KITECHEN ECOLOGY UNIT

Kitchen Ecology Unit (KEU) also known as Pollution Control Unit (PCU). It is a complete filter arrangement developed to remove smoke, grease particles and to control odour from the exhaust air stream of kitchen hoods along with exhaust fans, Ecology Unit is considered a perfect solution for commercial kitchens which usually serve Hotels, restaurants, Hospital and Food industry.

The ecological system is an environmentally-friendly solution that helps maintain air quality. The main objective of the ecological system is to extract the maximum amount of grease in the air emanating from the kitchen hood, to then vent it through the exhaust system and out of the building.


The benefits and features of AAF’s KEU:

  • Grease and Smoke (Particulates) - The equipment removes the particulate contaminants (grease aerosols, moisture, other particulate) that are carried over into the exhaust air stream using electrostatic precipitators in combination with the appropriate stages of particulate filters. These include metal washable filters, high capacity bag filters, and high efficiency (MERV 16) pleated filters. In applications with lighter loading of particulates, solutions may solely use stages of particulate filters. In both cases, it is critical to performance and safety that proper maintenance, cleaning, and replacement are performed as required for the application.
  • Odors (Gases) - Odors result from the release of volatile organic compounds during cooking operations. These volatile organic compounds are in the gas -phase; they are not removed by the particulate contaminant solutions mentioned above. The most widespread solution to remove these compounds is activated carbon applied in filtration cells such as metal cassettes or canisters. In some instances, applications have used a blend of activated carbon and other media. The filtration cells are commonly designed to achieve at least 0.1 seconds of residence time, however, the actual configuration and associated residence time will depend on the cooking operations taking place inside the kitchen.
  • Exhaust of plume at the same level - The kitchen exhaust hood design provides optimum performance and energy efficiency in commercial kitchen ventilation systems by properly selecting and sizing exhaust hoods. Plume raised will be captured by the hood and removed by the suction of the exhaust fan at the same level.

Industry Applications:

How to get rid of Volatile Organic Compounds?

  Due to the recent pandemic explosion around the globe, we are all taking extensive precautions to our health at our home as well as at office premises. But why we are suddenly talking about this and pinpoint the new words • Clean Air • Indoor Air Quality • Air Purifiers • VOC’s [Volatile Organic Compounds] etc Prior to this situation most of us working from exclusive corporate offices/ SEZ parks/ commercial buildings/co-working spaces and even in virtual offices without thinking above topics! What made us think about these? Let us understand these topics one by one VOC: Volatile organic compounds or VOCs are organic chemical compounds whose composition makes it possible for them to evaporate under normal indoor atmospheric conditions of temperature and pressure. According to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency- United States) authority, VOCs have the boiling point range of 50–100 to 240–2600C. These VOCs are everywhere in both indoor and outdoor environments because they have become

How to Tackle Excessive Ethylene In Fruits & Vegetables Warehouses?

  The ripening of fleshy fruits represents the unique harmonization of developmental and biochemical pathways leading to changes in color, texture, aroma, and high nutritional qualities. The gaseous plant hormone ethylene (natural ripening agent in fruits and vegetables) is also an important contributor of nutrition and fiber to the diets of humans. Some fruits and vegetables are more sensitive to ethylene than others, and often they tend to be kept separately. Ethylene  is one of the newest gases being used in fruit and vegetable storage. It is a gas that is released when ripe or damaged fruit is stored. The recommended practice in fruits and vegetable warehouses is to keep ethylene producing items separately from non producing items. Even a small amount of ethylene gas leakage during shipping and storage will accelerate the process of the decay of fresh items. Further, some of the storage providers will use the gases like nitrogen and  sulphur gas  to hamper the high concentrations o

  AIR QUALITY Air quality is one of the most alarming factor in the current time. The rise of air pollution has decreased the air quality giving rise to a bigger consequence of climate change. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. The Air Quality Index is based on measurement of particulate matter (PM 2.5  and PM 10 ), Ozone (O 3 ), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 ), Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions.  The pollution levels in this indoor air can be up to 5 times higher than outdoor levels (in many cases up to 100 times higher), and people spend more than  90%  of their time indoors! Additionally, poor IAQ ranks as one of the  top five  environmental risks to public health, but is often overlooked by key decision makers. The Air Inside Your Building Can Contain: Mold, spores, pollens  Carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
