A 120 tonne fatberg, equivalent in size of a blue whale, has been removed from a large trunk sewer in Oxford. Clearing the fatberg required a coordinated effort from multiple Thames Water teams and contractors, highlighting the scale and complexity of the operation.

Trials of a cutting-edge fats, oils and grease (FOG) Recovery Hub at Yorkshire Water’s wastewater treatment works in Hull, UK, are helping the utility improve environmental performance while lowering costs, says Chris Clemes, chief executive of engineering technology company EcoClarity.

A completely natural combination of bacteria, enzymes and fungi that removes pollutants from wastewater, but without having any detrimental effect on watercourses, is now available in the United Kingdom for the first time.

Scottish Water is launching a new partnership approach to tackling the threat of fatbergs in city centre sewers.

Data collected by Anglian Water has revealed that people across the East of England wrongly disposed of 3,047 tonnes of unflushable items last year causing avoidable blockages and risk to the region’s precious environment.

Drainage company Lanes Group has announced the launch of their fifth annual Unblocktober campaign.

Europe’s leading fat, oil and grease (FOG) summit will bring together the hospitality sector and the water industry to develop collaborative and sustainable solutions to keep sewer networks clear.

Allowing fat and oil to get into the Thames Water sewer network has cost a pub management company £91,000 in court.

A collaborative event will bring together water, wastewater and sustainability experts to explore new ways of tackling fat, oil and grease (FOG) in sewers and pave the way for a blockage-free future.

Over the past 18 months Severn Trent have been trialling a new materials technology used for mitigating the build-up of fats, oils and grease (FOG) in sewers.
