Efficient F.O.G. Removal from Wastewater with Drum Oil Skimmers

Fat, oil, and grease (F.O.G.) are common byproducts in food processing and chemical manufacturing. If not managed well, they can cause major problems in wastewater systems. This can lead to blockages, environmental harm, and large fines. Fortunately, drum oil skimmers offer an efficient and cost-effective solution for fat, oil and grease removal from wastewater. Fill out our questionnaire to tell us more about your facility.

How Drum Oil Skimmers Work

Drum oil skimmers utilize a rotating drum to attract and remove F.O.G. from wastewater. The design of the drum’s surface attracts oil and grease while repelling water, making it oleophilic. As the drum rotates, it comes into contact with the wastewater, and the F.O.G. adheres to its surface. A scraper then removes the collected F.O.G., depositing it into a collection container for proper disposal or recycling. 

Benefits of Using Drum Oil Skimmers

• Efficient F.O.G. Removal: Drum oil skimmers are very good at removing many types of F.O.G. This includes animal fats, vegetable oils, grease, and petroleum based oils. 
• Reduced Wastewater Treatment Costs: By removing F.O.G. early in the treatment process, drum oil skimmers help reduce the load on equipment. This lowers waste treatment costs and improves the overall efficiency of the system. 
• Environmental Protection: Proper F.O.G. removal prevents these substances from entering waterways, protecting aquatic life and preventing environmental damage. 
• Compliance with Regulations: Many municipalities have strict regulations regarding F.O.G. discharge. Drum oil skimmers help businesses comply with these regulations, avoiding fines and legal issues. 

Versatile Applications: Drum oil skimmers are useful in many industries. These include food processing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment facilities, and other manufacturing processes that use oils. They can be set up in tanks, pits, or ponds. This makes them flexible for different environments.

Choosing the Right Drum Oil Skimmer

Choosing the right drum oil skimmer depends on a few key factors. These include the type and amount of F.O.G. present. You also need to consider the flow rate of the wastewater. The specific needs of your application matter too.

Drum oil skimmers are a valuable tool for businesses looking to effectively manage F.O.G. in their wastewater. By using this technology, companies can make their wastewater treatment better. This helps protect the environment and keeps you in compliance. If you need a reliable way to remove fat, oil, and grease from wastewater, drum oil skimmers are an excellent option.

Lastly, keep in mind any regulatory requirements. It’s important to talk to a trusted manufacturer or supplier. Elastec’s experts can help you pick the best skimmer system for your needs. Contact us today to discuss your working environment.
