About Fats, Oils and Grease
The accumulation of Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) in a drainage system can create issues for the food preparation facility and downstream infrastructure. FOG is generated from cooking processes and enters the drainage system via sinks, dishwashers and drainage outlets. Grease arrestors are an effective method of extracting FOG from wastewater and are required to be installed in commercial food preparation facilities.
Untreated FOG has damaging effects on sewer infrastructure and wastewater treatment plants and further downstream can cause surcharges and watercourse pollution.
Pollution resulting from FOG is a major concern for water authorities and local councils in Australia.
