Mechanism of fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposit formation in sewer systems

Fat, oil, and grease (FOG) released into sewer systems results in a continuous build-up and subsequent blockage of sewer pipes. Currently, scientist, authorities and wastewater municipalitieshave a lack of comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of FOG deposit formation and the factors influenc...
