Pennsylvania FOG & Grease Trap Rules

Philadelphia

• Philadelphia pretreatment guidelines require an approved grease interceptor on pot sinks, dishwashing sinks, meat-prep sinks, and most can-washing equipment. Sizing depends on flow; nearby fixtures can share an interceptor.
• The 2025 plan review requires periodic inspection for backups, odors, and high BOD. A reliable pumper must remove grease and oil, and the service agreement must state how often, where, and in what quantities removal occurs.
• Choose a provider that supplies paper records. Exact project requirements are issued through the plumbing-permit and industrial-waste process.
