Bar-S Foods Case Study

Case Study

Bar-S Foods

Lawton, Oklahoma

Learn how we helped Bar-S Foods reduce their plant’s oil and fat discharge, drastically reduce maintenance burdens, and save more than $50,000 annually.

A Small Team Searching for a Better Solution

Misty Concannon and Robert Jette, both maintenance employees at the Bar-S Foods plant in Lawton, Oklahoma, saw a costly problem in the plant’s grease traps and set out to find a solution.

Each year, Bar-S paid around $100,000 to clear the traps, but Misty and Robert believed there had to be a better way. When an initial plan to sell the grease for rendering fell through, they dove into research and discovered a unique microbial technology capable of breaking down grease and oil.

This led them to our team of experts at AMS, and how our story together began.
