  DS Environmental Services in conjunction with Intertrade Ireland have teamed up with Queen’s University Belfast in an effort to combat the hospitality industry’s increasing problems & costs with Fats, Oils and Greases (FOGS) that so often cause blockages in the nations drains & pipes.

What is FOGS? Fats, Oils & Greases are a by-product of the catering industry and when they find their way into our sewers they put unnecessary strain on the network and cause major blockages in the system. For these reasons it is the responsibility for each food service establishment to have grease traps installed and emptied on a regular basis. Recent enforcement of legislation has caused the disposal of this material to rise significantly. Proactive solution for Donegals’ Catering industry Tighter regulations controlling the management of grease trap waste has caused the disposal of the problematic substance to soar in cost, forcing further stress onto an industry already under pressure. DS Environmental Services  based in Letterkenny, Donegal “are developing this programme to help lower costs which we can pass onto our customers in Donegal and the Northwest as we understand how people are looking for value in these difficult times" says Denis Sherdian, owner of DS Environmental.  Commitment to the North West To show how serious they are taking this project, DS Environmental Services ltd have recruited Chemical Engineer, Joe Wilson, to work closely with the QUESTOR Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast, to investigate innovative new methods of processing grease trap waste in an environmentally friendly manner, while reducing the overall cost to the hospitality industry. DS Environmental Services continue striving towards improving the services on offer to their customers and for full details of their services check out www.dsenvironmental.ie or phone 074 9139522
