A new wastewater treatment system developed by RMIT University researchers could help prevent fatbergs – solid masses of fat, oil and grease (FOG) that clog sewers and cost water utilities globally billions to remove each year.
These congealed blockages, formed when FOG binds with wet wipes and other debris, reduce sewer capacity, trigger overflows and pose public health risks.
But a team from RMIT’s Effective Technologies and Tools (WETT) Research Centre has developed a solution that combines a redesigned grease interceptor with a smart chemical treatment – more than doubling fat removal rates in commercial kitchen wastewater.
