Tech company chose a sustainable solution for kitchen odor control
Introduction.
Our client in this reference project is a German multinational engineering and technology company widely known for household appliances and power tools. The company has a long history, having been founded in 1886, and is even considered the largest automotive supplier in the world if we look at the company revenue.
The vast majority of the company stocks are owned by a charity foundation, which uses the funding it receives from the company to do charity work.
The problem.
The problem in this case was at the company headquarters and the canteen that is located there.
The kitchen exhaust was in dire need of a better treatment solution: the grease and odor particles in the air were not treated well enough, causing odor problems and grease buildups in the kitchen ducts.
Odor problems can quickly become incredibly disturbing, for both employees and others in the vicinity, and grease buildups are dangerous in the sense that they can act as fuel for duct fires. Duct fires are very destructive and also difficult to put out.
The solution.
To tackle these issues, our client reached out to us at Mellifiq so that we could provide a working solution for the kitchen exhaust air.
In 2019, we ended up delivering and installing multiple Ozonetech RENA Kitchen Solutions for the client.
By injecting ozone into the exhaust air through a nozzle in the kitchen duct, our powerful RENA Kitchen Solutions system purifies the grease and odor particles present in the exhaust air. This prevents grease buildups in the ducts as well as any potential odor problems that the air could cause once released into the outside world.
By preventing grease buildups, the system keeps the fire risk low, and the purified exhaust air is now much more receptive to any sort of heat recycling process.
The RENA Kitchen Solutions requires very little maintenance and the raw material that it uses for its treatment process, ambient air, is completely free.
Evaluation.
With the Kitchen Solutions system in place, our client now makes use of a sustainable solution at their headquarters.
On top of the odorless, treated exhaust air, our technical solution makes sure that our client has a low carbon footprint and a reduced fire risk.
