As disposal costs for Fats, Oils & Greases (FOG) remain high across Ireland, Donegal company DS Environmental Services Ltd in conjunction with Intertrade Ireland and Queen’s University Belfast continue to improve their services while striving to drive down the long term costs associated with this troublesome waste.
What is FOG?
Fats, Oils & Greases are a by-product of the catering industry and when they find their way into our sewers they put unnecessary strain on the network and cause major blockages in the system.
For these reasons it is the responsibility for each food service establishment to have grease traps installed and emptied on a regular basis. Recent enforcement of legislation has caused the disposal of this material to rise significantly.
Proactive solution for Donegals’ Catering industry
DS Environmental Services Ltd has been taking a proactive approach to these challenges. Chemical Engineer with the company, Joe Wilson, has been working closely with the Questor centre at Queen’s University Belfast in developing new processes to manage Fats, Oils & Greases more efficiently.
He is confident they will be able to offer their customers a much improved service in the near future. As part of a maintenance contract, the new service would include regular emptying and cleaning of grease traps, as well as advice on how to reduce the volume of grease going through the system. These measures would likely reduce the overall cost to the customer in the long run
