Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) can create significant problems in wastewater treatment systems, often leading to clogs, blockages, and system inefficiencies. The addition of pHREADY boosts pH levels throughout your system, preventing the conditions that encourage the deposition of grease. This buildup can clog lines, accumulate on pump stations, and disrupt the efficiency of your treatment plant. By optimizing pH, pHREADY prevents the formation of grease deposits and keeps your wastewater systems running smoothly.
A staggering 47% of blockage events in municipal wastewater systems are caused by FOG. The accumulation of these substances can be controlled effectively with pHREADY, a proprietary hydroxide treatment. pHREADY is a strong base and a moderate pH adjuster that adds non-carbonate alkalinity to wastewater. As pH levels rise, FOG becomes more soluble, resulting in a significant reduction in grease buildup across the system, including collection, transport, and treatment structures.
pHREADY plays a crucial role in wastewater systems by improving the conditions for “good bacteria” to perform their function. Instead of transferring FOG issues downstream, pHREADY eliminates them at the source. By the time wastewater reaches the reclamation facility, most of the FOG has been consumed or reduced to simpler organics, greatly reducing the burden on your treatment plant. With pH levels optimized, solubility increases significantly, sometimes by a factor of 10x, leading to better overall system performance.
pHREADY is typically added through a single feed unit and provides multiple benefits throughout the system, from source to discharge. It not only prevents the buildup of FOG but also improves pH and bacterial activity, enhancing the solubility of waste products. By ensuring FOG doesn’t accumulate, your system remains more efficient, avoiding costly blockages and improving the overall functionality of your wastewater treatment plant.
ChemREADY offers a range of wastewater treatment services designed to tackle the toughest challenges, including FOG control. With our pHREADY solution, you can optimize your system’s pH, boost bacterial activity, and prevent blockages caused by fats, oils, and grease. Our services are tailored to ensure your wastewater treatment plant operates efficiently while remaining compliant with environmental regulations.
