b'LT ENGINEERINGCATALOG SYSTEM COMPONENTS DESIGN CONSIDERATIONSThe ParkUSA Solids Interceptor presents the mainOne of the most important features for the successful components described below: operation of the solids interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is Stainless-Steel Screen Filter: the unit presents a stainless- only as good as its maintenance program. For this reason, steel screen filter whose design varies by product model.most plumbing codes require the interceptor be installed For the STSC configuration, the filter is a basket deviceand located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, located at the outlet. And for the SSB variation, the screencleaning and removal of collected waste products. There filter occupies the whole sectional area of the unit, beingshould be an adequate number of manholes to permit in a table design and the flow going downward. access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. A manhole should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manhole Sensors: Indicate water level inside unit. should not be less than 20 inches in size. All manholes should extend to grade. The interceptor should be located Control Panel: The Control System consists of a panel thatnear the source of the wastewater for the protection of the receives signal from the high-level sensor, it is programedpiping system. Inlet and outlet piping shall be a minimum for easy use for the end-user. of 3 inches or the size of the building sewer, whichever isWastewater Systemsgreater. Most jurisdictions require a sampling well on the Containments Vault: The shell of the unit can bedischarge side of the interceptor so that an inspector can constructed from Precast Concrete, Polyethylene,verify proper treatment or maintenance.Fiberglass, or Steel. Model names and configurations vary by material. MAINTENANCEThe frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary OPERATION depending on use. Solids Interceptors should be cleanedThe purpose of the Solids Interceptor is to receive the(or pumped out) routinely to prevent the escape of wastewater and retain it for a sufficient amount of time,appreciable quantities of solids. Solids should be removed which allows for separation of the solids from the water. before accumulations effectively reduce storage capacity The interceptor is divided into several compartments. and detention time of the interceptor. A professional During retention, heavy solids will sink to the bottom whilepumping company familiar with regulations regarding lighter solids rise to top.
