Quantitative analysis of fat, oil and grease in valikamam area, Sri Lanka and conversion of waste oil into grease

Use of Bio-Amp, a commercial bio-additive for the treatment of grease trap wastewater containing fat, oil, and grease.

This research investigated the application of Bio-Amp, a commercial bio-additive for the treatment of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) in a grease trap, and evaluated potential impacts of treated effluent on downstream collection system and treatment processes. Results show that after Bio-Amp treatment, FOG deposit formation was reduced by 40%, implicating a potential reduction of sewer line blockage...

Kinetics of the electrocoagulation of oil and grease

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Quantifying fat, oil, and grease deposits formation kinetics in sewer collection systems

Fat, oil and grease deposits in sewer systems are known as calcium based fatty acid salts that are responsible for a significant number of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) throughout the United States. Since 2007, clean water act (CWA) requires publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) to invest more than 15 billion dollars in new pipes and infrastructure to eliminate the overflows. However, little...

Statistical modelling of Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) deposits in wastewater pump sumps.

The accumulation of FOG (Fat, Oil and Grease) deposits in sewer pumping stations results in an increase in maintenance costs, malfunctioning of pumps and, a potential increase of wastewater spills in receiving open water bodies. It is thought that a variety of parameters (e.g. geometry of the pump sump, pump operation, socioeconomic parameters of the catchment) influences the built-up of FOG. B...
