![]() Greasezilla Partners with LEND Environmental to Produce Premium UCO and Brown Grease Biofuels in Los AngelesThe companies will bring the latest separation technology to California's grease trap waste and used cooking oil industry while producing low-carbon, low-moisture advanced biofuels
By: Downey Ridge Environmental Company The move follows the 2021 installation of a Greasezilla system at LEND Environmental's Sylmar, CA location. In addition to ecologically processing FOG into Brown Grease Advanced Biofuel, the company began refining loads of used cooking oil, yielding a premium, low-moisture Yellow Grease Advanced Biofuel. By accepting UCO and FOG from area haulers, the Sylmar facility quickly reached full processing capacity. The exceptional results from Greasezilla combined with the region's overwhelming need for grease and oil waste recycling sparked the joint venture. As part of the collaboration, Downey Ridge Environmental Company is deploying a Greasezilla system to Lancaster, CA. Projected to go online in Q2 2022, the system will double LEND Environmental's grease recycling capabilities and expand Greasezilla's presence in the region. The companies plan to announce additional systems in California in the coming months along with many new sites nationwide. "Los Angeles County generates an enormous amount of waste oil and greases," said Louis Downey, owner of LEND Environmental. "With Greasezilla we can separate and recover trapped low-carbon biofuels from waste oils while utilizing a small percentage of the very fuel it generates to power the process – a pure example of the circular economy at work. We see tremendous growth potential and are excited to work with Greasezilla to expand our recycling operations in the area." Widely recognized for its ecological FOG separation process, Greasezilla separates water and batter from commercial grease trap waste to generate a high-quality, low-moisture Brown Grease Advanced Biofuel. Greasezilla's ability to remove residual solids and significantly reduce water content also enables the system to refine UCO into a premium, low-moisture Yellow Grease Advanced Biofuel. While lower grade Yellow Grease is used in animal feed or composted, Greasezilla- "Most of our public and commercial customers install Greasezilla to solve their FOG discharge and separation needs, meeting the pressing demand for more FOG receiving centers nationwide," For more information about Greasezilla, please visit www.greasezilla.com.
