Understanding the Science of FOG

FOG may seem harmless in the kitchen, but when it enters sewer systems, it transforms into a formidable adversary. FOG congeals and solidifies, forming stubborn blockages that impede flow and lead to costly backups and overflows.


Scientifically speaking, the composition of FOG, consisting of long-chain fatty acids and triglycerides, plays a key role in its propensity to clogged pipes.


The Consequences of FOG Buildup

Unchecked FOG buildup poses serious consequences for communities and people alike. Blocked sewer lines can result in unsanitary backups, creating health hazards and environmental contamination. Moreover, the financial burden of FOG-related maintenance and cleanup falls on municipalities and businesses, impacting budgets and resources.


The Key to Effective FOG Control

Preventing FOG buildup requires a multifaceted approach. In-Pipe Technology offers innovative solutions designed to address FOG at its source, preventing blockages and ensuring clear, flowing sewer systems.


Our patented technology and engineered solutions target FOG accumulation upstream in the sewer system, closer to the source, effectively mitigating the risk of blockages and backups.


Environmental and Social Benefits of Proactive FOG Control

By investing in proactive FOG control measures, municipalities and industrial clients can reap a host of benefits. Beyond preventing costly backups and overflows, effective FOG control promotes environmental sustainability and enhances public health and safety. Clear, flowing sewer systems contribute to cleaner communities and improved quality of life for residents.


At In-Pipe Technology, we're committed to empowering municipalities and industrial clients with the knowledge and tools needed to conquer FOG buildup. By understanding the scientific principles behind FOG control and implementing proactive measures, communities can ensure clear pipes and cleaner environments for all.
