The presence of fats, oils, and greases (FOGs) in wastewater represents a significant challenge for the operational efficiency of membrane wastewater treatment plants. FOGs, commonly found in galley water from kitchens and food preparation areas, can create substantial issues if not properly managed. These substances have the potential to accumulate on membranes, obstructing water flow and compromising the treatment plant’s overall performance. Over time, this buildup leads to reduced membrane life expectancy, decreased efficiency, and increased maintenance costs, presenting a serious threat to the longevity and sustainability of wastewater treatment systems onboard vessels.
ACO Marine has long recognized this challenge and responded with innovative solutions to mitigate the risks associated with FOGs in wastewater. Our ACO Marine Grease Separators have been meticulously engineered to address the unique requirements of the maritime environment. These separators are designed to ensure the effective and thorough removal of fats, oils, and greases from galley water before it enters any wastewater treatment system. By intercepting FOGs at the source, our grease separators protect downstream treatment processes, significantly reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring optimal system performance over time.
