The FOG Energy System was designed by wastewater treatment operators with over 50 years of combined experience. The result is a system which considers the challenges faced at the wastewater treatment plant, and attempts to minimize the demands placed on a wastewater treatment team, while helping the operator meet the primary goal of cleaning the wastewater stream as effectively as possible.

In over 3 years of proven operation, O&M costs have consistently been less than $25,000 each year, including labor, maintenance, and electricity used to power the FOG Energy System.

• Be completely automated so it wouldn’t require additional staff to operate.
• Be flexible in configuration. The FOG Energy System can be placed anywhere on a wastewater plant site, with no limitations on the distance from the digester. It can be customized based on local site characteristics as well.
• Be low cost to operate. The FOG Energy System requires minimal electricity to operate, and has no expendable parts, no chemicals to replenish or purchase and has very minimal maintenance. It generates 54X more energy than is required to operate the system.
• Be safe and reliable. In over 3 years of operation, the FOG Energy System has never broken down.
• Be affordable. Most FOG Energy System installation will payback in less than 1 year’s time and do not require significant investment or changes in budget priorities.
• Leverage your existing assets. Adding a FOG Energy System to your existing anaerobic digester operation can maximize the value you derive from investments in digesters and CHP or co-generation equipment.
