THE SCIENCE

HOW IT WORKS

Protein Matrix Industrial Grease Remediation safely and irreversibly transforms fat, oil and grease (FOG) into a highly digestible byproduct in a two-step process:

1. The proteins and peptides found in Protein Matrix disrupt the intermolecular forces between FOG molecules, minimizing the formation of large, solid blocks of fat. Even large chunks of FOG, which clog pipes and infrastructure, are easily dispersed. Furthermore, these natural products prevent re-agglomeration of the FOG so that it doesn’t re-adhere downstream.
2. Protein Matrix converts FOG into a flowable and environmentally-benign product. Our active ingredients significantly enhance the rate of reaction versus traditional caustic cleaners—the conversion process is swift and complete.

Because FOG particles that react with Protein Matrix are broken down before reaching wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), these particles are more easily digested by microorganisms during the treatment process. The result is that, unlike traditional degreasing products, which can have a detrimental effect on waste water purification system infrastructure and biota, Protein Matrix-treated FOG does not pose a problem for WWTP.
