By: X. He n, M. So n & F. de los Reyes n 

Contributors: X. He n, M. So n & F. Reyes n 

author keywords: Grease interceptors; Microbial community; Bioaugmentation; Fat, oil, and grease(FOG); T-RFLP; Clone library
MeSH headings : Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / metabolism; Bioreactors; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Fats / metabolism; Gene Library; Oils / metabolism; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Sewage / microbiology; Waste Disposal, Fluid; Water Purification / methods

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

He, X., Reyes, F. L., Leming, M. L., Dean, L. O., Lappi, S. E., & Ducoste, J. J. (2013, May 15). Water Research, Vol. 47, pp. 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
topics (OpenAlex): Odor and Emission Control Technologies; Water Systems and Optimization; Surface Modification and Superhydrophobicity
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)
