Fat, Oil and Grease Elimination

Bio Organic Catalyst (BOC) offers a patented, green chemistry solution to address chronic challenges in wastewater systems, particularly fats, oils, greases (FOGs), and biofilm accumulation. Traditional methods rely on harsh chemicals or bacterial additives that mask odors temporarily or require frequent reapplication. BOC’s proprietary formulation leverages biocatalytic technology to break down FOGs and biofilms at the molecular level while enhancing dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, creating a self-sustaining cycle of wastewater purification. Unlike conventional treatments, BOC eliminates the root causes of blockages, corrosion, and odors by degrading organic binders, slime layers, and volatile compounds like hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). Its unique ability to generate oxygen-rich nanobubbles and stimulate indigenous microorganisms ensures long-term system efficiency, reduced sludge volumes, and compliance with environmental standards.

Root Cause:

Effective FOG and biofilm management requires addressing their origins. Below, we outline the systemic issues driving these persistent problems and how BOC’s technology disrupts their lifecycle for sustainable results:

  • Slime Layer Formation: Biofilms thrive in low-oxygen environments, creating anaerobic conditions that produce corrosive H₂S gas and foul odors.
  • FOG Accumulation: Grease blockages in pipes and pump stations restrict flow, increase maintenance costs, and heighten corrosion risks.
  • Low Dissolved Oxygen: Inadequate DO levels in sewage water accelerate anaerobic degradation, exacerbating odor issues and reducing treatment efficiency.
  • Chemical Dependency: Traditional chemical agents (e.g., oxidizers) temporarily suppress odors but contribute to biofilm growth and require escalating doses.
  • System Overload: Organic loadings (BOD/TKN) exceeding design capacity strain treatment facilities, increasing energy consumption and sludge disposal costs.

Solutions:

BOC’s patented formulation targets these challenges at their source, delivering measurable improvements through:

  • Biofilm Degradation: BOC’s biocatalytic agents rapidly break down slime layers and organic binders, eliminating H₂S production at its source.
  • FOG Elimination: Proprietary surfactants solubilize fats and greases, preventing blockages and reducing pump station maintenance.
  • Oxygen Enhancement: Nanobubble technology increases DO levels by up to 1.0 mg/L or higher, suppressing anaerobic activity and improving aerobic treatment efficiency.
  • Energy Savings: Reduced aeration demands lower energy consumption by optimizing microbial activity and organic load breakdown.
  • Process Optimization: Pre-treatment of sewage in collection systems reduces BOD/TKN loadings before reaching treatment plants, enhancing overall capacity.
