Keeping Fats, Oils, and Grease out of the Sewer System

Wastewater treatment plants play a critical role in maintaining the cleanliness and health of our environment. They are responsible for treating and purifying the water that goes down our drains before releasing it back into natural water bodies. However, there's an invisible menace lurking in our wastewater that can wreak havoc on these treatment facilities – fat, oil, and grease, collectively known as FOG.
