Introduction.

Mellifiq was assigned the task to deliver air treatment equipment to this new 5-star hotel

In this reference project, we are collaborating with an Icelandic partner to make sure that our customer’s air treatment is top-notch!

Our customer is an Icelandic 5-star hotel, located centrally in a major Icelandic city, that offers numerous services and conveniences. They have several restaurants at the hotel, and guests also have the opportunity to experience al fresco dining. The guests can then enjoy some unbeatable sights, potentially even catching a glimpse of the northern lights, all while tasting modern interpretations of local Icelandic cuisine.

Of course, since this is a high-class hotel at a perfect location, it stands to reason that their air treatment solution should be perfect as well.

The problem.

Thanks to the many restaurants in the hotel, they are able to offer something to everyone, but the amount of kitchen exhaust air that all the commercial kitchens at the hotel produce is very high as a result. The hotel also has a charcoal grill in use, which adds another layer of complexity: exhaust air from charcoal grills is harder to treat and the open fire is a potential fire hazard.

While it is a boon for the hotel that they are located in a very exlusive area, this also makes it all the more important that any odors problem are treated and prevented as much as possible. The area is densely populated, and odor issues tend to make neighbors and neighboring businesses irritated very quickly.

The solution.

Our local partner, a well-renowned domestic HVAC business, identified the challenges and possibilities at an early stage. They made sure to contact us at Mellifiq in order to involve us in the planning process and make sure that everything is properly configurated. To ensure maximal performance, we designed the complete HVAC system for the hotel together, including fans, hoods, ductwork, and treatment systems.

The three Ozonetech RENA Commercial Kitchen Solutions systems were installed to neutralize odors and prevent grease buildup in the duct, minimizing the need for duct sweeping and maximizing fire safety. The RENA Kitchen Solutions systems inject ozone directly into the exhaust air streams, breaking down all the grease and odor particles.

The installation was conducted by our certified local partner, and thanks to a tight collaboration with all stakeholders, the owners, facility managers and our partner, we could ensure both a smooth delivery and a smooth installation process.

Evaluation.

Our solution delivered outstanding results: no odor complaints, 100% uptime and clean ducts. The ozone systems were placed in their own separate space, easily accessible for service without disturbing the kitchen staff. Our local partner also handles the annual maintenance. This makes sure that the lead times are as short as possible, that our client remains satisfied, and that there are no unnecessary flight trips.

Thanks to the internet uplink, Mellifiq can also provide some support through remote monitoring and diagnostics.
