2. In the determination of oil and grease, an absolute quantity of a specific
substance is not measured. Rather, groups of substances with similar
physical characteristics are determined quantitatively on the basis of their
common solubility in an organic extracting solvent.
‘‘Oil and grease’’ is defined as any material recovered as a substance
soluble in the solvent. It includes other material extracted by the solvent
from an acidified sample (such as sulfur compounds, certain organic dyes,
and chlorophyll) and not volatilized during the test.
Certain constituents measured by the oil and grease analysis may
influence wastewater treatment systems. If present in excessive amounts,
they may interfere with aerobic and anaerobic biological processes and lead
to decreased wastewater treatment efficiency. When discharged in
wastewater or treated effluents, they may cause surface films and shoreline
deposits leading to environmental degradation.
A knowledge of the quantity of oil and grease present is helpful in proper
design and operation of wastewater treatment systems and also may call
attention to certain treatment difficulties. In the absence of specially
modified industrial products, oil and grease is composed primarily of fatty
matter from animal and vegetable sources and from hydrocarbons of
petroleum origin.
5520 OIL AND GREASE
3. PRINCIPLE
Dissolved or emulsified oil and grease is extracted from water by
intimate contact with an extracting solvent.
Some extractables, especially unsaturated fats and fatty acids,
oxidize readily; hence, special precautions regarding temperature
and solvent vapor displacement are included to minimize this effect.
Organic solvents shaken with some samples may form an emulsion
that is very difficult to break.
This method includes a means for handling such emulsions.
Recovery of solvents is discussed.
Solvent recovery can reduce both vapor emissions to the
atmosphere and costs.

5. SAMPLING AND HANDLING OF SAMPLES
1-L glass bottled samples are brought to the lab that was sealed
with foil and a cap with 5mL of 1+1 HCl to bring pH t0 2.
Samples should be @ 4◦C stored in a chiller for not more than 7
days prior to date received.
Bring samples to room temp before analysis.

12. Sample Analysis
Mark the
glass
bottle to
determine
volume
and
transfer
the liquid
sample in
a 2 L
separatory
funnel
Rinse the
sample
bottle with
30mL of
petroleum
ether then
transfer
solvent
washing
to the
separatory
funnel
Shake
vigorously
for 2 mins
then let
the layer
separate.
Drain the
aqueous
layer to
the sample
bottle and
transfer
organic
layer to
the flask
Repeat
extraction
twice for
each
sample
then
transfer
the flask to
the stem
bath at
70◦C
If emulsion occurs, add small amount of 2-propanol then shake
until organic layer is visible

13. PROCEDURE
1. Preparation of 125mL Erlenmeyer flask (constantly weighed)
2. 10.0g anhy. Na2SO4 for every sample (oven-dried @ 200◦C for
24hr)
3. 1.00xxg of Soybean oil added with 5mL 2-propanol and 5ml 1+1
HCl (QC sample)

14. CALCULATION
mg oil & grease/L = Wf - Wi x 1000
Vs
Where:
Wf = total weight of flask and residue, minus the weight of flask, mg
Vs = initial sample volume, L
