Advantages
Fats, oil and grease, also called FOG in
the wastewater business can have
negative impacts on wastewater
collection and treatment systems. Most
wastewater collection system blockages
can be traced to FOG. Blockages in the
wastewater collection system are
serious, causing sewage spills, manhole
overflows, or sewage back-ups in homes
and businesses. With the increase in
fast food restaurants, many
municipalities are having problems with
an increase in grease build-up in their
lift stations. Fats, oils and grease
represent 10% of the organic substances
found in wastewater. The term grease
includes fats, oils, waxes and other
similarly related compounds.
All kinds of oils found in wastewater
will usually float on the water surface
and can coat the walls of structures and
pipes. The lack of organic decomposition
consequently creates maintenance
problems. The presence of grease can
also interfere with the biological life
in the surface wastewater. Grease
contents will vary with every system;
however, it is best to treat the problem
prior to treatment.
