LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate key design differences between gravity and hydromechanical interceptors to 
    optimize performance and application fit.

    • Apply current sizing methodologies and code requirements to ensure compliant and accurate 
    interceptor selection.

    • Assess how interceptor design supports environmental protection & regulatory compliance, 
    supporting broader project sustainability goals.

    • Analyze how design, materials, and installation considerations impact long-term performance 
    and lifecycle costs.
