Kitchen Smoke and Odor Filtration (Ecology)

Kitchen Smoke and Odor Filtration (Ecology)

A Kitchen Ecology Unit (KEU) is an air purification and filtration system designed to treat and clean exhaust air from commercial kitchen hoods before discharging it into the atmosphere. Its main purpose is to remove grease, smoke, odor, and particulates, ensuring environmental compliance and improving air quality around food service establishments.

Kitchen Smoke and Odor Filtration

Key Features:

1

  • Pre-Filters (Grease Filters) Stainless steel or aluminum mesh filters. Capture large grease droplets and solid particles. Washable and reusable.

2

  • Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
  • High-efficiency electrostatic cell removes fine grease, smoke, and carbon particles.
  • Works by electrically charging particles and capturing them on collector plates.
  • Efficiency up to 95–98% for particulate removal.
  • Requires periodic washing (with degreasing solution).

3

  • Activated Carbon Filters
  • Adsorb odors, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • Contain activated charcoal granules or blocks.
  • Replaceable depending on usage (every 3–6 months).

4

  • UV-C Light / Ozone Generator (Optional)
  • Destroys odor-causing molecules and airborne bacteria.
  • Breaks down grease vapors into simpler compounds, reducing buildup.
  • Optional feature depending on project or environmental requirements.

5

  • HEPA / Secondary Filters (Optional)
  • Captures ultra-fine particles after ESP treatment.
  • Used in systems requiring high air purity levels.

6

  • Fan Section (Optional)
  • Some units include integrated centrifugal or plug fans for air movement.
  • Fans are dynamically balanced, low-noise, and vibration isolated.

Application Areas

  • Commercial kitchens (hotels, restaurants, catering facilities)
  • Food courts and central kitchens
  • High-rise buildings or enclosed areas with limited exhaust outlets
  • Locations with odor or smoke emission restrictions (e.g., malls, hospitals, airports)

Main Functions

  • Remove grease and oil particles from cooking fumes
  • Eliminate smoke and carbon particles
  • Neutralize odor molecules
  • Reduce pollutant discharge to meet environmental regulations
  • Ensure safe, clean, and odor-free air exhaust
