    Patent number: 11358886
    Abstract: A gel emulsification system and method for converting fats, oils, and grease (FOG) into a solid acceptable for landfill disposal.

The system may include a container adapted to hold solids and liquids without leaking, a powdered detergent in the container to mix with water and a FOG to form an emulsion, and a powdered viscosifier and powdered cross-linking agent in the container adapted to thicken and cross-link the emulsion to form a gel.
