Can someone please tell if there is any reason why I can’t mix dryer and kitchen exhaust in a residential high rise as long as I have a grease interceptor?

If I can’t please tell me what code or standard you’re getting this info from.

Thanks in advances

Sincerely

Dryer vent must be separate from kitchen exhaust per International Mechanical Code & National Fire Prevenion Association Standards.

Id dryer vent exceed 25 ft of equivalent length duct run, in line dryer vent booster fan is required. Google this out.
 
Regardless of code, mixing lint filled air with grease-laden air seems like a receipe for disaster.

Think of the flammable crud accumulating in the ducts...
