Kitchen exhaust systems provide a means to remove heat and contaminants (smoke, grease and aerosols) generated during cooking operations. While exhausting these items provides a better indoor environment, it can cause problems outdoors to neighboring facilities due to the associated odors and particulates emitted. The amount and type of contaminants generated from a kitchen exhaust application will depend on the cooking operations taking place inside. The contaminants include gases, vapors, aerosols, and particulates. Therefore, kitchen exhaust filtration must incorporate a wide range of filtration types and be versatile to provide an adequate solution.
