Introduction; Specifications - Water Analytics AquaMetrix AM-FOG Installation And Operation Manual

1 Introduction

The AM-FOG analyzer is the first probe to replace core samplers (e.g. Sludge Judge, Dipstick Pro) with a
digital version that is portable, robust, customizable and inexpensive. It measures the level of fats, oils,
and grease (FOG) in grease interceptors quickly, accurately and as cleanly as possible. The probe is the
result of five years of intense product development. The probe is aimed primarily at inspectors of
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ, aka municipalities) but interceptor service companies ("haulers")
and food service establishment (FSE) operators will also find the AM-FOG probe to be an important part
of their operation.
Competing FOG analyzers have relied on conductance, which suffers from fouling or ultrasonic
transducers, which also are impacted by fouling and are very expensive to build. Because it is based on
measuring the electrical properties of the surrounding medium there are no moving parts or expensive
transducers. Coating of the probe changes the reading very slightly, so fouling is not a major problem.
The result is a probe that can withstand the extreme physical and chemical environment of a grease
interceptor. There are other FOG analyzers that use capacitance, but the AM-FOG uses several ingenious
innovations which make the probe robust, inexpensive, and extremely easy to use.
The length of the AM-FOG probe can be made to any multiple of 8 inches so that it can be configured for
any grease interceptor size. The embedded firmware senses the correct length and customizes the user
interface on the cell phone app for any probe.
