Batley, West Yorkshire -- (SBWire) -- 12/03/2010 -- OPEC http://www.opec.co.uk has recently used an E-Series Oil Mop Skimmer unit and heated separator tank to remove surface 'FOG' (Fats Oils and Greases) from a cheese making factory in the UK. The system deploys a endless belt of mop down into the sump which skims oils from the surface which are then wringed out through the machine and drop the contents into the ST5 oily/water separator tank.
The butter fats were very high in fat content and difficult to deal with. All the fats had to be melted quickly in order to ensure that they can flow into collection IBC, 1000 litre containers ready for removal from site.
The waste butter fats from the factory have a use as raw materials for other uses which can add good value back to the factory.
Not only this but the removal of these butter fats helps the effluent treatment plant work correctly without blockages to the screens and will reduce chemical dosing to DAF and other dosing tanks as less free oil content will be present in the effluent process.
The skimmer also means a reduction in nasty odours which build up over time in the sump and can be a cause for complaints.
