Biological Solutions for Breaking Down Fat, Oil, and Grease in Commercial Restaurant Environments

Himanshu Ramesh Lamba ^[4] | Dr. Lakhwinder S. Hundal

Abstract: The daily Restaurant Wastewater (RWW) produced by commercial restaurants contains elevated levels of Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG), leading to issues such as kitchen sink blockages and sewer line clogs, which result in unpleasant odors and overflows. While grease traps are commonly installed to separate the heavy FOG component from RWW, routine manual cleaning is often necessary to prevent clogging or overflow. This research showcases several case studies in which biological solutions were introduced with the aim of mitigating FOG - related challenges in commercial restaurant settings, offering a cost - effective alternative. The findings highlight that the implementation of biological solutions serves as an ongoing maintenance strategy, effectively preventing issues arising from FOG waste in restaurant kitchens.
