Fats, Oils & Grease Control

When fats, oils, and grease are not properly disposed of:

  • it can build up in the sanitary sewer system to the point of causing blockages
  • it can find its way to the public storm sewers and wastewater treatment plants
  • it can become as as hard as concrete in pipelines
improperly disposed of FOG can clog public pipelines
improperly disposed of FOG can cause overflows

The problem with fats, oils, and grease in sewer pipes, is that it can solidify and cause both partial and complete blockages. Once sewer pipes are blocked, this can cause sanitary sewers to overflow into waterways or contribute to raw sewage backups.

Cities and municipalities across the country are increasing their right to exercise authority regarding pretreatment standards and FOG control protocols.

How to control FOG discharges

There are many things commercial kitchens can do 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
