How does FOG clog sewer system lines?
Even when grease is softened, emulsified or melted with chemicals or hot water, it will flow downstream and harden again in sewer lines. Even with the use of expensive “enzyme treatment,” grease molecules will mostly break apart only long enough to get some limited distance downstream before the molecules re-form into line-clogging grease. Thousands of dollars per year are spent in maintenance fees to clean collection systems and lines and many acres are wasted to landfill the greasy waste. Bacteria which are specifically made to devour vegetable and animal oils are most effective in denaturing grease molecules so that re-formation downstream is unable to occur.
