Innovative solutions to challenges posed by fats, oils and grease utilize can include everything from organic, biodegradable compounds to advanced molecular kinetic technology, and they're significantly improving the efficiency of wastewater systems. By accelerating the degradation of organic material and optimizing microbial activity, these technologies not only reduce grease and odor but also enhance the overall health of biological systems. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach to managing FOG in municipal sewage systems, reducing the need for extensive infrastructure investments and lowering operational costs.
Byo-Gon PX-109
Byo-Gon PX-109 is a nontoxic, noncorrosive and 100% organic and biodegradable alkaloid compound used for eliminating grease, sewage odor and hydrogen sulfide from restaurant grease traps, lagoons and municipal sewage systems. As a stimulant to enzymatic activity at the cellular level, it promotes more rapid cell growth and consumption of organic material, overcoming limiting environmental factors to stabilize wastewater systems. Its use promotes healthy biological systems, preventing the need for large capital expenditures, as well as reducing costs. It is organically certified by OMRI.

Next Filtration Next-F.O.G.Stop
Next Filtration’s Next-F.O.G.Stop is molecular kinetic technology that optimizes aerobic MLSS operation and increases wastewater throughput up to 40%. It promotes biostimulation of indigenous microorganisms through the uncoupling of microbial metabolic pathways. Trials demonstrate that it amplifies the metabolic rate of organic carbon degradation and lowers the amount of biomass produced. The excess carbon is metabolized and off-gassed in the form of carbon dioxide rather than being converted to biomass or biofilm. Specifically, results show feeding it into the inlet stream of municipal and industrial wastewater facilities led to a decrease of biological oxygen demand and total suspended solids, and an increase of dissolved oxygen. Indirectly, this leads to reduced energy consumption, due to reduced aeration blower rates.
