Wastewater containing oil or grease from the food industry often causes major problems in conventional biological treatment processes. The objective of a research project is the development of a new, high performance process for fat degradation using an aerobic thermophilic microorganism isolated from an Icelandic hot spring ( Bacillus thermoleovorans IHI‐91).
