FOG (Fats, Olis & Greases) – Means and Opportunities

FOGs are often associated with waste food and are rich in potential energy materials with calorific values in the region of 39MJ/kg. Changes in energy generation tariffs especially combined with increasing landfill costs have created a resource market from the waste product with FOG being used in: combustion direct for energy, co digestion with other substrates in Anaerobic Digestion and conversion through to Biodiesel. Source separation and independent collection of FOGs from FSE’s has become widespread with the potential to increase to domestic scale collections although mechanisms and benefits have yet to develop fully. Aqua Enviro invite you to attend our conference “FOG – Means and Opportunities” in which we will explore this fascinating subject both on a technical, social and legislative basis.
