Composting grease trap wastes
Article Abstract:
Grease traps are pretreatments used to separate oil and fats from domestic wastewater so that sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) are prevented. Composting grease trap wastes (GTW) is difficult as fats and oils contain twice the energy of other substances giving rapid rise to temperatures during composting, therefore it is essential to maintain parameters during composting as it is the most viable method for managing GTW.
