Fats, Oils & Grease Control

When FOG is improperly disposed of

    When fats, oils, and grease are improperly disposed of they can:
  • build up in sanitary sewer systems to the point of blockages
  • find their way into public storm sewers and wastewater treatment plants
  • solidify as hard as concrete in pipelines
improperly disposed of FOG can clog public pipelines
improperly disposed of FOG can cause overflows

When fats, oils, and grease get into sewer pipes, they can solidify and cause partial or complete blockages. Once blocked, the sanitary sewers can overflow into local waterways or cause raw sewage backups.

Municipalities nationwide are increasing their right to exercise authority relative to pretreatment standards and FOG control protocols.

Controlling FOG discharges

Commercial kitchens can do a variety of things to control and capture FOG material including:

  • Install interceptor/collector devices
  • Increase the cleaning of grease control devices
  • Increase the maintenance of grease control devices
