Fubble - An efficient under-the-sink solution for trapping emulsified grease in kitchen wastewater

Adhesh isn't just an engineer or just a designer. From working as a data scientist to help bring autonomous driving into the Mercedes Benz S-class, to designing games to help Autistic children use public transportation independently at Bosch UX Studio, to starting a non-profit that encouraged the youth to engage in social work through gamification, to helping firemen in developing countries run ops safer and more efficiently by creating a low cost augmented reality device. The common thread between all of these is a desire for a challenge, to learn and to apply knowledge from other disciplines, even without prior experience in these fields.

Fubble - A Grease Capturing Innovation

Every year, 25 billion pounds is spent on fatberg clearance, making it one of the costliest problems that plagues our wastewater network. It's mainly caused by grease that goes down the drain of commercial kitchens and forms large solid formations within the sewers called fatberg. 50% of this grease in the wastewater is in the form of emulsified grease that flows straight through existing grease traps.

Fubble is the only grease-capturing device that can effectively capture sub-100 micron oil particles suspended in wastewater without the use of added chemicals, electricity or moving parts. Being retrofittable and designed around current kitchen protocols, Fubble seamlessly fits into commercial kitchens in line with the effluent pipes of dishwashers and dishwashing sinks.
