Driving Innovation: Transforming Waste into Biofuel Through FOG Recovery Hubs
Fabrinox was approached by UK-based company Eco Clarity, a waste-to-energy service provider, to co-develop and manufacture revolutionary “FOG Recovery Hubs”. These innovative hubs, characterized by their modular, scalable, and containerized design, are at the forefront of a revolutionary approach to the management of Grease Trap Waste (GTW) generated by Food Service Establishments (FSEs).
The primary objective of Eco Clarity’s FOG Recovery Hubs is to provide accessible disposal locations for haulers to sustainably manage wastewater containing fats, oil and grease (FOG). By intercepting this waste before it enters the sewer network or wastewater treatment facilities, these hubs help mitigate potential blockages, spills, and costly clean-up operations that can result from FOG accumulation in the water system. Furthermore, these hubs have the unique capability to consolidate the extracted FOG into a biofuel feedstock suitable for biodiesel production, which can be blended with diesel fuel.
Through the utilization of Eco Clarity’s FOG Recovery Hubs, FSEs, haulers, and water utilities are empowered to adopt a circular economy model. By running their vehicles on biofuel derived from the waste they generate, stakeholders can not only create value from previously considered valueless waste but also contribute to cost savings, water conservation, reduced transportation impacts, and environmental sustainability.
The Eco Clarity FOG to Fuel Technology, facilitated by the FOG Recovery Hubs, represents a significant leap forward in environmental sustainability and resource management. By efficiently converting FOG waste into biofuel, this technology holds the potential to transform waste management practices and drive advancements in renewable energy production.
Fabrinox’s successful production of three operational FOG Recovery Hubs that already operate in locations across the UK demonstrates the growing interest and adoption of this innovative solution both internationally and locally. As the demand for sustainable waste management solutions continues to rise, the collaborative efforts between ourselves and Eco Clarity are setting new benchmarks in mitigating environmental impact, promoting circular economy practices, and advancing renewable energy initiatives.
