In this day and age of green business, where do companies look to find a solution to combat the build-up of fat, oil and grease, without it costing the Earth?

It’s estimated that fat, oil and grease causes approximately 70% of blocked drains and related flood damage, necessitating a genuine commercial need to clear clogged drains. But how do organisations manage this without the environmental impact that can be almost as costly as the blockages?

Organically combating the cause of fats, oils and grease build-ups within waste systems can result in companies being void of expensive effluent legislation, as one of the key attributes of organic catalysts is their ability to cause an immediate catalytic breakdown of the molecular structures of organic contaminates.

Organic catalysts are also distinguished by their unique ability to increase gas transfer rates and the level of dissolved oxygen (DO) within water, thereby facilitating nature’s own mechanism for the life-sustaining quality of water and soil. Both attributes are critical requirements for the advanced treatment of contamination.

Organic catalysts can be highly concentrated, completely non-toxic liquid formulations, which are either injected directly into wastewater streams or deployed through spray or fogging systems. They are complementary to virtually all microbiological systems and chemical purification processes, and contribute to the enhancement of these operations.

Able to work in conjunction with oxidizing agents, organic catalysts can substantially reduce the amount of oxidizing agents needed to perform purification requirements, and aid in improving removal of bio-films, which is critical to eliminating pathogen growth and the fouling of filters and membranes.

Despite the management of waste watercourses that can cause blocked drains being taken increasingly more seriously by authorities, not everyone is aware of their responsibilities and the consequences of falling foul of the legislation.

Organic catalysts can meet this challenge by reducing the contamination to our environment and eliminating the waste byproducts produced by industry, agriculture and population centres.

At EcoCatalysts, we’re continually seeking new ways to ensure extremely high levels of treatment plant performance and work to supply economic, efficient and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment outcomes.
