigation.
6.4 Determination of sludge trap volume
The sludge trap volume shall be at least 100 NS in litres but for abattoirs and similar plants a volume of at least
200 NS in litres is recommended.
7
EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
7 Installation
7.1 Limitations
Only wastewater containing organic grease and oils shall be discharged to a grease separator. In particular, the
following shall not be discharged to a grease separator:
wastewater containing faeces ("black" water);
rainwater;
wastewater containing light liquids, e.g. grease or oil of mineral origin.
7.2 Place of installation
Grease separators should be installed close to the sources of wastewater but should not be sited in unventilated
rooms, roads, car parks or storage areas. To prevent odour and fly nuisance, separators should not be sited close
to habitable buildings, especially to opening windows and air intakes. They shall be easily accessible to cleaning
vehicles. Specific operational and structural conditions may require the separator to be remotely located from the
source of wastewater.
Separators should be installed in such a way to prevent frost damage, and allow all parts requiring regular
maintenance to be easily accessible at all times.
Where necessary, manhole covers on separators shall be supported so that the load imposed on the separator
does not exceed its design strength.
7.3 Drainage to and from the separator
Where no specific local regulations exist, grease separators shall be connected to the drains and sewers as
follows:
The wastewater to the grease separator shall be gravity fed. If the static water level in the grease separator is lower
than the flood level (see EN 752-1), then the effluent from the separator shall be discharged to the drainage system
using a wastewater lifting plant.
Pipelines upstream of the separator shall be laid at a minimum gradient of 2 % (1 : 50) to prevent an accumulation
of grease. Where for structural and/or operational reasons, this is not possible, and/or longer pipe runs are
required, appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent grease accumulation or deposition (see annex D).
The transition from vertical to horizontal pipes shall be made by using two 45 bends between which a piece of
pipe, at least 250 mm long, shall be placed, or by using equivalent long-radius bend. This shall be followed by a
stilling section that has a length, in millimetres, equal to at least 10 times the nominal size of the supply pipe and
shall be placed upstream of the separator.
Local regulations may limit the temperature of wastewater at the point of connection to the public sewerage system.
Discharge points, e.g. floor drains, shall have traps, which, where necessary, include sediment buckets which can
be removed for cleaning purposes.
The use of sludge traps with an inlet from above, e.g. through a grating, is not permitted.
7.4 Ventilation
Pipelines connected to grease separators (upstream and downstream) shall be adequately ventilated. The
discharge pipe to the separator shall be provided with a stack vent and branch ventilating pipes shall be connected
to all upstream branch pipes more than 5 m long.
8
EN 1825-2:2002 (E)
Where the nearest vent is further than 10 m upstream of the grease separator, the supply pipe shall be fitted with
an additional vent pipe, terminating as close as possible to the separator.
8 Operation, inspection and maintenance

Grease separators should be inspected, emptied and cleaned regularly. Attention is drawn to the need to comply
with national or local regulations for the disposal of waste.
The frequency of inspection, emptying and cleaning should be determined with regard to the grease and sludge
storage capacity of the separator and in accordance with operational experience. Unless otherwise specified,
separators should be emptied, cleaned and refilled with clean water at least once a month and, preferably, every
two weeks.

Annex D
(informative)
Measures to prevent grease accumulating and grease build-up in the

pipelines upstream of the grease separator
The aim of every project should be to plan and position the system in such a way that supplementary measures to
prevent grease accumulating and grease build-up in the pipelines upstream of the grease separator shall not be
required.
For structural and/or operational reasons, e.g. where longer pipe runs are required for low ambient temperatures,
supplementary measures can be required, e.g. thermal insulation of pipes, or trace heating with thermal insulation.
Pipes led through cool cellars can require thermal insulation.
Pipes led through areas of buildings prone to frost, e.g. underground garages, can require trace heating
with thermal insulation.
The temperature of trace heating should be thermostatically controlled (between 25 C and 40 C) to allow
for seasonal changes.
Trace heating is only useful during times that grease contaminated wastewater is flowing, therefore, a
time-clock is recommended.
Pipes in heated rooms, pipes buried beneath buildings and frost-proof installed pipes installed outside buildings do
not require supplementary measures, provided they have been installed in accordance with 7.3 and 7.4.
