Sustainability Award for revolutionary fog recovery technology
In a significant achievement for sustainable innovation, Eco Clarity has been recognised by the prestigious Sassda & Columbus Stainless Awards for technology that revolutionises the recovery of fats, oils and grease (FOG) from food service establishments (FSEs). This innovative solution not only addresses a critical environmental challenge but also contributes to the circular economy by converting waste into a valuable resource: biodiesel.
Addressing a critical environmental challenge
came around a decade ago when I was fly-fishing and noticed the impact of surface oil and other contaminants on water quality. This inspired me to find a solution.” Material optimisation for longevity and efficiency Eco Clarity’s technology is designed with material optimisation at its core, ensuring maximum lifespan at minimum cost. Careful selection of materials plays a crucial role in achieving this balance. The plant’s high-frequency product contact surfaces (including key components such as skimming tanks, hardware skid, pressure vessels and
FSEs generate substantial volumes of FOG waste, which can lead to severe blockages in sewer systems and wastewater treatment facilities if not properly managed. The blockages often result in costly clean-up operations and environmental hazards. Eco Clarity’s innovative solution, known as FOG Consolidation Hubs, provides an efficient and sustainable method for the disposal of FOG-laden wastewater before it reaches the sewer network. Eco Clarity Founder Christopher Clemes shares his inspiration for the project. “The idea for this technology
