Odor Control in Industrial and Restaurant Settings

Let’s face it! There’s always a challenge for any industrial setting or restaurant when it comes to odors emanating from internal processes such as manufacturing and waste management in cooking fumes, food waste, and grease in a restaurant. The spell that such odors cast in the surroundings would keep customers feeling unpleasant, both in a restaurant and on the work floor.

One of the best solutions to revolutionize how to treat such odors is the advanced air purification technology of the EB Air Sterionizer. The pioneer system uses a unique kind of ionization that acts from the source of odor-causing molecules.

How does it work? 

The EB Air Sterionizer uses a corona discharge system to split oxygen molecules into positive and negative ions. These ions react strongly with water molecules in the air, creating hydrogen peroxide, which together with water molecule clusters, then attacks harmful particles, among which are those causing unpleasant smells.

  • For Cooking Smells: Applicable in a restaurant environment with heavy grease effects, the Sterionizer will manifest such that it breaks down the molecules of hydrocarbons in water into less odorous substances, dissolving the cooking smells. Definitely, it’s a breakthrough for keeping a dining atmosphere fresh and inviting.
  • Removing Grease Trap Odors: Grease traps are vital in preventing sewer blockages, but they easily become constant smell offenders with a stench of nauseating proportions. The Sterionizer brings an end to all that by continuously treating the air around the grease trap, thus neutralizing all the offending smells that escape through the various venting ducts, vent pipes, and sometimes even directly from the trap’s room. This is extremely important for restaurants located very near residential spots.

Beyond Odor Control: Improved Hygiene

Apart from just controlling the annoying odor, the EB Air Sterionizer brings other benefits with it. The ionization process can also kill microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses in the air. Overall, such an act leads to improved general hygiene for the space considered. This is actually important since food service areas are expected to maintain very high standards of hygiene. What is more, the method does not leave harmful chemical by-products, unlike some forms of air purification.

The Importance of Grease Traps

Grease traps help to avoid sewer blockage. All major sewers have grease. Loads of grease from restaurants and similar businesses could not be accommodated in public systems since they are not designed to handle them. When wastewater cools, it solidifies into grease and adheres to the walls of the pipes, which eventually blocks the flow of wastewater. To have an effect, grease traps are mandatory for all businesses that deal with significant quantities of food materials.

This is especially true in the case of properties with tenants comprising restaurants and big kitchens. More stringent grease trap requirements in some cities have shown a clear and unambiguous positive impact on clearing sewer issues.

  • The Disadvantage of Grease Traps
    While they are necessary, grease traps can, in their own right, become odorous. Accumulation of grease encourages the growth of bacteria that lead to hypertrophy of sulphide production, a gas with a distinct “rotten egg” smell, highly corrosive and toxic. 

Optimizing Odor Control

For the full-capacity operation of odor control systems such as the EB Air Sterionizer, full knowledge of the space must be first established. For example, factors considered include area zones, source and intensity of odors, and ventilation characteristics. Better understanding will lead to optimized placement and setting of the Sterionizer for ideal results. In certain cases, increasing the ionization output may even be necessary to oxidize air effectively and, thus, remove undesirable particulates.

Final Thoughts

Proper odor control is important for comfortable and even healthy conditions in industrial and restaurant spaces. Technologies such as the EB Air Sterionizer provide a powerful and effective solution for neutralizing odors at their source as well as enhancing overall hygiene. Such systems applied with proper grease trap management can uplift employee and customer atmosphere significantly, aside from precluding some costly nuisances in the future.
