    Trap Grease
    Hello,

    I am curious if there is any way to alter trap grease( waste vegetable oil) to be used on dirt roads for dust control. The idea is to heat the oil to separate the impurities and then add something else to the mixture to alter to grease for safe road application. Below is an analysis of a typical grease trap

    Aluminum 21.8 MG/L
    Arsenic 0.056
    Barium 2.47
    Boron 0.363
    Cadmium BRL
    Chromium 0.171
    Cobalt BRL
    Copper 1.4
    Iron 29.3
    Lead 0.143
    Manganese 0.619
    Molybdenum 0.06
    Nickel 0.087
    Selenium BRL
    Silver BRL
    Zinc 4.51
    TSS 24600
    COD 9420
    Fluoride 0.298 mg/L
    Sulfate 1.35 mg/L

    Except that its typically used to make Biodiesel now, which has a higher cash value than spraying on roads for temp dust control.
