I am looking for typical sizing criteria for Sand and Oil Interceptors.

I know that the Interceptor Size is typically calculated using the following formula:
Retention Time * Waste Flow Rate = Interceptor Size

But what are typical values for Retention Time and Waste Flow Rates for various size Interceptors and Buildings?
 
whwere are you applying this criteria?
 
A Commercial Iron Working Building....not too large....approximately 7500 square feet..
