Mechanisms of Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) deposit formation in sewer lines

WATER RESEARCH, 47(13), 4451–4459.

By: X. He n, F. Reyes n, M. Leming n, L. Dean n, S. Lappi n & J. Ducoste n 

Contributors: X. He n, F. Reyes n, M. Leming n, L. Dean n, S. Lappi n & J. Ducoste n 

author keywords: Sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs); Fat, Oil and Grease (FOG) deposits; Free fatty acids (FFAs); Calcium; FOG deposit formation; Sewer lines
MeSH headings : Calcium / analysis; Fats / analysis; Fatty Acids / analysis; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Oils / analysis; Sewage / chemistry; Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared; Surface Properties; Time Factors
TL;DR: Tests showed that calcium, the dominant metal in FOG deposits, can be released from concrete surfaces under low pH conditions and contribute to the formation process, and a comprehensive model was proposed for the mechanisms of FOG deposit formation in sewer systems. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Evidence for Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) Deposit Formation Mechanisms in Sewer Lines

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 45(10), 4385–4391.

By: X. He n, M. Iasmin n, L. Dean n, S. Lappi n, J. Ducoste n  & F. Reyes n

Contributors: X. He n, M. Iasmin n, L. Dean n, S. Lappi n, J. Ducoste n  & F. Reyes n

MeSH headings : Dietary Fats / analysis; Drainage, Sanitary; Environmental Monitoring; Food Industry; Industrial Waste / analysis; Sewage / analysis; Sewage / chemistry; Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
TL;DR: It is proposed that the formation of FOG deposits occurs from the aggregation of excess calcium compressing the double layer of free fatty acid micelles and a saponification reaction between aggregated calcium and free fatty acids. (via Semantic Scholar)
