Are FOG’s a Problem for your Wastewater Treatment?

Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) pose significant challenges for wastewater treatment systems in industrial sectors, particularly in remanufacturing and metal finishing. The issue of FOG in wastewater has a growing impact on manufacturing facilities, leading to stricter regulations and operational concerns. Key points include:

  • FOG causes environmental and operational problems, including sewer blockages and equipment damage
  • Manufacturing processes generate FOG from sources such as drawing oils, stamping oils, and buffing compounds

Various methods exist for FOG removal, including traditional approaches like pH adjustment and oil skimming, as well as innovative solutions such as coalescing separators, chemical treatments, and biological solutions. A comprehensive approach to reducing FOG issues in manufacturing operations typically involves a 5-step plan: process review, equipment assessment, testing, process optimization, and implementation of best practices.
