Treating CBOD and TSS at wastewater treatment plants are two of the main objectives of a treatment plant.   Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) are particularly difficult to treat due to the raised levels of CBOD and TSS inherent in their make-up.  A grease trap can catch a majority of these “contaminants”, but often a grease trap is not enough and higher doses of FOG are sent to the local wastewater treatment plant.

Fines from local municipalities, or DEP, due to excessive CBOD or TSS in the wastewater stream delivered to the municipal wastewater plant, can be extremely costly and redundant.    New treatments are available that avoid emulsifying Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) issues, but treat them.   CBOD, TSS and turbidity reduction or removal is now possible with the right equipment and product.   Most equipment for FOG reduction is bulky, costly and requires engineering design and permitting.   ESI, in cooperation with manufacturing companies, has developed a method and product that may avoid all design costs and permitting fees.   The product is also ADA approved, so environmental or health hazard issues are not a concern.
