FOOD SECTOR - FATS OILS AND GREASES

OPEC'S oil mop skimming machines not only recover mineral oils but are very effective at skimming surface oils, fats and greases from the food industry.

THE PROBLEM

Fats Oils and Greases typically referred to as ‘FOG's' are a major headache to effluent treatment in the food sector. An overload of these FOG's reap havoc with effluent treatment plants.

THE SOLUTION

Using an OPEC Eseries Mop skimmer device can recover most of the fats prior to further treatment, greatly reducing the volume of FOG's left to treat which in return reduces costs of effluent treatment and improves overall water quality.
